Wow…blogging. So many would say, “yeah, so?” My friends would say, “About time girl!” And I’m like…oooooh a shiny new toy. I immediately went to sort it and change it and style it. But my webmaster said to get used to the blogging first.
Well I didn’t listen! I did all the sorting, changing and styling I could. Lucky for all of us that really wasn’t much because I was soooo unprepared for how fast this would all get set up! So I have no pictures…yet! And I’m thoroughly not thrilled with the color scheme and all that jazz. But anyone who knows me won’t be surprised that my first act on my new website is to creating sorting categories for my blogs!
Yes…hello…my name is Heather Barton and I’m a sortaholic. I love the joy of sorting. Well, perhaps it’s not a joy for you but half the fun of buying a new book is putting it into my library and resorting everything to get room for it.
Example…one of my first jobs was at Baskin Robbins (who hasn’t worked there…really!). So on my first day they are showing me where everything is and they have this drawer full of the flavor signs (this was way back when, children, when they used to list the flavors on the walls). I turn to my boss and said, “Oo, can I alphabetize these?”
She, of course, looked at me like I was insane. A look I have become very, very familiar with. And yet she also became my best friend for ten years, another thing that many do, like all the people I meet on airplanes!
