So first facebook...and now a blog. I was so resistant and then my resistance slowly crumbled. I was almost becoming a social paraiah for my lack of facebook and blog. It was almost like I was riding around in my buggy, being driven by my faithful horse Nan, with my hoop skirt blowing in the breeze.
I have known for a while that bloggers are having better a better life than I am. I lurk on my friends' blogs and see grand vacations, moments of domestic bliss, goals charted and made...I wanted to be one of the many who had a dandy enough life that people would want to read about it. Well, I don't. And I'm not going to. I am OK with mediocrity. I will cover the uncharted territories of blogs. I can celebrate that I remembered to get the recycling out. I will post about that oil change! I will turn Chinese food take out Fridays into a black tie affair on my blog!!
Special thank you to Miss Sarah G. for pushing me over the edge. She told me I can apparently turn my blog into a book using a site called blurb. I checked it out and I once again find Sarah to be the most indispensable of friends. This book deal gets rid of the need to scrapbook and write in a journal. Hopefully this venture kills my Mormon guilt....
Welcome to the world of blogging! I think blogging about a boring life makes it feel more exciting. At least, that's the way I feel about my life. I wanted to tell you too, I think of you every time we drive through Harrisburg and see signs for Bloomsburg.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I have often thought, Jamie needs a blog, she is such a good writer. And how happy am I that you fulfilled my wishes. and I think everyone's life is just as boring/exciting as the everyone elses, its just how you look at it. Chinese food on friday nights can indeed become a black tie affair!
ReplyDeleteMediocrity?!? I wouldn't dare say "Jamie Leavitt" and "mediocre" in the same sentence. I'm so glad you've joined the world of blogging!
