Welcome to the blogosphere! I'm excited that you have a blog. My tip: post regularly to keep readers interested, and don't spend too much time on it, so you won't feel like it's a chore. Just take 5 min a day to write something you did and we will all love it. You're living in Sweden, which is very interesting to most of us who haven't been there, so your ordinary activities will be fascinating. I'm 1/8 Swedish and would like to visit someday, when the kids are a bit older.
welcome to blogging ! it was great to read this "resume" and exciting to learn more about your life since the last time we saw each other, which must have been, gack, in the 1990s. it makes me happy to get this glimpse into your life now, and i hope we can reconnect in person, sooner rather than later, in the years to come. :)
happy blogging …
ps the "word verification" thing below looks like swedish to me. but then, swedish is, well, all swedish to me. ;)
Hey! You HAVE been busy!
Welcome to the world of blogging! I'm looking forward to reading up on how your life is going!
