Welcome!

Hello World. (You techie types will get the joke). :)

After vowing for years that I would never have a blog because my life wasn't interesting enough, I've finally bitten the bullet and joined the blogosphere. I'm not sure what I'm going to talk about, but I suspect I'll discuss events that are going on in our lives and in the world and issues that are near and dear to my heart. I chose the title "heather's mewsings" since I'm a cat lover and I liked the play on words.

My favourite hobbies include: reading, cross-stitching and watching movies. This year, so far, I've read 16 books. I try and read mostly non-fiction rather than fiction. That being said, I've just finished reading all seven Harry Potter books, but I'll discuss those another time. I'm currently reading, "The Civil War - A Narrative" by Shelby Foote. It's a three volume work on the (you guessed it) U.S. Civil War (1861-1865). As you may have gathered, I love history.

As mentioned above, I'm a stitcher. It's the only craft that I'm any good at. I'm sure I'll post some pictures of my works in progress (WIPS) and completed projects infrequently. I also expect to post movie reviews, since we have a pizza/movie night at least once a week.

So, here's to the first of many posts. I hope you'll check in frequently. I'm not sure how often I'll post, but I'll try and post regularly.

I welcome your comments and feedback. That way I know people are actually reading my posts.
