What do you write about on a blog?

...and what in the heck does blog stand for, anyway? It's got to be an acronym for something. If anyone knows, do tell.

Anyway, I've decided to give blogging a whirl. I like to write, and I like to talk about myself, so it seems like a win-win. :-)

So, from reading other people's blogs, it seems a lot of people kick these off with "Things to know about me". So, here goes: 5 things you should know about me. Seems a bit narcissistic, but, whatever, you can quit reading at any point. I won't know the difference. You, however, will not get to know the number one most interesting thing about me!!! Ya' hooked?

5. I HATE waking up in the morning. Like, truly hate it. And before you send me Prozac, it's not that I'm depressed and can't face another day; it's more like I love my bed so dearly that the thought of being ripped out of my cozy cocoon about does me in. My last roommate said she actually felt sorry for me in the mornings I seemed so sad. So, if you see me in the morning, it's not you. It's me. Truly.

4. I have a minor obsession with pop culture magazines. I subscribe to US Weekly, People, and Entertainment Weekly. And, I must admit, I always end up buying Life & Style, In Touch, OK, and Star. Why? I don't know. They all say the exact same thing. Need to know the latest on Lil Lo and SamRo? (Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson for those of you not in the know) I'm your gal!

3. Heard of the expression always the bridesmaid never the bride? It may have been written with me in mind. Next weekend, I serve as a bridesmaid for the EIGHTH TIME. This has taught me a lot of things--how to make a bouquet out of ribbons, how to write a witty yet moving speech, how to do the electric slide (still can't master the danged cha cha slide) and how to bend your knees every so slightly, as to not pass out at the altar.

2. I, like Michael Scott (Steve Carrell from the Office) find it absolutely hilarious to insert "That's what she said" into the conversation whenever even remotely funny. Not only do I find it hilarious every time, I expect the people around me to find it just as funny. Example: Tuesday night I was hanging up a new shower rod (the tension kind) and said to my friend, "Do I just screw it until it won't screw anymore?" to which I immediately followed up with a " That's what she said." Admit it, it's funny.

1. I hate to run. With a passion. Yet I have signed up for the mini for the second time. I'm all the way up to a whopping 2 miles at a time. I'm a Lambert, and we're not exactly built for speed, as many of you may know. Wish me luck. Last time I darned near collapsed. They do, however, give you lots of free food at the end.

Well, that's it. My first blog. I'm glad we got to know each other. How do people ever know you have a blog, I wonder? I feel kind of silly sending an email to people asking them to read my innermost thoughts... Hmm...
