What is a blog?

Alright, I have had several people ask me what exactly is a blog? It is a weblog or a journal you write in daily (or whenever) which keeps your friends and family up to date. Its a good way to keep each other informed when conflicting schedules prevent communication. And its fun!
Big thanks to the THREE people who commented on my first blog. Seems like it was a HUGE success. (lol)
Talked to my brother the other night and he said he almost hit a moose. I have never seen a moose up close before but apparently they are monstrous. That one must have been because it scared him and he was driving a one-tonne! Does anyone have a good picture of a moose?
Today the boys at work were trying to convince me to move back into the other office with them. Besides Friday hot-dog day, they said I was missing out on excellent conversation. It was this precise moment that Mr.Glazer chose to set off the electronic whoppee cushion. Not surprisingly, their attempt was unsuccessful.
Today's feature picture is Vancouver Island, or what I call home (big smile). Last week the weather was actually nice enough for me to head down to the beach to do my readings. I had to remind myself that it was only February which is hard to believe when you drive home under trees filled with blossoms and your garden is sprouting tulips and crocuses. But hey-I'm not complaining!
Anyway, it may be reading week but I have a ton of essays to complete. 2/7-the countdown is on. Wish me luck!

First Blog


Okay, I have finally decided to start a blog because Wayne has convinced me. (Congratulations Wayne). I have MYspace and thats pretty cool because I actually remember to add to it every now and then. Lets see how well I do with a blog. What usually happens is that I forget my user name or password-or both!! hmmm...what is it again?
Anyway....how to start. Well, I am living in Victoria attending UVic and trying to get my Phd in History....check back with me in 4 years! I have to stop changing my mind! mom, dad-I swear this is my final decision! Meanwhile, I am patiently waiting to see if my best friend Jyoti decides to take the plunge and move here. Come on Jyo-roomies!!! Oh, by the way she got into law school (you rock girl!)
I am officially on reading break and dying because I have to write 6 essays in the next 4 weeks! Oh why did I take 4 history (300) classes and an english class? Yeah, still trying to figure that one out. Most difficult and time consuming........but loving it! Yes, I am insane!
RILEY! That would be my cat driving me insane! He keeps meowing and trying to flop on my laptop-hair everywhere. Ah, my spotted little kitty needs to learn patience! I hear its a virtue!
Anyway, Desperate Housewives is on in a bit and Jamie and I just finished making cookies (smellin so good). I've been enticed to try one. Til next time.
Adios amigos
