First (not-so-fancy) Post

Welcome to my blog.  I hope to use it to share my aspirations, inspirations and the quirks of my everyday life, and I invite you to join in the process.  Let's start with the name.  Random yes but it embodies what I love and hope to share here.  Did you ever as a child have a tea party with water or juice?  It became more fun because it was in a pretty cup.  I remember my mom letting us put drinks in her seldom-used wine glasses and that, my friends, became fancy soda pop.  Fancy soda pop refers to the idea that anything, regardless of how plain or average it is can be made to be interesting, enjoyed, and beautiful.
