Why did I start a blog?

I've been toying with the idea of a blog for some time now and finally did it.  Not sure what I'll do with it, except that I need an outlet for some of the stuff roaming around in my mind.  Someone recently described "a blog" to me as "an online diary"... no, I will not use this a diary, I write stuff in my diary that you wouldn't want to read!  just kidding.  I will definitely share some of what goes through my mind, what happens in my life and I will share pictures of my self-prescribed therapies:  baking, cooking and greeting cards (stamping).  I will also share with my adventure in being a single mom living in a 7-year-old boy's world and dipping my toes in the dating world.  No promises of intellectual chatter or life-changing information, just a glimpse into my mind and soul.
