Not to Kid

All kidding aside - my husband and I choose not to have kids. We made a decision early on for a multitude of reasons. However, its somehow considered a bad thing that you don't want to have kids. In fact, my mother-in-law tells people we can't have kids instead of just telling them the truth. We find it ironic that we've made a responsible, mature choice based on our lifestyles and work - however, we should praise the world for believing married couples should have kids and then use welfare, daycare, nannies and mores to raise kids. There are great parents out there and bad parents. What makes us bad people for just plainly deciding early on we didn't want kids. 2 kids and divorce later is a hell of time to realize you made the wrong choice.

Getting Started - At Lots of Stuff

So I've always considered myself to be fairly tech saavy person - but in learning to set up my blog - its thankful that my 24 year old co-worker was here to help. This is the first sign I'm getting old. Next thing you know I'll need bifocals to see the words while I type.

So my firsts to getting started
1. My First Garden (this weekend)
2. My First 1/2 Marathon (finished 2 weeks ago)
3. My First Century Ride (late summer)
4. My First Blog (a work in progress)

I hope I can start living life fully and undo my ordinary life.
