So this is what the sky looks like this morning. Well only parts of it. I drove in and out of rain to get to work.
Dark clouds on one side and hot sunny blue on the other.

I also found out I need to find a program thats a lot easier to edit then any of these.

The Minimalist Journey

Well after the first post I went on the search for formatting help. Turns out it's not as simple as I thought it might be but google has a document and spreadsheet thingy I think I'm going to like.

I tried to go back to my packing. The way that's supposed to work at least in my head is I unpacked all the kitchen boxes, brought them home and intend to reuse them. This was supposed to be a circle project of packing unpacking and repacking same boxes. Not so simple. The apartment has two closets. One in each bed room. The size of a normal clothes closet. Not tiny but not big. I currently have a decent sized closet plus another small one, both currently still full of stuff. Right now I'm only working on the things that have been piled on the furniture that was moved last weekend. So I have like 8 boxes worth of stuff on the floor plus who knows how much still in the closets. If you did the math your probably asking where it's all going to go. Good question. I paused to try to figure that out before continuing on the packing. I remember reading about a year ago about the minimalist life. How people only have the things they need. Problem is I'm a pack rat, my mother is a pack rat, she's embraced the "not keeping anything unnecessary" idea much better then I have. She seems to be good at packing. I've moved a couple times but in the process always moved back with more stuff then I left with. I still have about four boxes in the garage from when I was 20 that have yet to be unpacked. I do have an extra room for storage but only until January. I could push that deadline a little farther but i really don't want to. So now I just have to figure out how to be a minimalist before the day's over....

The Beginning

I've taken I few writing classes through the years and one thing I remeber is the discussion of who will your audience be. What I can't remember wether or not it was supposed to be one of the more important parts. And the other thing was what are you going to write about the theme the purpose. Those two things alone ought to be the first two things I figure out. But I have no idea either way. I would eventually love a huge readership and to be a popular blogger where people became enthralled with the things of my life. But I guess we can all dream.
I decided to start this blog after becoming completely enthralled in La Gringa's Blogocito. It made me miss writing. Writing has always been one of my favorite things , but in the past couple of years I've set much of that aside.
I think I'll finish this blog with a couple of quick comments about who I am. I'm 25 years old, currently 16 weeks pregnant, preparing to move out of parents home (which I've lived for 22 years, they're selling) to an apartment in the wonderfully safe quiet area of South Norfolk. The baby's father , my boyfriend is from Honduras and we'll be starting a new life in a sense. I promise to write more soon if anyone happens to read this.
