A Blog? Really, Mary?

A Blog? Really, Mary?

Yes.  I am actually beginning this blog that I have been contemplating for a year now.  Will I be consistent about it? Ehhh, maybe, maybe not--but I like to think I will be. 

Using "Mary" As A Synonym for "Merry"? Are You That Myopic, Mary?

Well, I was "merry Mary" during work crew at Malibu, a YoungLife camp in British Columbia, after a name game in which we used an adjective to describe ourselves that begins with the same letter of our first name.  I have recently had to use my name as a replacement for the homonym "merry" after mistakingly talking to myself in third person out loud in front of the my 8th grade class.  I believe the comment was something like, "Pass out the homework, Mary" and I had to explain how I meant "Pass out the homework, merrily" in efforts to protect all personal information (yes, even just my first name) from the potential of a personal investigation of my life by middle schoolers via facebook, twitter, or who knows what else.  I like to fuel the idea that teachers do not have a life, we grade for fun, and we live at school.  

What Are You Going To Talk About? Your "Kids" That Aren't Even Yours? That's Creepy...

While I like to think of myself as a merry person, my hopes for this blog are to bring my readers (hey, mom) a lil snippet of some of life's simple pleasures that make me merry, make me smile, make me laugh, or make me feel blessed.  The blogs may be short, may be long, may be a simple picture, may be a short story, but each blog will give you a lil bit of what makes me smile.  

Hopefully, it will in turn make you smile.  :)
