So this is it. My very first "blog." Isn't it funny how you think you have so much to say and when you go to say it, you are left speechless. I don't understand it. Anyway, a bit about me, I guess, is the appropriate way to begin this thing called "blogging."

I am married, with two cats, and in grad school for Library Science (I know what you are already thinking - crazy cat lady librarian - but at least give me a chance, eh?). Technically, I am not a librarian yet, just a librarian in training. And believe me, the face of librarianship is changing. Anyways, who says your job defines who you are? If that were so, then what would you be? (Food For Thought...) Maybe I would be either a Children's Book Illustrator or a Travel Guide Writer, maybe even an Interior Decorator, Master Gardener, or a Costume Designer (who says I can't dream?!?). But alas, I draw as well as I dance (Bill Cosby Style or even "Elaine" from Seinfeld) and I fear writing "professionally," not to mention that I despair in constructive criticism. So, I guess one could say that being a librarian is almost a means to an end. This way, I can do all of those things that define me without the pressure of permanence. I wonder if this is a rational thought process...

Other Suzy tidbits: I like to sing really loud in the car when I am alone; my favorite colors are still my childhood faves - pink and purple; my cats play fetch with me with balled-up post-it notes; I have an extensive PEZ collection; my favorite sculptor is Rodin; I have "shy moments;" my favorite flower is the blue himalayan poppy - but I've never actually seen a real one; I am a list maker so I can feel like I accomplish things; I don't like coffee or fishy foods; and when I sweat, I get a sweat-moustache (grrr). These are all pretty revealing things, yes, but I think that honesty is the best hook for a reader. Are you hooked yet? Well, stay tuned for more then.
