However, I'm not totally giving up. I want to have a blog for my own sake. Sort of an online journal, or a place to stick things that I find amusing. I do that with Facebook, but a blog feels more permanent to me, more "mine". I keep thinking I need to have a theme, and I've even tried that in the past. But, ultimately that becomes tiresome and I give it up. I'm not going to make any promises here. I may write something every day, every week, or throw up several posts in the same day. My subject matter will be all over the place, as well.
My current obsession is restoring/repurposing Goodwill/thrift store finds into something cool and usable. I have a couple projects that I'm going to be starting soon; and I'll share my before and after pics on my blog. I may also write about an upcoming vacation, a tv show I've watched, and the latest drama involving my tweenage daughter and her friends (OMG, the Justin Bieber movie is coming out soon!!).
Something I'm not good at is downloading photos from my camera to my computer. I forget how to do that as fast as I'm shown. I use my iPhone to take my photos, and then blog from my phone. That can be somewhat
The title of this blog is from a Barenaked Ladies song. It was how I was feeling two years ago when I initially set it up, and I find that I still like it today. It was actually a bit of a challenge to get back to this blog; I had forgotten my log-in info and had long since stopped using the email account that I signed up under. But, I did it, and I'm going to stick with this name. Nothing else really works for me, you know? I deleted a bunch of old posts (there were only 13 there), reworked the 25 Random Things entry, and changed the look. For now. I'll be changing things around a lot until I get it tweaked how I like it.
Those who know me know that I was divorced last year, I'm in a committed relationship with another man now, he just bought a house, and we live here with my daughter. My ex and I get along fine, and my son lives with him. We live in the same zip code, and its all good. I'm not going to spend a lot of time filling in the blanks; I'll be posting as if the reader knows what's going on. You'll just have to keep up!
So, that's it for now. Tune in once in a while; I might have just posted something interesting! And, if turns out that you kind of like me, could you "follow" me so others can see I might be ok? Thanks!

I think the thing us bloggers who are just starting out need to think along those lines of "my blog is for me". I have a lot of random thoughts and I tried Twitter for awhile, but I forget about it because I am so obsessed with FB. But blogging is where I can collectively put all my thoughts. I am not in it for anyone else but me. Which if I have read correctly, is what you are doing! I think if we become focused on how many are following and commenting, then we aren't blogging to be cathartic, but more so for attention. So for now, its for me.
That's a good point, Jody. But, its also nice to be recognized, even if we don't think we need it. So, I guess I'm doing this for dual reasons, but mostly for me.
Melissa,
You can post pics via e-mail from your phone...so easy. I'll often just post pics to my blog. Cause really, it's a blog that started to journel my trip to China so most people just wanna see cute Keeghan pictures anyway.
