First Post Friday!

My first post wasn't so very long ago. I wrote it last May, but didn't publish it until June or July. The impetus for my blog was to purge all of the crap clogging up my head. I didn't really plan for it to be seen by others, which I guess is weird, but I just didn't have a clue what (and who) would be waiting for me.

Oh, don't get me wrong... I love that people read my blog. I am happy that I can offer comfort or humor or empathy (and the occasional prize) to others.  I have also gained so much from all of you.  I do think I spend too much time complaining and worrying. And sometimes I feel compelled to write for my audience rather than what's on my mind. I would hate to alienate any of you (even more) with the actual garbage that pecks at my brain. Maybe it's that doormat in me, I don't know.

Anyway, here's my very first post. It's strange that I just jumped right in, seemingly in mid-thought, with no preface or intro. But then again, if no one was going to read it, why bother?

So it's time to link up and let us all have a look at your first post. If you really don't want to go there, link up something... an old favorite, one that didn't get too many comments, anything. I've got lots of time on my hands this weekend and I want to get to know you all better.

Honey Mommy said...

I started blogging last year... I haven't even been at it an entire year yet! My first post was about my son's teddy bear, and I never imagined where that post would take me!

Thanks Deb!

Sera said...

I've got a screaming kid just begging (okay, FIGHTING) to go to sleep. Thought I could pop on here real quick. I'll be back later to read your first post!

mommy4life said...

What fun to go back, find and read mine was. I linked it up!

Young Momma said...

I'm going through all these blogs and finding some awesome people!! Off to leave comments. :)

Debbie said...

Mine was in August. Like you, I just started right in like everyone had known me forever. And I wasn't even sure anyone would comment. My first commenter still reads me and comments almost daily! I love this idea. I'll make some new friends, I think.

Tenakim said...

great idea, Deb- I think I've probably read them all- when I first find a new blog, I always go back in the archives and read their first- just to see what they're about. I love this!

Annie said...

My first post was bad.As have many after been! LMAO! :) I linked a first week post and willmake it my blog tomorrow with a second snippet!Cute idea.

Nadia said...

I really liked that post! Sounds a lot like myself. I'm terrible at meeting new people.

My first post was a two liner so I am posting my official first post :).

Kim said...

Your first post is great. Mine, not so much, but I posted it.

Straight to Your Hart said...

Well...I already posted my Photostory Friday..BUT does the old crap on the dresser count..??

I'm signing mr Linky..and why can't it be called Mrs Linky?? Does Mr. Linky have an ego? Sorry..need to go to bed.

Cajoh said...

Unfortunately my first post I edit all the time because it is my Welcome to my blog page. I'll have to look over my other posts to see if there is one I think people neglect.

Unknown said...

I've added my link back to that first tentative post. Only about 143 posts ago.

I had been a reader/follower before I became a blogger.

Hope everyone else has a more interesting first post than me.

Kati said...

Sounds like fun! I added mine and I look forward to reading these!

Piece o' Coconut Cake said...

Great idea! Sometimes I do go back to read if I really enjoy someone's blog (talk about time consuming...)

Former Fat Chick said...

Great idea! Love it :) My first post was in August 2008. Love your blog, hope you like mine!

jori-o said...

Love it! I'm in.

Harlene said...

I'm so glad we stumbled upon each other. I actually think of you as a real person, not someone from cyberspace and I'm so happy you get some alone time this weekend.

I'm looking forward to a full report.

Courtnie said...

That's a good first post. Mine was stupid.

Luke was a peanut! In fact, my mom STILL calls him peanut because of those days. Enyzmes make our world go round :) Seriously.

Scary Mommy said...

What a fun idea! I can't believe that I've stuck with blogging for almost a year- I never thought it would last! My first time here-- it's nice to meet you!

Natalie said...

I just posted my first again... Thanks for the great idea!

Anonymous said...

so much fun and I totally can't believe I haven't read over my first few posts. they made me cry :)

Mammatalk said...

First visit to your blog and here I am jumping in with both feet! Love the idea of taking a stroll down memory lane. My blog began so differently than how it has ended up!

Jenners said...

I think this is such a great idea! I am going to poke around and visit some of these! And I'll put mine up there if anyone is interested. It is fun to see the evolution of blogs -- especially those you get to know really well or have been around or that are now HUGE with tons of followers. What a great idea!

jill jill bo bill said...

Sheesh! I forgot to link earlier today. I am in need of a vacation. You are brilliant for doing this. Just brilliant. And now I headed back to read yours.
