Nothing Profound, Just Hey, How Ya Doin'?

Thursday, August 7, 2008

I suppose it's what every blogger does - their first post is usually the icebreaker/introduction. To all my friends who read this, none of this stuff is news, but to all potential new friends and well-wishers, it makes sense to have an idea of who I am and why I feel the need to blog about my hobbies and life in general.

There really is no why - I just thought it would be fun.

So about me in general: I am a stay-at-home mom to a 3 year old beautiful girl, and a housewife to a wonderful hubby. Sounds like the classic Donna Reed thing, right? It is pretty cool, I'll be honest. Not that I'm old fashioned (or hopelessly brainwashed into the 50's mold), but being at home and raising my daughter seems like the right thing to be doing. We made the choice to have a child, and my responsibility is to raise her. It's an opportunity my husband and I have made for ourselves, and not without sacrifice.

Wow, didn't know I had a soapbox on that one. I guess I have an issue. As with all posts here, please feel free to comment. My husband and I both have that "discussion is always a good thing" mentality - for a detailed explanation of this, and a really good blog, visit his at http://thefrankspot.blogspot.com/. (It's in my fave blogs in the sidebar.)

OK, more about me, and what you can expect to find here: I'm a musician (rock & roll, baby); a gamer (PC - not console. I hate controllers. I was an Atari child, then an Apple lle user, back in the day.); an RPG player (fantasy and sci-fi); and a military history nut. Among other things. I also do some girlie stuff: Counted cross stitch, crochet, baking, gardening...and mom stuff. So this is kind of a kitchen sink blog. You may also find a few references to Wicca and paganism, politics, "greening", and other various global issues to name a few.

So, my friends, here I am! This is Reenie's Space, for opining, sharing and just plain hanging out.

Glad you're here!
