What Now???

I've been inspired by my book group bloggers.

OK, I went to the blogger website and followed the directions. So here I am. It's telling me to start posting. I have a feeling this isn't going to be very interesting, but since I haven't written in my journal for a year, this might get me going.

Now for pictures, this might me a little trickier. Hmmmm...

Well, let's forget pictures for now, I might need a little help with that one!!

I'm just going to start my blog with my list of 100 things about me. Might take me a few days, but here goes.

1. My husband and all my kids have blue eyes, hence the name of my blog.
2. I'm 5'10" tall and have been since 7th grade.
3. In 6th grade I was the tallest kid in the entire elementary school (and taller than almost every teacher.)
4. This made it really easy to be the star of the 6th grade basketball team. All I had to do was stand under the basket and shoot and rebound my own shot over and over until I scored (sometimes it would take me 4 or 5 shots, but I sure racked up the rebounds.)
