My First Time!

Ok, so this is my first blog entry on my own site. Yes, I've guest blogged numerous times on my friend's blog, who is absolutely amazing (check our Margarita at: http://www.smoresandmargaritas.blogspot.com/) , about relationships and gender specific topics. I have never professed to know the absolute truth about anything, but 'Elle' truth is another story. In my life I've learned a few things in relation to girls and guys that I just feel compelled to share occasionally. Usually I'm from the camp that thinks it's best to tell people what they want to hear and then go do whatever you want, but with my blog I think I'm going to do and say exactly what I want 100% of the time simply because I can.
It's scary though because having your own site is like having your own child or pet, which at this point in my life are one in the same to me. You're a little more careful about what you say and how you treat it because it's simply your own. I might slightly nudge someone else's puppy who is beyond annoying- getting their dog hair all over my new DKNY pants and licking my Marc Jacobs bag. Did the owner really think I wanted to walk around looking like a hairball and smelling like dog breath? However, if I had my own puppy I would probably let it sit in my bag and if anyone dared kick it, I would proceed to escort them out of my apt with a swift kick to the behind. When something is your own it requires more responsibility, but the funny thing is that care is effortlessly put forth out of love. As such, I'm going to probably treat my blog like a new puppy...I'll probably forget to feed it once in a while and that I left it at home while on my way to spending a weekend in the Hamptons with friends but please bear with me. I will eventually get this right :-) xoxo Elle

Haha! You have the best metaphors EVER.

Blogs are like practice for children. If u can at least work at maintaining one, the other will come more easily, right? There's hope!

Thanks for the shout-out!

Congrats on starting a BLOG! I had no idea you just started; reading the other post about the cons made it seem like you've been doing it for years! You're a natural.
