The confusion that is Copeland blogging...

Hello friends (and future friends!)

I've been feeling a lot of pressure lately to start a blog, and have been very hesitant to do so. Why do you ask? Honestly, I'm not sure my life is interesting enough to merit having it documented daily on the world wide web. But alas, my sweet husband, has finally convinced me to begin one. This is a selfish move on his part because he is tired of me commandeering his. Even though we don't have a ton of exciting things happening to us on a daily basis, I am all the time saying, "ooh, you should blog about that!" or "why don't you blog about _____ that we did this weekend." Sometimes he obliges me, but most of the time I get the eye roll and a comment about how I should "start my own blog." Thus, "Carmen's Blog of Useless Facts..." is born. If you knew me in school (or know me now) , you'd know that I have an amazing memory for useless facts. I can tell you anything you want to know about Chattanooga, TN. I can sing the lyrics to just about any song that I've ever heard. I know tons of interesting tidbits about the Civil War, urban sprawl, the tourism industry, dog training, house renovation, and I always like to give my input on worship leading. My friends in college used to say that I should write a book called, "Carmen's Book of Useless Facts", but I'm thinking this blog will be the closest thing to that. Also, it allows me to cater the blog to whatever I feel like on any given day. It gives maximum flexibility for my minimum thoughts. :)

I figure that those of you who are interested (why, I'm not sure) in what's going on with the Copelands, you should probably look here first. Scott's blog will probably contain mostly his artsy topics and his occasional rantings about politics and global warming. Enjoy and leave lots of comments!
