Build a bridge.

I once read that "introductions" are bridges that transport a reader from their personal life into the place of your "analysis," or in this case my blog (a term which I kinda hate, but that's a different post). After a reader picks a piece to read, the bridge should do one thing - make them leave their world full of text messages, twitter timelines, and trash TV and enter a new world, my world.

Well I suck at introductions, AND will likely never build a bridge (non-metaphorically speaking of course)- however, this is my pledge:

I pledge that as long as your eyes are focused on this Charlie Gal, I will do my best to make you at least try to get to the bottom of your screen without skipping words, but skipping worlds. Your world to my world....or something like that. Ya dig?

Now, for my first confession. I've had every intention on writing this blog (cringe) for quite some time, and have done nothing. Why? Because I'm a slacker!!!! There I said it. I do a lot, but at the same time I don't. I've come to the realization that I will bust my bunza for a lot of things, but not so much myself. YES, I skip eye appointments and dentist appointments, but I'm working on it, ok? It was also brought to my attention that I don't know how to relax. Now this does not mean I don't know how to have a good time - not to toot my own horn but, TOOT TOOT, I'm a fun gal! Anyway, back to RELAX - the word I literally had to look up. I don't know how to sit still. This has nothing to do with my ADHD self-diagnosis, but really, even in my down time I'm constantly on the go....not relaxing.

So lucky me and my seemingly infinite amount of unused PTO. I am currently in Chicago with my glowing Mama-to-be sister, best friend, and best person in the universe (or at least my universe) learning how to....wait for it....RELAX! (ahhhhhhh) Yes, a full 10 days with nothing do but do nothing! Go figure that on Day 2 I decided I needed something to do. Which brings me back to my slackerville-self and the blog I created and abandoned. What a good way to get a headstart huh? Write 3-5 posts while on vacay, and use this as my motivator for when I get back home, yes? YES! Well that's the plan at least.

Stay tuned, and I'll explain the "Charlie" thing later.
