Blogging

I have to say I have done so much better with blogging since my birthday last year (my "New Year's Resolution" upon a new year of my life) than I have in recent years (well, since I even started this thing) and I'm really proud of myself for it.  I'm also pretty sure there would have been even more posts had my mom not died, but I guess that is just the way it goes. And I still have a couple of months left to go until my next birthday, not that I am going to give up blogging or anything, even though it is pretty apparent I am the only one who reads what I write.  But that's okay...it's good exercise for the brain and I like going back and reading what I wrote in the past. 


I was even thinking that I may just publish my blog; well, not exactly publish it but have it printed in book form through Blurb or some other site that does books, just because.   I also kind of want to do a cookbook too, but I need to start taking pictures of things I cook so I can have them when I need to add them to the book.  Then I was thinking I would like to do one on Mom, starting with one of the earliest pictures of her and ending with her 80th birthday.  I have to wait on that one though because those pictures are still at her house so I don't have access them to them at the moment.  I have all these ideas to do books on so I just need to do it.  I have time at work because it is pretty quiet a lot of the time and I'm kind of bored so that would give me something to work on. 


Of course then I think, ok, I make these books and then what will happen to them because honestly I don't think anyone is going to care about them but me.  But I am doing them for my own enjoyment and I suppose that is what really counts...and maybe someday after I'm gone someone will find them and get a kick out of them.  At any rate, it is something I want to do and now I just need to gather up pictures and get started.


And who knows? Maybe this blog will be a best seller. :-)
