I think I should start a blog

So I was talking with my sister, Lauren, about how much I love The Bloggess.  I kinda have a crush on her. She is really funny, and buys really strange stuff. And then Lauren told me that I should start a blog.  That I am funny, and that I can write moderately well, and that I too, can buy really strange stuff.  And Lauren wants to be my PR manager.  That way we both can have jobs that only involve remembering what I did that day, and buying really strange stuff.  A definite WIN. 


Another reason I should start a blog.  I have always wanted to write a novel.  I have the outline all laid out - in my head.  I write sentences and even paragraphs for it all the time - in my head.  Because, you see, actually writing a novel seems like a lot of work.  And I am a subscriber of therblig studies. And there is nothing efficient about writing a novel. (are you actually clicking on my links?  You really should, then you would know what the heck a therblig is, and why you should read Cheaper By the Dozen)


Blogs are much easier than novels.  I can just write whatever I want to.  It doesn't has to relate to the previous days writing. It doesn't even have to make sense. And I don't have to worry about character continuity. Like names. I know that if I were writing a novel, I would accidentally change the name of the main character from Mark to Ben and not even notice, and you would be really confused.  In a blog, I can change names anytime I want to.  Just like I do in real life.  On any given day, I could either be Kat or Mary Kathryn or both.    About 5 years ago, I decide to change my name to Kat.  But you would be surprised how hard it is to give yourself a nickname when you are in your 30's. And when you have lived in the same place for almost 20 years.  People got confused, and used Kat and Mary Kathryn interchangeably.  Then I got confused, and I started using Kat and Mary Kathryn interchangeably.  But I never use Mary.


So we have established that I a going to blog.  What kind of blog? I don't know. I will probably post about being a Momma, but it won't be a parenting blog.  I will probably post about running, but it won't be a running blog.  I might post some recipes, but none of you will like them.  Because they will be low fat, low carb, and full of strange vegetables like mushrooms, turnips, and asparagus.  But I promise you I will do my best to buy strange stuff.  Or at least take pictures of the strange stuff I would buy if I had any money left.


I am sure you all want to know about the title of my blog.  I was trying to win a digital scrapbook kit.  And to enter, I had to post a comment on her blog. But I think China had attacked the internet again, because it wouldn't let me post my comment without creating a blog myself.  So I filled out all the forms, and came up with a username, and then it wanted me to name my blog.  Really???  I don't want a blog - I want free digital scrapbooking kits! So I named my blog "really".  Now I do want to blog.  And I have a blog already.  As as we all now know, the therbrig in this situation is to use the blog I already have.


So you should subscribe to my blog. Because I overuse run on sentences, which are very entertaining. And I frequently start sentences with the word "and", which is not grammatically correct, but I like to do it anyway.  And you might learn what to do with that strange leek that jumped into your cart when you weren't looking.  But most importantly, you can say that you followed my blog before I became popular.  


- Kat or Mary Kathryn, I haven't decided who I am today.
