I don't know what I'm doing.

I really don’t. So just, bear with me here, okay? Please?

My name is Christina. I’m known by many people both on and off of the Internet as Nina. I am a single mom and mother to the most adorable baby on the planet (argue all you want, I will win). I am a native Texan, but I promise you won’t get any of that Texan superiority (well … not a lot. Nothing that should make you do more than the occasional eye roll.).

I went into this whole blogging deal wracking my brain for what I could possibly write about. Seriously, what do I know enough about that I could write an entire blog on it? My life isn’t interesting enough to keep people entertained, and I don’t regularly ponder deep ideas about the meaning of life or try to answer “why is a raven like a writing desk?” I’m not even funny.

In trying to sort that whole thing out, I scoffed to myself and thought, “It would be easier to answer with what I don’t know, which is a lot.” And that’s when it dawned on me. That’s EXACTLY what I’ll write about! This is the perfect premise to a blog! 

Right?

Anyway, so that’s what I’m doing. But I’m not just going to babble, I’m going to make a list of things I know nothing about, then educate myself on them. They could be experiences, ideas, recipes, cultures, states, etc. My plan is to write what I think about these things beforehand, then experience/educate myself and then come back and write on any changes of perception I might have had. I won’t go into the deviant here because GOD FORBID one day my son stumbles across this and reads something like that. So none of that now. And in between the learnings I’ll sprinkle in some pictures of my son, any ponderings that I just might have been, um, pondering, and anything else I feel like.

I’m also going to ask for YOUR opinions on what I should educate myself on. I’m not entirely sure how to go about getting your opinions, though. Do I just put out some options and say “Okay, vote for which one you want me to use” or put a poll? How do I put a poll? CAN I put a poll on here? Or a pole? Or even a Pole? 

Huh. I guess the title of this entry should have been: “Nina Knows Naught about: Blogging”
