How I named my blog


So do you remember a few days ago? I told you that Ruth at synch-ro-ni-zing had challenged fellow bloggers to post about how they named their blog. Well...here goes. Warning: This could get a little sappy.


When I first stumbled onto blogger I thought it would be fun to post some pictures to share with my family. 
I wanted to do a blog, but I was really afraid. I didn't know the first thing about blogging. What would I write? What pictures would I put on? What if people saw my terrible punctuation? 
My first choice for a name was my favorite saying. "Ummm...No!", but I decided against it. If I was going to blog, I wanted a name that was a little (or  a lot) less sarcastic.  So I started searching sayings and quotes to get an idea for a name that would describe how I felt creating a blog.
At first, I thought "Going Out on a Limb" was pretty corny. But after really thinking about it, I decided that was exactly what I was doing; Going Out on a Limb. I was going to put myself out there for everyone to see, and correct my grammar.  
On the flip side of that though, I wanted my kids to read, enjoy and hopefully want to do one too. They don't update them, but they all have one now. It's kind of funny. Something I started "for them". Has turned into something I do for me.
So there it is. Going Out on a Limb...hoping to find the fruit, everyday that I blog.


*P.S. So I don't get too embarassed, please forget everything you just read.
