Persuasion and Pasta Salad

After heroically resisting the efforts of my dear friend Suzette to convince me to create a blog I finally broke down and decided to enter the wonderful world of bloggers.  "It is SO much classier than facebook" she argued when I told her that I wanted to stick with my facebook (mind you, it took some persuading for me to create a facebook back in the day too).  I was so sure that I didn't need a blog but after repeated pleas from Suzette (at least twice a day) I was convinced.  We were talking over a yummy meal of pasta salad (which demonstrates the extent of my cooking) and somehow she managed to paint the picture of the wonders of having a blog desirable enough for me to permit her to show me how to do it.  So, here I am writing my first blog and to be quite honest I am kind of excited about it :)
