i guess i'm coming to your party

so here's the deal... i've decided to blog. i don't know what it entails but i have thoughts too. so here's 10 (or 9) reasons for this absurdness.
1. the reason for my blog name is that i have a pet peeve about people using the phrase "up and at 'em" it's always annoyed me.
2. i know the only people who are going to read this are my family. but if this is what it takes to stay in touch, i'm in.
3. i'm not happy about this stupid blog.
4. but it was my idea.
5. that last line was trish's idea.
6. i actually do enjoy reading other people's blogs. liz... you complain a lot. but i love it.
7. i feel as though there isn't much male influence in this world of blogging. i might find out why soon.
8. although she's the funny one, trish tells me i'm funny too. i figure she's either lying or i should share my gift.
9. i've never journaled or wrote much. i always wondered what purpose it served.
10. i've got nothing. i set the bar pretty low.
