Hello Blog World

Ready or not I'm starting a blog. I have been wanting to for so long now that I figure if  I don't just start I never will. I have such big ideas....a little bit of this and a little bit of that, a lot of this and more of that. I'm hoping that this goes better than the story I started in the 7th grade. I had such high hopes of having a best seller. On chapter two I caught a case of writer's block that was never cured. I'll never know if Samantha got ungrounded and was able to go to the high school dance with Brennan.

My reason for this blog may be a bit deeper than wanting to live vicariously through fiction characters. So, I'm going to say I will see this through! I want to let my family and friends living miles away to see Bitting Bits. (That was my second choice for blog name. I have a problem with letters! I like them. I LIKE them. I like everything to have a rhyme or reason.) This (layout) might be a bit dull to look at until I can figure out or have time to play with the settings but you're here because you want to hear what I have to say not how pretty my blog layout is, right?!
Mr. C never has writer's block. I'm thankful he has decided that paper is the best medium for his stories. Our walls have needed repainting anyway.

I'm excited to tell about the kids; their accomplishments, their hobbies, their schooling, their life. Our life! So stay tuned..... We're gonna have a good time!

P.S. I'm just sure that Samantha's mom was understanding and realized that Samantha didn't deserve to be grounded from such an important event in her adolescent life!

I'm so glad you got this up and running! It's already adorable. But then, I really to love the color blue! I love Corbin's little name carefully penned on his school paper. Such an adorable little student you have there.

Now I have to get my blogging act together!

Sorry to Summer, but my suggestion would be NOT to add music to your blog, because it totally detracts from pictures and if you add any video you have to pause/mute the music element. Also, it makes your blog load so much slower. (And your husband can tell when your messing around on the computer instead of folding laundry when the music suddenly blasts from the bedroom...oh wait, that's just me!) The first thing I do when I read a favorite blog, who happens to also have music uploaded to it, is turn off the song, even if it's a song I love. There's my one and a half cents' worth of opinionatedness. The end.

By the way, I didn't know you started a novel! I'm sure Samantha's parents held their end of the discipline, but Samantha decided to sneak out the prom anyway!
