It obvious that I need to write, and to do so every day.  Words give thought life everlasting  Far too often are wonderful ideas left with a hiccup or distraction.  It is entirely true that to blog is a vanity project, wherein the order of the day is to permiss, organize, and validate the passing of each day.  I know this pretense is irritating, and has kept my blogs to date short lived.  Lately, I have read enough I like, and found enough missing in what the internet can provide, that there has been an extra push to put out some words with intention.

It is best to begin with the facts in their baldest form.  I am 24 years old.  I have an English degree.  I am a very well trained but ill suited piano teacher.  I am part time manager at a "magical place".  I am a full time mother to one rambunctious egg/spinach/mushroom eating two year old and a wife of almost four years.  I am Ukrainian Greek Catholic.  I love sushi.  I adore window shopping and get warm fuzzy feelings when I buy and sell on kijiji.

Today, this week, last month; I can hardly sum up my life.  Things are in constant flux and I embrace change.  If I must list my current "manias," they include cloth diapering, (diapergenius, cloth diaper sprayers, ubbi diaper pails), positive and careful management strategies, reading to my daughter more every day, adopting a hand washing and line drying regimen for the summer, money management, muffin recipe making, and ECONOMICS in general.  As well, building a strong social community and making socially conscious and responsible decisions, and the practice of asking excellent questions.

I think this is enough to start.  I am expecting a boy September 26th, so let's say 94 days of blogging to go~!

Tomorrow I will start taking pictures of muffins.

PS.  Apparently this is connected to my husband's email address.  I think I will leave it and see what happens...

SECOND GOOF

Well this is starting well...  the name of the blog "Virtuous Cycles" is original, to say the least.  The concept I am interested in is called VIRTUOUS CIRCLES.  Virtuous Cycles is apparently a hipster bike shop.  Ah well, better to correct an error than to give up four paragraphs into this project...
