Bad blogger....

I'm a really bad blogger. I love to read blogs and now that google has that awesome reader thing, I don't even have to type in the blogs I read, they all just come right to me! Maybe that's not a new thing for blogging people, but it is for me and I love it! Except for the fact that since I no longer have to remember all the names of blogs I like, type them in and see if they have been updated (which usually took up a lot of my time when I have nothing to do while working late), I find myself rather bored...

Like to the point where I feel like there is nothing interesting to find on the internet! How is that even possible?!? I'll tell you why! Because I work for the government and they have blocked all the fun, waste-all-the-time-in-the-world sites like myspace, facebook, youtube, etc. So after reading all of cnn, msnbc, people, and my google reader (which, btw is my way to sneakily read what's on perezhilton since it's blocked, but not on google reader!! Love the google!) I have nothing else left to do. I have searched all the local real estate listings-found the houses I wish we had bought, checked the weather for upcoming snow and temperatures requiring gloves, scarf and hat (I've been lucky to get away with just my jacket for a while now!), checked google reader for any updates since the last time I checked it, and now there's not much left to do. Oh, expect plan a vacation to Mexico-$1200 for an all inclusive week to Puerto Vallarta at the Fiesta Americana for two!-and trust me I compared all the travel sites, this is definitely a good deal!

So I guess I feel the same way I do about blogging as I do about the internet. There's just not much going on. Anything I think about blogging about seems inappropriate-like I don't want to talk about work in detail-I've read all about people getting in trouble for that on the blogs-So, other than work and Lucy (my dog whom I love beyond words, but I do get that not everyone loves MY dog as much as I do, and I can only write about how cute she is when she "whispers" or cuddles with us so much), my life seems pretty un-blogable. I keep thinking that when we have kids I'll blog about them (since I apparently have a fetish for parenting blogs-strange I know!), but who knows about that.

On another, "I don't blog" not-Craig got me a journal for my birthday (which was very sweet!) because he said he thought I should write stuff down (you know, feelings, so I don't have to talk about them to him so often. [Just kidding, he's not a jerk like that]). But then I asked him if he would read it....he said No. But I know my husband better than that! This is the same person who will go online and look at my credit card statement to see where I shopped, look at how much a I spent and then guess (usually correctly) what I bought him for his birthday, Christmas, etc.! He has pretty much ruined every surprise I ever had for him with his noseyness! And I was right about the journal too! About two seconds after he said he would not read the journal he bought me if I wrote in it, he said "Well, what if I'm worried about you?" My response was, "Great! I obviously cannot write in a journal without knowing you will read it because you will FIND something to be "worried" about so that you can justify reading it whenever YOU feel like it!" So journaling will probably not work for me. Not that I have some soap opera life or anything, but I don't think I could write freely if I know that CRAIG will be reading every word as soon as I go to work. So on that side of things, maybe blogging is for me....everything I would write on here would be public so I wouldn't have to worry about anyone (Craig) being sneaky! I guess the real problem is that I'm just too lazy to blog on a regular basis...maybe that will change now that I've written the longest blog ever, or maybe not...
