FINALLY

Be warned - this post will not be well written nor will it be concise. I promise that this is not a preview of what's to come :) 
           I have wanted to start a blog for probably the last year. I suppose I have technically had one for the last three years, but I wrote through myspace ( www.myspace.com/srhouston ). I went to college late and, as a result, acquired many younger friends who I kept up with post-graduation via myspace. I have found enjoyment with myspace but I feel like my audience is a bit narrow. I've wanted to widen the population of people who read my thoughts. So why haven't I done this before now? I couldn't' figure out what to name my page. 
           I know - how silly is that? This is just a little insight to how my mind can get tripped up on such minute details when I write. I have been known to put off college research papers for WEEKS because I just couldn't get one sentence quite right. This perfectionism is a disease and this blog is my way to get over it. 
I don't know if I like the title. It may change. In reality, how important is the friggin' title? I just want an outlet to share my crazy ideas. The URL was pretty easy and I have to give credit to my "sisters" in Arizona for that name. Ann & Rhonda took my family and me under their wing while we lived in Phoenix. They ruined us - we now know that no matter where we live, we will never have neighbors as wonderful as them again. They have personally helped us out through so many difficult times and helped us create many fantastic memories of our time in the southwest. Their name for me is "Soul Sister Sara". I like it. It stuck, hence the URL. 
        I am just pleased that I have finally carved the time to get this little pet project underway. Now, I just have to figure out how to format the page to look the way I want it to :)
