Why "Confidently Random?"

Hello!

When setting up a blog, the first thing you have to decide is the URL name.  Yikes!  Talk about a big decision right up front!  I tried various fun and/or catchy phrases or names, variations of my own name, and really whatever came to mind... which was a Big Blank before to long.  Everything I thought of had already been taken.

Then I thought about my purpose for the blog, and who I am.  Ooo, that one was difficult.  Who am I?

In a story I'll share later, I have learned and have accepted that I am random.  I can jump from one subject to the next, seemingly without any connection (although I promise there is), and keep going.  Items without a set location move around frequently.  I have also just accepted the fact that not everything I say is appropriate for the situation. I have said some pretty stupid things in the past.  The sad thing is, the more I try to explain myself - the worse I make it.  I can only shake my head and learn from it.

I have learned to be okay with this.  Actually, I know it's a uniqueness of mine for better or for worse.

I do not use that as an excuse to leave everything care free and not take responsibility.  Rather, I use this knowledge so I know how to move forward in a way that works for me and those around me.  This is where the word confidence comes in.  I know who I am.  This "randomness" is truly just a blessing to me.

Mason rolls over, without hands!

I finally caught him on tape!  Here is a video of Mason, all swaddled for a nap, rolling over to his stomach.

He started fussing because he lost his pacifier.  Once that was recovered and given, he settled right down.

This is the only blanket that he can't pull his arms out of.  He has become our little Houdini when it comes to swaddle blankets.

Testing the Waters & What to Expect

Hello!

I have no idea where this will go or if anyone will really read it.  Truly, this is more for me than anyone.  If you're checking it out, Welcome!

You can expect to see posts about my Religion, Family, Life, and (occasionally) Random Odd things as well.  Timing of posts will not be consistent.  (More on that later)

Also, I love to be grammatically correct. So.... if I have misused a comma, or have abused an apostrophe, let me know!  Just be kind. :)
