. . . I started blogging back in early 2008 . . . although I had been reading blogs for months and months and months . . .  I really wanted to start a blog prior to the actual day that I did open a blogger account . . . but I was afraid . . . what would I say blog about, would anyone be interested, would anyone care, would anyone actually read me, what would my friends say, what would my family say

. . . my husband knew that I read some blogs, but he didn't have any notion that I really desired my own blog. He pretty much told me that I better not be commenting on blogs (I was not yet) or even think of starting my own blog. So there went my idea of my own blog . . . for months and months.
