A Little Introduction

Hi, my name is Jan. I’m married to a man named Dan. And if this were a Dr. Suess book, we would live in a can and drive a sedan. We actually live in a basement apartment, a very stereotypical newlywed abode. Dan and I have been married for 5.5 weeks, so yeah, I’m hitting the veteran status now. (I can feel those who have been married for more than 3 months laughing at my newness as we speak.) Thus far, I’m really enjoying married life. My love is also my friend and life is fun. I’ve grown accustom to being “we” instead of “me”, which definitely has its benefits. I’ve been fine sharing things like the car, the bed and the toaster. However, the one thing I kind of miss as my own is my blog. Call me selfish (or don’t because it might hurt my feelings) but I miss having my own cozy little spot on the world wide web to share the random studies I find, give book reviews and tell you about the crazy lady in front of me in the grocery line. You know, those type of meaningful things. On our blog I could feel the ever present new audience of his friends and such, whom I really do enjoy. However, with this new audience I felt self censorship setting in. It caused me to hold back on some of my comments and what I find interesting. I have no one to blame but myself, since I know most of this audience will still accept me even after I post a study on the effects of too much Twilight reading has on the brain. (Let me tell you, it’s bad, real bad.) But to remedy this problem that was becoming stifling, I’ve started a new blog to share all the thoughts and experiences that are just bouncing around my little brain and can’t wait to be released. I will leave my other blog as more of an update for out-of-state friends and family; however, there might be some overlap. But this little space is for me to be me. Welcome.
