Closing the blog doors?
So I'm feeling a bit sheepish for ignoring my blog for too long now. I've been wondering why I lack the motivation to blog. Here's what I think. I'm an external processor through and through. If I'm thinking about it, well, its coming out of my mouth. I have to talk things through in order to know what I'm thinking or feeling. Bob knows this by now, that's for sure. So once I've talked something through I feel little need to write it down. I've never kept up with a journal either, and I think that I lack the energy or motivation to write a lot about something I've already talked about.
Another reason, I'm just not funny. I love to laugh and have a good time with people, but generally speaking I'm not a funny person. So my blog's role can't be to make people laugh.
Also, Bob takes care of all the family updates/photos, so my blog doesn't really need to keep the people happy because Bob is already doing such a fine job at that.
So I'm thinking of shutting it down. Unless you (all 3 of you!) can come up with a good reason to keep it going. I guess I could do something like start a recipe blog, I love to cook and love food and love other people's great ideas of what to cook. But that's the only thing I've come up with to keep me going. I know not looking like a winner yet. (hey anyone out there have a good ziti casserole idea? I've just started eating whole wheat pasta and am wanting to make a ziti casserole)
The best reason I currently have to keep it up is so I can remember how many weeks and days pregnant I am. That little ticker comes in handy. I seriously often forget how far a long I am. Though I am getting so much more excited these days for our little girl. We have a name picked out and at first I wasn't completely sure that I loved it, but now, I really love it.
I love reading other people's blogs, seeing pictures of Katie's and Jeannette's babies makes me happy. So I'm sticking around checking, but up in the air about quitting my own. Ok, enough, I'm repeating myself.
(last thing, I lack the time at the computer to keep it up too. If I'm sitting here Caleb is crawling on my legs or under the computer to get me off of it, another excuse!)
