It's Just Me!

I could sit here and type all day about the experiences in my life that have made it amazing, but let's face it ... that would be awfully boring.  Instead, I am going to only tell you about why I have decided to start this blog and then spend the next, oh I guess 100 blogs, telling you about ME!

I have friends that say I am funny.  I have people who say that I am a good writer.  "They" have encouraged me to write a book and I have decided to start with a blog.  I figure that if I can't keep this up it will be a good indicator that I shouldn't ever quit my day job to write a book.

I settled on a title for a book a long time ago, Single in the Country, but when I went to title my blog just that, someone else had stolen it.  My first thought was OH MAN, I thought I was an original, but once again that is not true.  The fact that this other person also lives in a small town of about 700 people and moved there to find herself AND true love made me guess that I don't have the single in the COUNTRY mindset as much as I thought.  So with that being said, I had to rename my blog and the credit belongs 100% to my friend, Bill "Princess" Johnson ...

Bill and I have known each other for a very long time.  We met our first year of college (he says it wasn't until our 2nd year, but as usual he is wrong and I AM RIGHT!) and he is just one of those people that you want to either be around or make fun of the entire time you are together.  For me, it is a combination of both.  Anyway, he started a blog a long time ago and titled it Out of November because that is when he was born.  I asked him the other day if I could borrow his title and name my blog Out of April since that is my birthday month and when Sherylpalooza starts and he could barely contain his excitement as he was telling me yes, yes, yes you can!

So here I sit with just a short start to what I hope is a fun endeavor into the wonderful world of writing.  I will be seeing you guys on the flip-flop (that comes from my very funny nephew who doesn't take nothing off the mean kids on the bus).

:o)
