Just starting out ...

I never knew blogging could be so simple. It is a good way to purge to myself. I'm a wild cat football fan because my son plays football for them. He is a lowly freshman. He was my ballast at home, such a good kid. Now he's off on a new adventure and I'm happy for him. I'm sad for myself, because I can't really talk to anyone about how crazy I start feeling sometimes.

I love reading other people's blogs, especially fanfiction. I love 'at home with the gorens' because it is so escapist and boy do I need to escape! Plus I love looking at the pictures. VDO is the coolest.

I like reading the 'in Death' series of books by JD Robb featuring futuristic cop Eve Dallas. She's a woman who had to recreate herself, very much like myself, although I'm not an ass kicker. Plus I don't have the super fantastic gorgeous, rich and can-do anything hubby. Mine's not bad, but he's not Roarke.

Basically it is fun to write a journal that I don't have to worry about my family reading because they shouldn't read it, ever. I can get a hell of a lot of stuff to go away when I type it out.

welcome to blogland... hope you have as much fun here as I do.

Thank you for visiting me and thank you for loving "at home with the gorens" ~ my personal place to escape with my uber-hero Bobby Bobby.

I'm sorry I don't know anything about football or the Wild Cats but how amazing for your son.

lotsa luv ann xxxxxx

Hi Ann,
Thank you for a warm welcome. The only thing you really need to know about football is that it is way more complicated than it seems!
Here's why I love Mr and Mrs BG (besides the great escape): Bobby just wouldn't have a relationship with Alex, she's like the sister he never had. Plus Mrs.BG is perfect for Bobby- smart and a little naughty. After all I think he has a slight naughty side himself, don't you?
You have romantic tendencies- ever read Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series? It's the source of my nom de plume.
thanks so much!
Claire
