Another year, another bloggiversary! Would you believe I've been blogging for SEVEN years? Woot!

I started here, where I decided to document my journey as a first-time urbanite living in a colourful 1920's gem of an apartment (I loved that apartment!). It also corresponded with my going solo after seven years of marriage, which means it was quite a journey indeed. Voici, my first every post:

Introducing ...

Hi.

I’ve joined the masses and started a blog. My intent is to document my experience as a first-time urbanite, but I suspect other things might creep in. There will likely be many firsts for me to share this year.

I’ll fill you in on how I got to be an urbanite a little later. Bottom line is: this is my first time living in a truly urban environment, smack dab in the middle of downtown. When given the opportunity a few months ago, I decided to take the plunge and start my own Urban Living Experiment and see where it leads me. I plan to document my findings here, and see where that leads me.

Enjoy.

Incredible, where it all led me.

In-FREAKIN-credible.
