Then I remembered the blog. Brad had suggested a year ago I start a blog to keep our family/friends updated. Makes perfect sense right? We're newlyweds living in Alaska and it'd be nice (not to mention polite) to keep everyone in the loop... Well no offense friends/family but I'm kind of reclusive. I've improved somewhat; I carry my cell with me almost all the time now and I've started checking my email, but I'm still really bad at "staying in touch". Anywho, I did as he suggested... half assed. A post consisted of picture and 1 or 2 sentences next to it. Actually, I think I made Brad do all the updating, and I did it when he told me to. Point is.... epic fail on my part. Sorry people.
Brad likes to say I never fully commit to anything 'til it's MY idea Well now the blog is my idea. So I decide to do it, I log in, and blank.
What am I supposed to write about???
So I started perusing other peoples blogs for some inspiration I guess. It seems like most people fall into the category of artsy-fartsy (photographers, cardmakers etc), moms/housewives who use blogging to share pictures of their kids and family stuff, and advertisers. I haven't exactly found my niche yet. I might say I want to post my opinions, but I don't have opinions on anything important; none worth sharing anyways. I don't really do anything either. Especially with Brad gone. I'm boring. And I'm lazy, I don't even enjoy writing.
When I really think about this, I realize I have no sense of organization or purpose in any aspect of my life; I am the definition of carefree. I don't live my life based on a theme, so why would I expect my blog to be any different? This is going to be the most random collection of thoughts and pictures but it will hopefully be a fairly accurate representation of who I am.
Well, I do know now that you are an excellent writer. I look forward to hearing more.
