How long do I get to be new?

I promised my online friend (aka Milkweed & Teasel's Jen) that I would write my own blog. So here I am, repleat with mixed feelings. "Me! Me! Me! 100% of the time" The level of self-absorption required is exhausting. Plus -- let's face it -- even I can't find myself that interesting for that long. So thank you (whoever you are) for holding my cyber-hand while I figure the details out. A N D to reward your patience? A cute puppy photo! More interesting musings to follow, honest!
