A Slice of Interweb Pie

As of yesterday, Born 2 Be Mom can be found at www.born2bemom.com  !!!  It feels kinda good to own my own itty bitty, very little piece of the internet.

I was in junior high when we first got "connected" at home.  My parents bought our first family computer when I was 13.  It was a Christmas gift to us all.  Later that year, Dad signed up with Compuserve Online and I remember being absolutely fascinated.  He showed me how to do a search - using Spontaneous Human Combustion as an example, of all random and slightly grotesque things.  (One of those Awesome Dad memories I'll never forget! lol)  And from then on, I was hooked.  I started chatting, emailing, reading, researching, browsing.... And one day, I really hoped to have my own website.

I took a few cracks at it as a teenager, but nothing ever caught on or really kept my attention for much longer than a month or two...That is, until I started blogging.  I had an Open Diary for the longest time, even meeting friends there I still keep in touch with to this day.  Nearly twelve years later, I think the journal still exists, but I haven't logged in or used it.  I would hate to go back now and read the entries from some of those early years.... Yikes.  We certainly change in our late teens and 20's.  Anyway, here I am, inching closer to 30 every day and I've got this blog which I am super proud of!  Best of all, though, I've got my own family whom I am super proud of and they GIVE me the reason to write and to keep this blog going.  *sniff* 

This morning, I woke up in a crummy mood.... but I'm feeling pretty great right now!  What can you tell me about your first "experiences" with the internet???

Enjoy your Wednesday, everyone.  :)
