First time blogger, long time ponderer.

So, this is my very first blog post, kind of an overwhelming sensation. I think this may be the most difficult post to make, considering I have so much that I could talk about, but out of courtesy for readers, dragging the post out is most likely not preferred. I guess I should start out by telling every body what I would like to discuss in this blog. First off, I am an avid sharer. As do most human beings, I enjoy learning and experiencing things, and sharing them with other people who actually care about my experiences, and in turn hopefully these experiences will be able to inspire, inform, evoke change, take up someone's free time, or simply just take up space in the world of internets. I think it's sort of sad that I've waited so long to start a blog, but I'll try not to be discouraged or intimidated by all of the other super hip and innovative blogs that have been created out there, but I can't promise that sometimes what I share with my reader won't be cliche (hopefully I'll learn how to add an accent over that letter e pretty soon). If I spent my whole time posting trying not to be cliche, I don't think I could relate to anybody else (because we're all cliche at some point in our lives, and that's o.k.). See? I'm already starting a tangent there, so . . . back to being a "sharer". I like to cook, and I love to create affordable, healthy, and delicious dinners for a party of one (or two if I want to eat leftovers for a couple of days), and I would love to share some quick and easy recipes for the other cooking connoisseurs (I sadly had to google that word to see how to spell it, I'm not very good with french words). I would also like to share daily experiences, for example, an idea I might of had while I was on my morning run/dog walk, or while I was sitting in traffic, or what I was observing on the transit line, or while I was eating a meal in public by myself. Yes, I'm an avid observer-certainly shy in new and strange places (like Chicago, Illinois, where I have just moved to, from the sleepy dwellings of Kent, Ohio). If a stranger talks to me first, chances are I'll probably talk to them, because I am SO EAGER to communicate and form connections in an environment that is new and foreign. Lastly, I would like to share where I have been going in the city; museum exhibits, concerts, garage sales, community events, restaurants, etc. Hopefully, as soon as I obtain some sort of job, these places I am going will increase as my income increases. I promise I will update my blog as often as I can, and my posts will most likely decrease as my schedule gets busier, but I will try to never slack on grammar, punctuation and accuracy. Now that I feel like I've long-windingly covered all of my bases, I feel that I can start sharing with you.
