drum roll please...

ok, here we go:

Ruthie's 1st official blog post!

I've spent most of the day (don't tell my boss) finding the right background, making a title, picking fonts and gadgets, etc. for my new bloggy blog. Why am I starting a blog? Let me tell you:

•  I think I may have some interesting and/or funny things to write about. I suppose everyone thinks that about their own blog, eh?
• It will provide an insight into the world of the Torres Trio for friends and family living far away (think Mom in Law) or not on Facebook (think Grandma).
  
• It will give Ann one more blog to check on a regular basis.  =)
  
• It will be a nice way of writing about what's going on with me, and Mark and Maddie that isn't limited to Facebook status updates. 

 To give you a taste of what's to come, I plan to blog about the hubby and the kid (of course), school, roller derby, card-making, life as a Navy wife, and general all-purpose rants and raves. I plan to post lots of photos and videos, AND to keep readers coming back, there will be games and gadgets for an interactive experience.

• Feed the fish! They follow your cursor around waiting for you to click them some food.
  
• Play the type-it game! the letters fall faster and faster the higher you get. my high score today was 5605.  I think I stopped blinking there at the end. What's your high score?
• If you're too pressed for time to leave a comment, give feedback through the single click reaction section! love it? hate it? hungry?

Blog on...,
