Twittering, Tweets and the like...

Okay, so I am finally figuring out Twitter...and to my genuine surprise I am really liking it. I love following the House and Senate and getting news from The Huffington Post sent directly to me. It's like the best of the news channels tickers keeping me uber-informed.

I have to admit my favorite is the FDA twitter - I am taking a Food Safety and Sanitation course right now and their twitter feed keeps me up to date on every recall notice that is being sent out. It's awesome and saves me loads of time when it's time to do my homework.

Okay, having said that, I made a pretty concerted effort to really understand Twitter - it was one of my new year's resolutions - and now I feel obligated to really give this blog thing a go. I read tons of blogs and maybe I can find a direction for this blog if I try a little harder that might be interesting to at least one more person out there!

My First Post

When I was getting ready to post this, my very first blog post, I searched for lists of famous firsts. That got me to thinking, there are lots of famous firsts, but not so many famous lasts. There are lots of lasts out there I'd like to see - a last injustice, a last war, a last car accident, a last murder. I suppose that's just not the way the world works. Anyway, I hope there won't be a last post anytime soon, but right now I'm just going to get through the first one.

Usually you start an essay with a statement of premise, but most of what I will cover is outlined in my "About Me..." section. For the next couple of weeks you will probably see lots about my vegetable garden. It's the time of year when gardens need a lot of work to get going and since mine is brand new it is taking a bit of work. And usually I am the black thumb of death girl, so it's exciting to actually have things growing for me.

Other than that, there's not much to cover in this first post, so I will just ask you to please drop by often and drop me a line if you have any questions or gardening advice!
