April Fool

[Here's my blog first entry on April 1st 2012!  Even if this is all I put down I can at least say I finally have a blog.  (Perhaps I am the last person on Earth to start one but better late than never.)]
The first day of April resembles the first day of February in that it is cold, windy and rainy.  I lit a fire to keep warm while doing the crosswords this morning.  This is no joke.  It really is cold enough for a fire.  I had really wanted to go off in a different direction for this blog entry (being the very first and therefore groundbreaking) but I'm cold, wet and tired and all I can think to say is that the weather stinks.
Seriously, I would like this blog to be the beginning of a new era in adventuring (my adventuring, not anyone else's idea of adventuring... let other people cross the poles on skis or circumnavigate the globe in hot air balloons...).  Maybe there will be some sort of adventure that takes me to a warmer, sunnier climate so I can focus on things besides the weather?  Until then I will catch up on life on the shores of suburbia (such as it is) and bitch about the weather (because that's what you're supposed to do in Suburbia, right?).
If you stumbled across this blog thinking it may be for inventors I'm sorry to disappoint.  It isn't about inventing.  My brilliant ideas usually involve some sort of crazy scheme that does nothing to improve the lives of those around me but rather end up being a funny story given enough time. 
Most (if not all) of my past exploits began with someone uttering those words:  "Hey!  I've got a brilliant idea..."  I'm sure that's how people ended up crossing the poles on skis and circumnavigating the globe in a hot air balloon, too.
Current living conditions being on the banks of suburbia (not quite in suburbia itself because our address actually ends with the name of a well known major city but suburban enough to have the name of the local mall as our street name... that's classy!) came about with a "brilliant idea."  I must say that I went willingly and here I am.  Maybe this foray into banality is an adventure in itself?  Whatever it is, here I am and I will survive here until I get away.  I'm not a suburban kinda gal but it's reality, baby.  Really, things could be worse.  I could actually be in a suburb of where I am now!  in any event, I am going to blog away about whatever strikes me and those who know me can follow along.  To anyone unfortunate enough to stumble on this who doesn't know me but chooses to keep reading, let me just say that there are plenty of books out there that are much better written and provide for an actual escape from the drudgery of daily life.
