It has been 2 years and 4 months since I last blogged. The primary reason for this is that I forgot my password and never got around to figuring it out.
That being said, I intend to blog once more. I also intend to read more blogs of people who write about things that interest me. Or the blogs of people I like.
I make no promises regarding the quality of the things I write. Most of the things I write about will be relatively superficial, because hey, this is a blog, not my diary. But then again, I may very well have something deep and profound to share.
I will say this...I love quotes. I love to read quotes, I love to search for cool quotes, I love to quote quotes. I use quotes to say the things I want to say but don't want to be held responsible for. I use quotes to say things to people who might not know I'm talking to them. I use quotes to talk to myself. I think I'll add a quote to every post. Yeah. I like that.
I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed with much authority by someone recognized wiser than oneself. ~Marlene Dietrich (1901-1992)

Elle If I Know
Blogging.....blog. blog. Say it out loud. Doesn't exactly flow trippingly off the tongue. But that's what I'm doing.
Last year for my birthday, my husband got me a website. ElleifIknow.com. Very clever, n'est pas? Unfortunately, when it comes to web design, I have not the skills to design and maintain my own website, nor especially the inclination to obtain said skills. So, I'm blogging.
ElleifIknow.com was designed as an advice column. Advice is something of which I am never in short supply, so I thought I'd apply that particular skill set to something productive. So instead of the unsolicited advice my friends and family were accustomed to, I would direct my wisdom to those who truly sought it. Until I got frustrated at not being able to change stuff easily. And without a webmaster to arrange things like that for me, elleifIknow fell by the wayside.
Then I started reading Jason Mraz's blogs on MySpace. Then he moved over here, and here I am. I am notorious for only really working on things at which I know I will succeed. (which might also explain my half finished CD of lullabies). But now I'm trying again. I always have something to say, if I can only apply myself to actually typing it out.
I am open to suggestion as to topics. I'm going to try to post things as I think of them. I don't know where this might be going, but at least I'm expressing myself, but also conserving paper. Wow, sharing my thoughts with the world AND being environmentally responsible. I suppose it's the least I can do.
