Black Monday Conformist
Okay, so here I am joining the thousands upon thousands who daily log on to their blog spots and jot down their inner most thoughts and feelings. Seeing that this is my very first entry, I feel this pressure to type out something profound and thought provoking. But I digress. The thing is, I am a *gasp* virgin blogger *gasp* (hurry, cover your eyes!) and therefore am quite perplexed with setting up my blog page. I suppose I' will learn and discover as I go along.
Ironically enough, today is February 14th - what I like to affectionately call "Black Monday". A few years ago, Valentine's day fell on a Sunday and so I had a "Black Sunday" party where all my friends who attended the party had to wear all black. Ahh, the memories! I went to Wal-Mart this evening after my run, to see if I could find a stockpile of left-over, discounted Valentine's chocolate to give to my roomates. Dag, I am so freakin' cheap and sad! But wouldn't you know, it was all sold out?? I mean, c'mon people! Why does Valentine's day have to be the ONE day where you celebrate and show your love towards each other? I tell ya, it's another marketing guise to rip off the consumer. Am I bitter? Probably.
Nuff said.
About Me
- Joy
- I am a woman with a high-spirited soul. I love God with all my heart, mind and soul. I love the pitter patter of rain and the city lights, the quaintness of old brick roads and buildings, and the fresh scent of a hiking trail and the silence of a book shelf. I have an eclectic taste in music ranging from the oddity of Sufjan Stevens to the sassiness of Taylor Swift. I know the difference between saffron and sage, among other things, and I almost know what tumeric is. I believe in the contagiousness of joy and the basic sweetness of life. Nice things often happen to me - answered prayers, flowers from friends, unexpected phone calls from far away friends, the discovery of delectable desert shops, sweet cards and packages in the mail, and laughter till your tummy hurts. Some things I have but don't use as much as I maybe should are markers and crayons, a passport, a somewhat "perfect pitch", a slip-'n-slide, a camera and common sense. I have a big God who loves me, a beagle/french bull dog mix named Georgie who drives me up the wall yet whom I adore at the same time, and three things I prize: warmth, grace and brains.

LOL! Somewhat, but I'll let you know when I've joined the ranks of "de-virginized" bloggers. ;)
