<p>I have to admit I never thought I would blog again. Don&#8217;t get me wrong I wanted to; matter of fact less than two years ago I even talked to <a href="http://seriousaboutcamo.typepad.com/">Clay Newton</a> about it. Hell, I even got so jazzed that I set up a <a href="http://kellytirman.vox.com/">Vox</a> account and then&#8230; (fizzle). I never posted a single thing. At that time I convinced myself that I didn&#8217;t need to &#8220;blog&#8221; mostly because I remembered all the very good reasons I stopped blogging in the first place:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>My family hated me:</strong> it not a good idea to talk trash about your family on your blog; especially if you are young, stupid and rude. Believe it or not you may hurt your mom&#8217;s feeling and seriously regret what you wrote later.</li>
<li><strong>No one would date me:</strong> sure at first it might sound like a turn on to have your love life read like a soap opera but guys have sensitive egos and remember I was young, stupid and rude.</li>
<li><strong>I am not a good writer:</strong> although I have always hoped to improve this weakness I haven&#8217;t; so go ahead grammar queens don&#8217;t hold back feel free to call out all the typos and improper usage in the nice &#8220;comment&#8221; section.</li>
<li><strong>It just took too much freakin&#8217; time:</strong> It did! Back in the day we didn&#8217;t have this fancy blog software. Hell it wasn&#8217;t even called a blog; we called it a website and we actually had to know HTML.</li>
</ol>
<p>So less than two years ago; I decided I would feed my social bug via <a href="http://twitter.com/kellytirman">Twitter</a>, Facebook and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/kellytirman">Flickr</a>. This had suited me just fine until last Friday when the company I work for launched <a href="http://www.elevenmoms.com">www.elevenmoms.com</a>. As a result, I spent the entire weekend reading mommy/daddy blogs and suprised myself by finding a wealth of information I had been craving.</p>
<p>So here I go again &#8211; attempting to blog. Now that I am married (five years this month) and trying to start a family; I hope to no longer be stupid or rude (young is another story).</p>
