My first post!

Well here I am! I find myself on the blogger's highway via the roadmap that was provided by my husband Robert of the Conservative Commentary
(http://conservativeobservations.blogspot.com/ ). I probably will find it hard to be as diligent to my postings as he is but I feel that expressing myself through this venue will be a healthy balance in our household. I have often felt like a blogger's widow. In a meeting with my son's teacher Friday I described Robert as a man with a Masters in BS (lovingly of course). As much as I complain though I am forced to concede that my husband is an intelligent man with the ability to debate his points with an articulation and confidence that is often lacking amoung people I view only as opinionated. I respect his sentiments and convictions even though I often do not completely agree with them. Needless to say this can be extremely frustrating for Robert. My views tend to lean a little more towards the Left Wing Liberal side than he likes. Robert often refers to me as a treehugger (which I consider a compliment) because I spend a lot of time researching recycling efforts and ways to contribute to nature conservation. Often friends comment on Robert and I as the example of "opposites do attract".

I am intrigued by history and architecture. The History Channel is one of the most watched channels on our television. Even my six year old son, David, has inherited this trait from me and we spend many Saturday afternoons feeding our history addiction. Just this past Friday night I sat down to watch "Elizabeth: The Golden Age" and David snuggled up next to me and soon was threatening any sister that got between he and Elizabeth. I might have a young Indiana Jones on my hands.....I can only hope!

Where I will go with this venture I do not know. One thing I am sure of is that my travels on the blogger's highway will surely be an adventure of ever changing scenery. As my title suggest I am a kaleidoscope of thoughts, beliefs, interest and yes personality. I don't fit into catagories very well and tend to be a bit spontaneous. So if you join me on my journey hang on tight because it could be a wild ride!
