Watching Oreo

I'm sitting here watching Oreo scratch and sniff around the cardboard box he stays in while he gets his cage cleaned. It's been a month of Sundays since that last happened. When Jared asked if he could get a hamster he swore he would take good care of it - he would keep it well fed and keep its cage clean and tidy. HA! What a joke. I can't believe he has had the nerve and gall to ask for a puppy. That's an eleven-year-old boy for ya.

Now the little rodent is sitting in his food bowl. How smart is that? I'll take his picture and then take a crack at loading it into this entry. If it doesn't work- sorry. I am so new to this blogging stuff.

Okay, that wasn't so hard. It worked.

I haven't blogged in a few days and the fact that I am sitting here discussing the antics of a hamster in box should tell you that not much is, or has been going on. No news is good news, or so the old saying goes ...

So I'm a Blogger Now ...

I suppose it took me long enough to start blogging - officially that is. I already have an electronic journal but that one is for my eyes only. So why did I start this one? Not sure but I suppose it will be a way to share some of my thoughts and insights with my friends, family, and the rest of the world - "some" being the operative word.

Whoever decides to check this out, I suppose will have to go to "totallydacy.blogspot.com" I guess. They may wonder why I chose that name for my url. Well, it's a little known fact that when I was a little girl my father used to call me TracyDacy. Nobody else in the whole wide world has ever called me that and to be honest, it's been ages since my father has. But I like it. It's kind of quirkly and fun, but mostly it's special because my dad called me that. And that is the story behind the name of my url.

The story behind the name of my blog, Life etc., is just that I plan to use the blog to commentate on life and other stuff - you know, the etc.

And there you have it. The beginning of my blog.
