Never Say Never

I've been married coming up on 12 years. I am one page away from being finished with my wedding album. I've been one page away for about 6 years now. Scrapbooking just isn't for me. I wanted it to be...I do have an artsy side and who doesn't want to create memories for their family? I went to a few scrapbook nights with the girls...and then I started making up excuses....uh, yeah, I've got cramps...they're really bad this month. It was at that point that I realized, "Geez, I think I hate scrapbooking!" The money, the time, the way the page overtook the sweet pictures, the 'too much of a good thing' going on...That was an unpopular thing to say, so I stayed in my "I hate scrapbooking closet" for years.

Well, that is how I felt about blogs. I had come across a few in the past where it seemed that all the chicks did were showcase and brag about how perfect their lives were with their perfect husbands and perfect children and perfect breasts. And, for some reason, these same chicks would only post Glamour shots of themselves...boas and all. It only took a few of those to say to myself, "I'll never do a blog." Never say never! Here I am! I'm jumping back on to the turnip truck, and I'm blogging myself away! Why did I change my mind? Well, I realized (duh) that I don't have to make my blog about my perfect breasts. I have seen some wonderful blogs that are a great way to journal and record memories of family and things that are important. It's also a great way to share with friends that you don't see so often. And the blogs I've seen lately have made me change my mind. They are fun to read, crack me up and give me a lift and a smile.

So, I was wrong. Blogs aren't bad...some blogs still want to make me throw up, but most are great. I can make my blog REAL. And I guess if I feel like bragging that day, I can.
