Blame It On Cabin Fever

At the first sign of a snowflake, I begin hibernation. Literally.

If I didn't need to earn a dollar to eat and pay for the heat I need to crank up at full blast, I'd never leave the house. I hate the "S" word, the sight of my breath on frigid air, the cold that never seems to leave my bones, and the infernal darkness of DayLight Savings Time. But a girl has to pass all this time in her cave so....

Deb got herself a blog!

Hey! It's better than losing my mind as usual, in the freezing depths of January. And believe me, there's nothing more terrifying that the prospect of me with a giant-sized case of Cabin Fever. Just check out my crawl space.

The real problem comes as I realize I now have to actually fill this thing up without boring the crap out of everyone who actually starts reading it!

I will definitely use it to vent. After all, this is an election year and I am hooked on Huffington Post, a surefire way to bunch up my underwear and make me dust off my old picket signs. Let me state right now, I like Barak Obama.

I also hope to use it to document my journey as emerging writer. To get into deeper contact with my fellow writers in the Crime, Mystery/Thriller world, a great group of people that are generously helping and encouraging me as I go.

I want to learn, laugh and grow along the way. So we'll see where this goes and hope for the best. Personally, I think it's gonna be more fun than watching a Brittany Spears meltdown!!!!

OH SISTER 'O MINE!
What have you gotten yourself into now! I knew if I left you on the side of that mountain you'd go the way of all great head cases- Postal! It's a bit strange to be sitting in the middle of huge snow, there's that "S" word again, drifts contemplating revolution and deviant behavior. Besides I thought that was my venue! Well as they say hunker down and sip good whiskey, oh and leave a saucer of milk out for

Good luck on your blog. You will do great. I started one 2yrs ago when I quit work. I thought I would use it like a journal to document my time home with the kids. I have blogged about 4 times in 2yrs! But I still have it just in case... I will be a devoted reader to your blog;)
Have a great day!
