Thanks for coming!
Is it just me or does everyone feel a little daunted by change?
I've written a column for the Sunshine Coast Daily for seven and a half years.
The very first post on this blog is in fact the last ever daily column.
It made me a bit sad to leave the daily and I'm not sure exactly where I'm going with this blog, but thanks for coming to check it out anyway.
I promise to write as often as possible...quite possibly, it will just be to share boring bits of information about my life....but I'd love to see you here.
There's a bit down the bottom where you get to write to me. And if there is anything in particular you'd like to see on this site...just let me know.
For instance, I had a murder mystery party at my house last Saturday night, and I was thinking I might post the photos, just to give the lady who ran it a plug.
Her name is Jennifer Rousset by the way, from JR Productions. You can call her on 0418 778 444.
Our murder took place in a luxury Spanish Hotel and involved everything from a french chef to a Brazilian masseuse and a Carribean cocktail waiter - heaps of laughs and some bloody awful accents.
However, I'm not entirely sure how to do that yet (had a lesson on blogging at kook media yesterday...might have to go back for a refresher...) so if you want to see the photos, stay tuned!
But change is a good thing isn't it? Once you get your head around it.
I never would have thought I'd be 'blogging' (that is a really wanky word isn't it?)!
I have always been a technical illiterate. And you know what? It's not my fault!
My crazy Aunt has a theory that children born between 1973 and 1980 are from the lost city of Atlantis (I'm not joking, that is truly what she believes) and apparently they were pretty technical in Atlantis.
Therefore, she says poor little 1968 babies like me were pushing it uphill from the start, we're just not as pre-disposed to computing as our peers....
And I have to admit I don't do anything to discount the theory. For about two years I got John (my husband) to send my emails for me, refusing to take five seconds to find out how to click on 'create mail' and 'send'.
When I finally gave in and had a lesson I was pretty embarrassed, but that's me. I would rather get something wrong 10 times through trial and error than sit down once and be told how to do it, or god forbid actually read instructions or watch a 'how to' dvd!
But look at me now????
Anyway...this is all I've got for now. If you've got a crazy theory...I'd love you to tell me all about it...just click down the bottom of the page...if you want to see photos, let me know that too, because I don't want to be too down home and daggy with this thing...so let me know the minimum 'Caroline overload' before you start to gag!!!!
Thanks again for coming.
Love me

Glad to see we'll still be able to read your words of "wisdom", Caroline...
I'm not much interested in blogs that go on about "today's shopping expedition, followed by the big hairdressing event" – but you do manage to put an unusual spin on all that you write... and that's a good thing!
Have a great day...
Caroline, the very best artists turn every day life into masterpieces. You create that beautifully. Congratulations, love Jubbly xox
Well I so very sad that you left the Daily, even tho you told me why. I though that I would still give your replacement a go. I'm sorry Jamie but you just don't cut it. Small paragraphs of whinging just don't have the humour of "Is it just Me" This is not sour grapes, I have been a Jamie Dunn and Agro fan for more than 20 years,he is a great 'Mouth' but Caroline, you are the entire package. p.s. For comparision read both of your 'Nit" stories.
