Hellooo?? Anyone out there???

All right. So I'm here. Turns out this is like a big party you take hours getting ready for and have no clue what to do and who to mingle with when you get there. That's me right now...and not very often me when I get to a party.

So I'll start by stating my case....I'm here mainly because I am going to be travelling soon and find sending people long e-mails about how I'm doing a bit intrusive. Letting my friends know I have a blog will leave them the option of visiting this site whenever they please, and therefore I wont be harassing inboxes with 10k e-mails.

I've read so many blogs and have so frequently been affected by the thoughts of bloggers out there I just happened to stumble upon. Is this how it works? Will I be found on random searches too? Will people read this and move on like I did...take it all in and not leave a comment or two...? Are my posts supposed to be a certain length to keep people interested? hhhmmm

Ok...enough with the questions and on with the self-absorbed qualities required in writing posts. After all, I have to act like I'm an incredibly important and interesting person for ya'll to believe it ;P and leave you wanting more.

I'll stop now...just short of letting you know what you can expect to read here.

I'm newly engaged and on my way to the Persian Gulf. Doha in particular. I didn't misspell Dubai, by the way. Doha is a city in Qatar...and a 45mins flight from Dubai. Work in the glamorous world of publishing is bringing me out there, maybe forever....maybe for a short little while. Who knows? But for now, my future hubby is staying back. *skype much?* The wedding is set for September 2008 in Canada but the details I'll have to plan while in the Gulf. The dress, flowers, decor, invites, transport, guest list, accommodations....and the rest will all be taken care of from an ocean away.

This will be nothing short of a roller coaster ride...emotionally and professionally. Let's see what happens when a girl who fears nothing as much as "settling down" gets ready to say "I do" while trying to prove herself worthy of the dream job she landed....wish me luck!!!
