So, I've thought about starting a blog for a long time, but honestly, I just really wonder about people when they seem to think they have something important enough to say that it needs to be published on the worldwide internet. Why do people feel the need to basically open up their personal lives and feelings to anybody that would like to have access to them? This is obviously of concern for me (those who know me well can attest to this), because I am generally NOT a very open person. I open up to those people I already love and trust, and hesitate with all others. Seriously, I CAN NOT figure out my personality. Hopefully, this is just a quality that people like about me. I was talking to MacKenzie Lawrence (oh...Ware) the other day about blogs and people who have blogs and she mentioned the fact that her sister (and my sister-in-law) disapproves of blogs. Not like vehemently or anything, but she just has decided it's against her personal belief system and that she won't ever do one, because she feels people with blogs tend to only present their best selves on their blog; their best face forward is only what's shown. I agree with this. But, Brooke...really doesn't everybody delete pictures that have been taken where we look absolutely awful? Nobody wants to see a bad picture of themselves, and certainly wouldn't publish it. As to whether or not people present their REAL everyday happenings of their lives, I'll just say to those people who don't...I don't care about you anyway, and wouldn't read your blog. It's just like talking to people in everyday conversation. If you are fake in person, you are going to be fake on a blog.
Really, this blog is just for me and my close friends. I don't feel the need for this blog to be read by everybody I've ever known in an effort to keep in contact with them. If I wanted to keep in contact with them, I probably would already be doing so. It is just nice to let them know some things that are going on with my life, because sometimes we aren't able to talk weekly. So, I really am going to try to keep this blog posting thing to a weekly routine.
Thanks, friends, for being great people.

I love the blog, as you know Mer! I love them but only when people are telling stories and entertaining. I rarely blog about my mundane life. I try to keep the blog interesting and fun. I think people who have children or are new wed should reframe from blogging because their blogs tend to be on the boring side. Your kids are cute, but I don't need a new pic of the EVERY DAMN DAY, to the newly weds I am happy for your bliss but that apartment is tiny and I don't care what color you made your slave (OOPS! I mean your soul mate and ETERNAL companion) paint that wall! Just my thoughts!
XOXO
