The details

Man, I am having a hard time showing up here lately. That's not to say I haven't been writing. Yay me! Just too much and too crazy unorganized weirdness to post it here. I just can't seem to get in a 500 or even 1000 word shorty that I want to share.

I've also been having this strange 'my life as a blog' moment that makes me a little uncomfortable. Drew and I forgot our camera on our amazing first weekend without the baby and it really made the trip different. I mean we just enjoyed stuff -- didn't have to stop to get that one great shot of the canyon and reflect on the canyon of our life - but just stood and stared, in awe of it in silence for a moment.

It seems I see my days as a microlife, in a series of blog posts: the perfect picture I would take, that great one line I'd end with, and actually choosing to do one activity over another because it would make a better blog post. Ugh. There's even those words I keep saying when I'm with friends, "have you read my blog lately, I actually did a post on it" when talking about my happenings and thoughts so as not to tell the same story again -- or something. Why not just share em, these people are actually live after all?

So, if you haven't noticed I'm taking a little snooze. I'll try to get here as often as I feel called to, so please still visit once in a while! Gosh, I'm no good at commitment. Hey-- that would make a great blog post...

See you soon!

The other day Ella said "quick Mom, take a picture for your blog!" You know it's bad when the seven year old is in it. Microlife. Love it.

Yep, I have the same experiences....I feel very ambivalent about it.

I agree, Latisha. Like it's some kind of "Jon & Kate plus 8" in the blogosphere. My son pitches a fit about something and I tell him "Congratulations, you just gave me a blog entry." Not good.
