Hello!!  My name is Donna, aka Yellow Jeep Blonde, for lack of a better nickname since I’m not terribly creative.  I’m more of the nerdy type than the creative type.  And since I am more nerdy, I’m taking on the task of creating my own site.  I started blogging in February 2006 on MSN Spaces.  And while Spaces has been good to me and while I’ve made several really good friends there, I thought I’d see what I could do on my own.  You know – the nerd thing again.

This thing is only in its beginning stages – a little green. . . .well, blue as it is right now.  That will probably change in time.  I’ve got a lot to learn and a lot I’d like to do here and am learning as I go.  Suggestions, ideas, tips of any kind are ALL welcome.  In fact, please.  Anything creative especially.

Let’s see.  Who am I and what is this site all about?  Basically I’m a cross between a beach bum and a computer nerd with a fondness for the sun, margaritas and cold beer.  Not necessarily in that order.  I have two grown boys whom I adore and like to feed every chance I get.  Funny how I didn’t really enjoy cooking so much until they grew up and moved out.  Now I lure them over with the likes of a home-cooked meal whenever they’re free.  I’m not ashamed to admit bribery.

I drive a yellow Jeep Wrangler because it’s fun and it sorta fits me, I think, AND it’s a blast on the beach! 

The beach is my favorite place to be.  The sun, the beach, the cold beer. . . my idea of the perfect vacation day.  Other than that, I’m on the computer.  My job.

So I have a picture of the beach I go to in North Carolina (a hop, skip and a jump down the road) and a picture of the Jeep.  Now I need to get a picture of the Jeep ON the beach.  If I could afford the gas to go down there.

Well this is just the beginning.  I’m learning how to use my new camera (I never dreamed that it would be this complicated) and how to use Photoshop (which is freakishly difficult so far).  Plus I plan to take pictures of my food – my other favorite thing besides the beach.  I’m a freak about recipe books and love to cook and share.  Basically, this site will be me sharing all the stuff I’m learning how to do to fill my free time now that my kids are grown and I’m not running willy nilly at wharp speed. 

Feel free to leave me a comment (or two) with your ideas and suggestions.  I need creative input in a BAD way!!!  Help me!!
