Something's Brewing

Something’s brewing.

Ever since I made my first blog post, my mind has been over-flowing with ideas for posts. While running each morning, I think about all the things I want to write about on this blog. It is exciting to think that on this blog I can write about whatever I want. (Notice the title of the blog-it’s not an accident-I can “yak” about whatever I want to “yak” about. And FYI, I did google “yakity-yak-yak,” and I know it is supposedly spelled with an “e”, but I like “i” better, and besides, is “yakity” really a word anyway? And it’s MY blog-remember? It can be whatever I want it to be including its name. And one more note regarding said blog’s title: since it was a convo with Corinne that inspired this blog in the first place, I thought that my name spelled backwards would be most appropriate, since she and I discovered this cool thing-that my name spelled backwards is “YAK”- years ago. And what made this discovery even cooler was the fact that MY name spelled backwards was actually a word and HERS wasn’t. This “evened” things out a bit because her name was “longer and harder to spell” which, in my mind, made it “cooler,” but then the discovery of “YAK” kinda “evened the playing field” and made things “fair” in the name-category. (“Fair” was a HUGE issue between Kay and Corinne as children) But I TOTALLY digress…. But …..I can do that on my blog! Aw, I love it! ) I have kept a journal faithfully since I was a little girl. (I now have almost an entire bookcase full of journals all the way back to the 70’s.) However, I love that this blog has “no rules.” I am not obligated to record each event of every day/week or to make sure that my posts are “posterity worthy” or filled with the same uplifting stories/spiritual insights as those beginning with “I, Nephi having been born of goodly parents.” (Although I CAN write those types of things if I CHOOSE!) Instead, I can write about things that interest me, thoughts and ideas that I want to explore through writing, and well…just whatever: EXHIBIT A: The long parenthetical blog-name explanation above. So watch out. I just might post again, and even if I don’t, just know I have composed some AWESOME posts in my mind.
