Last week a coworker of mine said that I should write a book detailing the “interesting” things I do in my life. From what I could tell, this wasn’t an attempt to get me to stop talking to him so he could get some work done that morning. We’d been chatting about my latest project, eating on a food stamp budget, which I will get to more later.

So, I’m starting up a blog to organize my thoughts on various topics. I’ll probably write about travels, thoughts on social issues and politics, craftiness, my family (including my new hub-o Scott and the cat, Luke).

Some things I’d like to do in the next couple of weeks:

  • Learn more about $21 Food Stamp Challenge as I go through it myself (check out this NPR article)
  • Blog mission statement (summing up my thoughts on blogging and what this should be about)
