Bad Blogger...

...bad, bad, blogger! You've let 2 months go by without writing a word! Now sit your butt down at the keyboard and write something! It doesn't have to be profound. It doesn't have to be funny. But you started this blog because you like to write...so WRITE!

Ok,Ok, I'm writing! Get off my back! I was lazy, I admit it. There were thoughts in my head and things to write about but I'd sit down and thing "Bleehhh" maybe later. To tell you the truth, one of the obstacles holding me up is my audience. If your mother, daughter, ex-wife, neighbor, boss, cousin, best friends, and girl friends can all peak into your head it definitely limits the topics you can talk about. And the people that are in your life tend to be characters in the stories of your life, so you have to be careful not to upset anyone who thought that certain story would remain anonymous. See the problem?? There are stories I share with my friends that I sure don't want my kids to know about and there are incidents at work that I'd just as soon keep from my boss. If I praise a former relationship, that might not be appreciated by a future relationship. But if I stick with happy stories that are suitable for everyone, then I end up with forgettable Hallmark cards.

I'll work on it. Any advice would be appreciated.
