And the Initial Chapter Begins

Ok. If you are reading this, you just found out that for some reason your good friend Emily has started a blog called LOST on Soggy Waffles. Your initial thought was probably WTF. Your immediate second thought was probably....Well, you never know. It is Emily.

However before I break the suspense and explain my title, I would like to let you know why/how this whole thing started. My amazing friend and cube partner Calla (Louisiana friends remember her name, she will be brought up a lot) has to "Listen"/"Talk" to me almost all day, every day. She gets to hear about my wonderful friends and family in the south and all of my daily excursions (good or bad). Today for the 3rd or 5th time she has let me know that I should start my own blog. Then later this evening, I was enjoying a pork chop and a screwdriver when I decided, "By-joe Calla, I think your right!"

So here we are. A girl with no computer skills has started a blog. I mean, I have a lot to learn. Look at my blog background for Christ's sake....it was the generic template that was available. I tried to go to the advance tab to update the background, but WHOAH....Way too Scary! Baby Steps, Baby Steps! Also, I have no idea what to write about each day? I mean I want to learn how to keep this blog "Goldilocks". You know, not too much, not to little, but just right. That won't happen for a while. But I am guessing your already knew that. Oh and lest we forget... my conversational writing skills are not the best. Be prepared for run-on sentences, unnecessary commas, and the excessive use of ellipses.

Ok, now that you know to expect far from perfection, we will move on to the next subject. What is this blog about? Everyone in the blog world has their niche, but......get ready......enter Emily. This blog is for anything and nothing. It can be used to update you on the events of my life, let you know my random thoughts of the day, for pictures, to let you know about any random cute boys, to let you know about any "deep discussions" I've had in my favorite conference room or wherever;), or to simply let you know how irresponsible or dumb I can still be as an adult ( cough, cough...not knowing that the  shift key could be used for CAPS). Anyways, just so you know, my main blogging reason  is to keep my closest friends from back home updated on my life, as if  I was still with you in Louisiana. It is also to entertain my friend Calla and others in Denver , who are just plain bored at work.

Ok, it's almost my bed time, so I guess I should finally allow you in on the reason behind my blog title. Duh...duh...duhnnnnn (that is the dramatic movie climax sound). My friend Calla's original thoughts on a blog name/theme had to deal with the dirty dirty south meeting the wild wild west. I loved it! But, blog titles are catchy, and since I can't even create a background, I needed a catchy title.

So, I began to think, and for some reason I began to think of compasses. And then I became distracted. My mind began to drift to the series finale of LOST. And then it kept drifting. What if I could live on an island where the Louisiana Southern and the Colorado West could somehow splice/merge into perfect harmony. And then before I knew it, back to compasses. And then a few seconds later I was thinking of third grade....you know when teachers teach you how to remember directions.  "Never Eat Soggy Waffles." And I then began to think of the 2 places I love.......the South (Soggy) and the West (Waffles). Then my mind left compasses and went back to me thinking of this LOST Island where everything I love about the South (Soggy) and West (Waffles)are combined....but yet my thoughts were slightly weirder because my mind was on LOST. And then my brain decided to merge all my thoughts at once. If I were LOST on this island.........the coordinates would somehow be the south (soggy) on top of the west (waffles). Not like a normal compass...In fact, the exact opposite. And I would be LOST on Soggy Waffles! So if you get it or not....there it is! I am going to leave you with this thought tonight, but won't leave you for too long. Because I have to tell you about the fabulous floppy brimmed 5 inch black hat I just bought, and why I bought it:)

But can't leave the blog without a, "what is going on picture?" of Calla and I! Calla, I love this silly pic! You have on the, "I am trying to dance and we have taken 20 pics face." I have on the "Just one more" face:)

But we  do need more pics STAT!
