A Severely Neglected Blog

My sister had referred me to her blog recently to read about a blanket she had made for Logan (the recent addition to our family) and so I came to read about it. I knew that my blog had been untouched for quite some time and that I was in the process of copying over previous posts from a former blog that I closed. But geez, my blog has been growing some cobwebs on it for a very long time. And I really do like to blog... a lot! Especially since I don't journal anywhere else anymore (except on scrapbook pages from time to time -- which is also a hobby thats been severely neglected). I guess this is what happens when you get married, get pregnant, have a baby and continue to work full-time. But now that we do have Logan, I would kind of like to keep up with this blog if possible. I hate that feeling that I always need to catch up a journal... but there are really some important events I would like to record about and post.

Keesha, Savanna and Becky: I'm impressed and envious of how good you are at regularly posting! You are my inspiration!!

The Neglectful Blogger

From August 2007
August is really flying by... and what's worse? I haven't blogged in two weeks! (I know... it's really not the biggest tragedy ) And even now I really don't have anything to say. I'm sure there are little tidbits about work, family, friends, or my emotional instabilities that I could write about, but really it all seems blah-zay .

I have a family get-together coming up this weekend, which I'm sure will provide all kinds of material for me to write about and analyze. So till then... happy blogging! (To those of you out there who aren't quite so neglectful.)

The Roles We Play

From 5/19/2007
I changed the title/name of my site last night (Window's Live Spaces). I decided that since I have another blog on my Yahoo 360 page that pretty much logs my daily events and thoughts about them, that I would make this site more about my journey to finding my true self.

I have always been fascinated by human behavior, including my own. And one of the things that I notice quite a bit about myself, is how I tend to change when around different people or in different situations. This is, of course, pretty normal for everyone. For example, when we go to work, we put on our "professional hat". When we are with loved ones, we are hopefully more relaxed and layed back. And for me especially, when I go to church, I'm really reserved and pristeen.

But what I have noticed about myself is that, even from close friend to close friend, I choose to play a different role and therefore act differently. So my big question for myself is: Are all of these roles truly me? Or are some of them an act based on my fear of not wanting particular people to see my weaknesses or the fear of not fitting in? Hmmm... I shall have to ponder on this a while.

Creating My Space

From 5/6/2007
Since I love creating things, I have actually enjoyed spending some time setting up my page. I've added a ton of photos... probably way more than what people are actually interested in, but I just love pictures and I love showing them off! And no, I'm not at all vain (there are tons of pictures of me). I just have a friend that likes to dabble in photography and she takes some pretty good pics.

I've also started to create a favorites list. It's been kind of fun thinking about everything that I enjoy. I think the list could be endless. I'm sure I'll continue to add to it regularly and even delete things that I've lost interest in.

I wonder what other lists I could add? Hmmmm...

I haven't ventured out and viewed too many other's pages here yet, but I've already gained a new friend. And I've had a comment added to one of my pictures. So I hope the interest in my page continues!

Addicted to Blogging?

From 5/4/2007 (First Window's Live Blog Entry)
Ok, so this is my first entry here, but I already have a blog on another site (Yahoo 360). Am I crazy for starting a second? Am I addicted to blogging? I do like to write my thoughts and opinions, but this may be pushing it. I told a fellow blogger and internet friend that maybe I can let my alter ego shine in my blog here whereas my other one tends to stay a bit sweet and censored. We'll see...

POSTING OLD POSTS

I am now ready to post a whole goober-gob of blog posts that started in 2006. They are actually from 2 different blogs I was keeping but have since closed. Why do I feel the need to start new ones and close old ones? I don't know... I'm kind of strange that way. I used to do that with journals too. So, if you're interested in reading about my past thoughts... go for it. As soon as I'm finished copying them into the blog, I promise I'll start writing about my current life and events!

UNDER CONSTRUCTION, PART 2

My blog is getting closer to being up and running. I have finally found a background that I like and actually works right. Some of those backgrounds from the Cuttest Blog on The Block, while very very adorable, just don't work with the formatting for some reason. And because I like everything to be just so.... and I'm soooo dang picky... it's taken me forever. I still wish I could manipulate the fonts more. They really do just need more choices for fonts :)

I also still really want to somehow copy my old yahoo blog onto this one (and then close that one). That's a whole adventure in itself. I don't care for yahoo's blog much anymore and would like it all to be in one place. I have some really cool scrapbook pages in that one with photos, etc.

So, as the construction continues and the dust settles just a bit, my blog is starting to come together. Yay!!

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

I seem to always be starting new blogs! I think I must be fascinated by them or something. Or maybe I just like to see all my thoughts in print. I kind of process things better that way. It's like therapy or something. (But I really didn't just admit that I need therapy!) Seriously though, I do have some pretty cool blog entries on what once used to be called Yahoo 360. And then they changed into something else, plus I've been a bit neglectful in my blogging over the past year, and would like to pick it back up.

ANYWAY, to stop rambling so much, which I tend to do, hence the name of my blog... I want to transfer my yahoo entries to this one. I noticed I have some family members blogging on blogspot and it would be cool to join them. I'm afraid, however, that it might just take me a while to complete all that transferring. After doing just a tiny bit of research, I think I've discovered that I'm going to actually have to cut and paste what I want to keep.

Whew - lots of work ahead! Therefore this site is officially declared "Under Construction" until I can figure it all out.
