First time for everything, right?

So never ever have I ever blogged or even considered blogging before but all of a sudden (or in retrospect over the last few months) the idea of writing to an anonymous group of people has grown on me and so here I am, a lotion pusher on the verge of sharing her insanity with the world at large (or whomever happens to stumble across this page). For clarification purposes, a lotion pusher is nothing dirty (get your mind out of the gutter or maybe its just my mind that is there) but a person who merely runs a cosmetic shop. Hence, being a lotion pusher. Use some lotion, you know you'll like it (and now I hear my friend Kim recanting Silence of the Lambs "It rubs the lotion on it's skin" in my head). And being that i have never done this, I have no idea how to start. Is there some sort of blog kick off party I am suppose to throw? Do I email all my friends and let them know that I am now writing everything online, so please stop calling me and texting because I will only communicate via the blog from this point forward? Is there a manual somewhere that I can read and declare as my new bible? Did anyone else have these questions when they started just typing?

The only thing I know for sure is that J (my better half) is going to be so proud of me. Well that is until I start blogging about him.
