A brand-new approach to "journaling" - at least, for me

[okvegascowgirl]

OK, so here's a snapshot of my life over the past week, give or take a few days:

I have

1. baked 10 doz gingerbread cookies and hosted 15 kids for a pre-Christmas cookie decorating party (good)
2. cancelled my appt to have a much-needed crown replaced for the second time (meh)
3. made my mother cry, and really?  Didn't feel a great deal of remorse, because

Oh, darlin', I have a feeling you will be hearing more about the "mom" issues in upcoming posts. Please share the bits you can relate to, it may help me w/the guilt! I'm so flattered that you even remember me and enjoy my posts - I've got a bit of catching up to do w/your page, I'll bet! I'll try to live up to your expectation of "meaningful" posts - I've never been one to enjoy the Twitter version of communication ... I enjoy writing so much more when I feel I have something semi-interesting to say. I just hope I have as interesting a year as I think I will!

Lists/snapshots can be really helpful. Sometimes it's easier to see what's important...and sometimes it's just easier to list than to describe in detail. And it should be interesting to look back on them!

That's exactly what I'm hoping for. I want to make posting feel like an easy check-in kind of thing, rather than something I approach like a writing assignment, where I feel if I don't have something profound to say I shouldn't even be cluttering up ppl's FL, y'know? That's why I'm going to try to keep it relevant but brief: I'm more likely to post more often, and I hope that will result in a decent amount of posts to look back upon in a year. I'm not even calling it a "resolution," because I totally suck at keeping those!

I'm glad you're still posting...though I suck at commenting anyway. Still typing one handed a lot due to babby ;) pics of dream house sometime?

OMG, I forgot - baby! I've got to visit your page and check out how things have been going. Old hand here, so it might be impossible for me to keep from giving unsolicited advice at times - just take it w/a grain of salt. And you do not suck at commenting ... just taking the time to say anything makes my day!
