The first of many

When you get great advice, it's best to heed said advice. During cocktail hour on Tuesday (at fabulous 26, home of the James Brown soul roll), my friend Phyllis suggested I "buy my name." "Every girl should own her name," she said.
So two days later, I'm the proud owner of http://www.katyharper.com/. I'm still working the bugs out, trying to figure out exactly what I'm doing with regards to creating something from nothing on GoDaddy, but I'm sure the 24/7 toll free number will be put to good use very soon.

What I DO know is what I'm going to write about. I've tried starting blogs in the past, but sat down at the computer without a coherent thought. "I have nothing to write about!" I thought. But today I realized - my problem isn't that I have NOTHING to write about, it's that I have almost TOO MUCH to write about. So I'm going to use this site as a space to organize my thoughts and let you in to my world.

What's it going to be about, you ask? Simple - all the many things I like: baking, knitting, reading, playing guitar, listening to music, working out - what I used to think of as "ditsy" or "flaky," I'm now going to think of as "well-rounded." So that's what this is going include: a glimpse into my seemingly well-rounded life. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I hope I'm going to enjoy writing it.
