debut of hippo speaks

okay, what am i doing here? i like the word "blog". it sounds like a diagnosis; i.e., "sorry, honey, but you have the blog." i wonder if i need to take any antiobiotics for it.

okay, so i have the blog. what do i do with it? i guess i'll think of something clever to say, but true to my procrastinating nature, i think i'll save that cleverness for another day.

it's like they tell you when you start writing: just write anything; keep on writing until you think of something to say. i repeat myself. that cleverness will have to wait. for now, i'll just keep writing like bridgett jones, as in "bridgett jones goes blogging"....that never-ending stream-of-consciousness writing that lets you write things you never knew were in your own head.

i warn you. this blog is not entertaining. it's a start. entertainment comes later. it's getting a post posted. it's overcoming inertia. oh, and then i need to figure out how to get a photo posted--ohmygosh, i'd better do something to my hair....and what about something to wear....and what if i look fat in the photo and noone wants to read what i have to say.

wow--now i've started something. i hope it's good---or intriguing---or funny---or at least doesn't make someone throw up.

anyway, this will have to do for today. i need to go to the real post office. my purse is there, having been mailed a week ago from montana. i'll tell you later how my purse ended up in the united states postal service and i am here.
