The Blonde Leading the Blind

I’m what you call a late bloomer. It’s not like I’m oblivious to the world around me.  I’m aware.  I check out the latest gadgets. I’m hip to the trends. Sometimes I even embrace them from time to time.  It’s just making that initial leap that seems to throw me.  A little ironic for someone who makes her living marketing books on high-end graphics and emerging technologies, eh?  

My very Web 2.0 friends and coworkers have been pestering me for years to join the blogosphere, and I headed into 2007 confident that it would be the year I finally took the plunge.  It was also going to be the year that I slimmed down to the body of my dreams, found the perfect haircut to transform my stringy do to a rockin’ coif, replace my dingy and more-than-a-little worn out wardrobe,and, oh yeah, I was going to pay down my debt, become fiscally-sound, and dare I say, even have extra cash to divert to a very adult retirement plan, so I don’t have to spend my golden years as a grocery bagger…with bad hair and holes in my sweaters. I don’t think I need to tell you how that all turned out.  Stupid New Year’s resolutions.

How could I have known that all it would take was a simple phone call from one of my oldest and not-at-all tech savvy friends to shame me…er, spur me…into action?  It seems she had started her own blog, Two Zany Zebras, at the end of March to sell homemade baby items like bibs and blankets.  How could this have happened?  How did she even find out what a blog was?  I’d been trumped by my best friend, Jill, a complete technophobe!  :  )

And, thus The Blonde Leading the Blind was born…

Here you’ll learn more about my superhero husband and our wonderdogs (Halas and Lombardi), get a look at the world through the eyes of a babbling blonde, and be treated to a snarky rant or two…or three or four, for those of you who’ve actually met me.  

I hope you enjoy The Blonde Leading the Blind, and if you don’t, you have no one to blame but yourself…well, and maybe Jill.  Stay tuned…
