Catching up with the information super highway

OMG, my first blog. My decision to start this blog began with an O Magazine article and a thought: "I used to journal, but haven't in years..." I journaled all through my adolescence when I used to have free time and a prohibition against alcohol and late night television. Now those prohibitions have been replaced by a lack of free time between a husband, two dogs, bills, jobs, school, a LARGE family, an impending job search, a love of food and eating, and a love-hate relationship with exercise. If I think back to my old journals, I'm actually frightened. They were filled with terrible poetry and musings originating from hormonal variation. On the other hand, my journals helped me make it through the tribulations that mark adolescence, and in that regard were terrific. But, I'm stable now, and so this blog will be a bit different. I'm not Carrie Bradshaw, nor am I Dear Abby.
What I am is a woman coming of age in uncertain and rapidly changing times. I'm happier than ever. I am comfortable in my own skin. And I'm not finished designing myself. When I think about who I want to be in an ideal world (this world), I am a writer. Writers write. And in this day and age, writers blog. I'm catching up with the information super highway and journaling out in cyber space. Hence, injensskin. Welcome, and enjoy.
