"Do You Blog?"

"Do you blog?" This question was asked of me by a co-worker a few months ago during one of our breaks. After he asked, I looked at my feet (they looked normal), turned around to try and see my rear end in the mirror (looked big but normal, I guess), tried to smell my arm pits (they too seemed okay). So then I had no choice but to answer, "I don't know -- do I BLOG?" He acted like that was the first time he had heard something funny in his life.
So after a little explanation of what a blog actually was I began to investigate. I realized that many of the women on a message board I visit (2Peas) actually have blogs. That began my little obsession. I would wait until Scott would be asleep and I would start clicking on all the links and reading about these people's lives in their blogs. At first, I wouldn't admit to anyone that I actually was intruding on these people and their personal lives. It did seem a bit nosy of me to be reading about these people I don't really know. Then I realized that if everyone was doing it and they were posting on the World Wide Web then they intented for people to read it.
So I confessed my little obsession to my dear sweet husband and his response was "Well honey, why don't you get one of them too." "I wouldn't want you to feel left out!" So this is why and how I started blogging. I wish I could read my kids or my sisters blog too, but unfortunatly they don't have one. Like my sister told me one day, "I really like reading what you write. I like to see what you really think and feel about things and what goes on in that little head of yours." Well, that's exactly how I feel. I wished I could get to know my children and sister a little better. Maybe one day I'll actually know someone personally who has one and then I can stop reading other peoples blog and feel like I'm an intruder.
