why blog?

here's why, according to me: you get to document super fun, ok, and not so fun, events...similar to journaling, only much easier. things like... your daughter has taken her first steps. that you had the BEST 3 day weekend of all time,including having your hubby tend to your kid and order you to go rest, minus the worst sunburn of your life, but including some fun big girl time with your sister...PEDICURES!!! sweet. or that tater tots might just be one of the greatest foods. it's easier than scrapbooking...and let's face it. CHEAPER! you get to share it all with the 11 people that read your blog. and really, you do it mostly for you, not them. but you love that they check it often and that you can talk about it later. (remember the jeff and jer show...and their 11 listeners.) :) i have been looking back on my blog recently. and i am so, so, so happy i have kept it up. yes, mostly for all the stuff about madi. but really, i am going to try to continue to blog a couple of times a week, if i can. i love it. it can be addicting at times, which i am ok with. 'cause it's a good kind of addiction in my eyes. recently some friends...and ERICA!!! have either started a blog or have re-entered the blogging world. and i just love it. i love the little glimpse into their lives and the stories they tell. love it. thanks blogger. you're such a great friend. so, if you haven't started one yet, come on and get with the program!
