It's a New Dawn

Wow, I am new to this, so it is "a new dawn" for me. I've never considered a public writing forum, but I tend to hold few secrets, love writing, and it was suggested to me that everyone enjoys a little quirkiness in others. So here I am to talk to myself. I imagine that if absolutely no one reads this, it will still bring me some contentment and occassions to giggle at myself.

If there is such a thing as adding music to this blog; my song of the day would be Pink Floyd's, "Is Anybody Out There". THERE, now it is stuck in my head & maybe yours as well! Like most right-brained folks, I always have a song playing in my head ad nauseum. How 'bout you? Yesterday the song was, "I Can't Wait to Be King"... but more on that later. Maybe I'll be like singer/songwriter/comedian Jonathan Coulton and have a song-a-day.

I'm one of those terribly annoying people who are reminded of a song from a phrase or a simple spoken word, and I must burst out with that matching OFF-KEY melody. But what am I to do? If I don't let it out, it'll bounce around my skull for hours. For example, I typed the word, "yesterday" a few seconds ago. Guess what I tapped on the I-Phone to sing along with?

Yup, you are correct sir.

Okay, only want to do this once. Here's the vitals (feel free to scroll...I know I will): I am the second of three kids to an average middle class family. I definately have middle-kid-syndrome. I grew up in Allentown, PA and Naples, FL. I earned a Master's in Education for the University of Florida. I am 42. I have three children of my own; Kohleen (18), Gabriel (7), and Emma (4). My husband is quite incredible. My mom is my best friend. I teach. Phew, that's enough of that!

I'm not exactly how this works, so I'll do what is pretty typical for me: research the crud out of it. :) An author I read calls that type of personality, "input" and it fits. I do love my factoids. For example, I'm going to count how many time I used the word, "I" in these five short paragraphs...hmmm...hmmmm...ummmhhhhhmmm...double-check...hmm...yup...umhmmm...THAT DOES IT! 34 (including other personal pronouns)! That settles THAT. I'm narcassisic....holy cow, that's 35!
