What's in a name

I have another reason for calling my blog "Note To Self", besides it being my so called catchphrase. If no one reads this thing, it may literally end up being a bunch of notes I'm writing to myself. How embarrassing would it be if no one wants to read it? So far I only gave one person the URL and I'm debating whether or not I'm going to post the link on Facebook. I'm going to give her a chance to read the first post and give me her honest feedback. If she thinks it's awful, it may stay our little secret. We made an honesty pact, to be truthful with each other about our blogs. So far, hers have been really good, so I'm waiting to hear what she thinks about my first attempt. Hopefully my Notes To Self will reach a slightly wider audience. My ambitious goal would be to have 5 people admit they've actually read it. Do you think I'm aiming too low? What should my goal be? It feels like I'm running one of those telethons; please call, operators are standing by. Or in this case, please click, we're here 24/7 and your comments are welcome.

If I had spent a little more time figuring out how this website works, I would have caught on to the fact that I could go back to my first post and simply edit it to include what's in this post-that would have made more sense. But it's late, or early, depending on your perspective, and my brain just isn't functioning that well. And so I got 2 posts out of it, but I learned something for future use. Sometimes I can be rather flaky, which you'll no doubt discover if you'll take the time to read these notes I write to myself.

P.S. If you ever have the opportunity to see my cubicle at work, it's covered with post-it notes full of reminders of things I need to do. Post-its are on the actual desktop, on the edge of the monitor, on papers tacked up to the walls, etc. So it turns out that the name of my blog may be even more appropriate than I originally thought. I don't know what I would do without post-its, though!
