What's in a name?

Welcome everyone! Welcome to my brand new blog, Squirrel! Why Squirrel! you ask? Well, I am one of those people who gets really excited about trying new things. Most recently, for instance, I've decided to train for, then run, a half marathon in October of this year, go back to school, volunteer at a cat shelter, redecorate our apartment using only things from thrift stores, find and knit cute, useful items for birthdays and christmas this year, learn how to maintain my bike (which has a flat tire and a broken gasket) using books from the library, and find time to write this blog. I'm sure writing this blog will help me sort out what is reasonable, and what I should put off until later. Squirrel! is in reference to any of those cartoons you've seen where there is a dog talking/doing something and s/he is suddenly distracted by, what else? A squirrel. Yep. That's me.

and take more pictures!

It'll take me a little while to figure out how to tweak my blog, and I'll work on pictures, but in the meantime, I'll keep you posted.
