How it all began.

Again, I'm sitting online learning to blog with gmail and facebook open.  They're almost always open.

Blip! My best friend was sending me smilies via facebook.  She kept typing the same statement over and over.  I didn't get it, then she called.  She was laughing at herself and her ineptitude when it comes to computers.  That's typically how she sounds anytime she calls.  Laughing.  If she's not laughing at you, she's laughing at herself.

Kathie is real.  There's nothing hidden.  She lives life out loud and has no qualms telling you about it.  We've known each other since high school.  Kathie is my opposite.  She's Metis (of New Brunswick), dark, full figured, a drama queen, dog and baby crazy, lover of stuff and shopping.  I am white (of the UK), fair, tall, a mediator, cat owner, purging my life of stuff to travel and lover of nature.  Kathie claims that if I stop shaving my legs, that's it...it's over between us.  So, I shave my legs.

As we ended our telephone chat about shopping, cooking (actually, her and her daughter's inability TO cook), the mall, people we know, Kathie said, "Have fun blogging!  You learn how and then you can tell me how to do it.  Maybe we can blog together?"  Brilliant!  She is brilliant.  Here is that blog.

Whatever ends up here...
