Dipping my toe in the water

Well here I am with a blog.

I knew it would happen eventually once I stumbled across www.loobylu.com when reading a rather old copy of Wired at the library where I'm currently working. I'd been looking for a new homepage to replace eBay in my new life as a frugal person and it seemed just perfect and entrancing.

So did most of the other blogs she had links to. I got addicted to checking them all several times a day and quite bummed out wondering how they all had such perfect lives. Luckily I was set straight by two photos in little birds and felt much better.

Inspired by the many pictures of these strangers' comings and goings I found myself taking more photos of my everyday life and set up two Kodak gallery albums as a sort of quasi blog - one on things I'd made this year and the other called "My monochromatic (frugal) life.

But as with most addictions that didn't keep me satisfied for very long. So here I am. Learning another new skill in 2006.

Welcome!
