Never Say Never

So I hate to bring out the old "never say never" term, but I honestly thought I'd never start a blog. Maybe you care, maybe you don't but my reasons are many and since Brooks is with Debby, and Emma's home sick from school watching her 655th episode of Hannah Montana, I'll give them to you:

1- I hate it when people say, "Didn't you check my blog?" Now friends, you know I love you even if you have uttered these words to me before, but contrary to recent rumors, I do have a life outside of my computer and I don't always have time to sit around & check people's blogs. Especially since there's ebay ok.

2- I am forever forgetting my damn user names and passwords for these things. Write them down you say? Well I do, but it doesn't really help when I've got 28 other pass codes and names written all over the same sheet. I don't know which is which and I certainly don't have time to organize them, especially when my ebay auction is about to end.

3- I have a slight tendency to obcess about things, the same reason why I despise scrapbooking. It takes me 5 hours to complete one side of a page. Should I put the die cut in the left corner? What font should I use for the word baby? and so on. It's all so bloody miserable. I'm afraid it's what will happen here but I'm going to try to control myself.

4- I loathe when people mask their real life on blogs or they just have a blog to tell you how great they are. I guess who am I to judge, right? And maybe you do spend your whole day dreaming of your husband or crafting with your children, but I personally would rather hear your meaningful stories or memories and the little lessons that life teaches us on a regular basis. Listen, I don't expect you to blog all your worries and problems either, and I do appreciate the occasional I'm-a-busy-mom-gripe-and-moan session, but if you're June Cleaver, please leave me off your list.

I won't make you suffer the details as to why I actually decided to make a blogspot but let's just say a dear friend told me that I could print & catalog these blogs yearly, so it's like having a journal and scrapbook in one. I haven't heard anything better since the whole Champ Bailey/Portis trade. In conclusion, I promise to never ask if you've looked at my blog and I apologize in advance if my blogging turns into really annoying journal writing. It's the closest thing my children will ever get! Also, if you frown upon a sporadic written cuss word, I don't recommend you check back (see quote in pink on the right) :-)
