"Kimi, you should get a blog."

That's what I keep hearing. I only recently discovered this whole blogging thing and have dabbled with the idea of getting one. The apprehension comes from not really knowing what to blog about. I don't think I could possibly limit myself to just blogging about photography, or knitting, or food, or any of the other things I so dearly love. Miriam, a knitting buddy I recently met who I already adore, says to just blog about random anything. So, welcome to my random anything blog.

Last night Miriam and I went to the Salt Lake City Stitch n' Bitch. This was my second week. I was happy to have someone to drive up with, and even though I don't know Miriam all that well yet and have no idea what she thinks of me, I can honestly say I had fun the whole hour and half drive up and back from SLC. Miriam tells me she is a weird girl and a bad member of her religion but I find her to be an extremely kind, thoughtful and normal (in her own fun, zany way, of course) person. I hope we will be friends.

Stitch n' Bitch is a hoot. They pride themselves on being "witty, opinionated feminists." I have met some charming funny ladies, though I always fear if they discover my conservative ways I will be booted out. I have studied political science at USU for the last 4 years, so I'm no dummy. Even though I have liberal professors who I dearly love and conservative ones who I really can't stand, I have my reasons for my right-wingness. However, I am horribly shy and never well-spoken. And I think that an outspoken liberal could probably eat me alive. Hopefully I will not be booted though. Thus far they seem like a friendly enough bunch.

Here is the thing about blogging. I am going to have to make a rule that I can't do it until my house is clean. And my homework is done. And my toddler is fed. As I was chatting about blogs with Ayla, Jessica and Kate last night, I predicted that if I got one, my toddler would starve, my husband would leave, I would flunk out of school (in my last semester, I might add), and at the end of it all I would have left would be a blog. Ayla's response was "But maybe you might get a following!" I had to laugh at that. With that said, I'm off to clean my house, and finish my homework, and feed my toddler.

The end.
