Help!! I'm Talking and I Can't Shut Up!

I have been a "hold-out" on the blogging for a little while now... Yes, I've attempted to blog before, but never with much conviction. I'd post one or two pictures with a few lines here or there, but preferred to tell most of my daily stories to my friends & husband in person or over the phone.

Well, that has changed... my wonderfully wonderful husband (in all seriousness he's fantastic) informed me not too long ago that I "talk too much." HUGE shock huh? I always thought he found my stories, quips, & general observations on everything from the length of the girl on the streets shorts to the price of cotton in China to be as riveting as I did! Apparently, I was slightly mistaken. So that led me to wonder, if this man who has pledged to spend the rest of his life with me, have children with me, and sleep next to me every night thinks I talk too much then I wonder what everyone else thinks?!?

After pondering that thought for a bit, I made a drastic life change. I decided not to talk as much. I would be mysterious & alluring.... not give away too much in conversation.... leave him (and others) curious about my thoughts, wishing for more. THAT lasted about 5 minutes, until I remember something I just couldn't keep to myself. I will readily admit, my husband is RIGHT. You'll not find me saying that very often, so I'll repeat it once more. MY HUSBAND WAS RIGHT!!

I do talk too much.... I talk to my kids, my dog, my husband, on facebook, my mom, random strangers in the WalMart line, even to MYSELF. I just can't stop talking. I think that's why I went into teaching..... I get to talk ALL DAY LONG, and to sweeten up the deal, there are 20-something small children who by law have to show up and listen to me talk! I get giddy just thinking about it. :)

But since I know that not everyone wants to know every detail of my day, every funny thing I saw, did, or thought, I have decided to give blogging one more try.

Because seriously, if I can drive my own husband nuts with my never ceasing verbal diarrhea, Lord only knows what harm the rest of the world has wished my way.
