Some random thoughts on blogging:
I still like it. I have fallen into a Monday through Friday poster, and that feels about right to me. The Three Things Thursday may be played out. I'm having trouble thinking of new things. I may change the rules soon.
I'm still conflicted about the discrepency between who I am on the blog and who I am in real life (yes, I know I could use the abbreviation IRL, but I don't like it. it makes me feel like a scary junior higher who uses text messaging too much.) I know that you, dear reader, know that this discrepency is there and is necessary, but it still bothers me.
I have a few friends that stopped posting on their blogs, but I still check from time to time. I know that one of them will be deleting her blog soon, but I don't think that will stop me from occasionally checking.
I have deleted a blog this past month. I had five blogs, but now I have four. I may delete another one. I don't use them anymore. The one I deleted was just for pictures for me and a few friends. I hadn't posted anything in a year and a half. I am a member of one secret blog and I have a secret identity. I haven't used it in a long while.
I have people comment on this blog that I have never met. I have people emailing me for permission to use my pumpkin muffin recipe for non-profit cookbooks. I don't know them, either. It makes me happy, though.
Most of my comments are from family members, which is exactly why I started this blog - to have more communication with family, to share stories and pictures of the kiddos. Thanks, family, for your comments and support. I may go off on strange tangents, but really, this blog is for you.

I love that you blog... it's one of the best parts of my day to check and see how you and stu and the kiddos are doing :) Thank you!
I'm grateful for the time and love you put into this blog, to keep our family close.
I love hearing from the ever-quotable Samuel!!
I'm glad you're still here! (Even if I'm not family...)
I just wish I was part of the family - trips to Hawaii, Chinese food at weddings, fishing trips, etc, - either side would do.
A secret blog, huh? Are you thinking you might let that one go? Might as well, if it never gets used anymore.
I started a blog two years ago for writing fiction. I think it has a total of three posts on it.
It's a highlight of my day when I can peek into what you and your family are doing.

Ya know, I didn't give thought to if my participation would be an intrusion or, for lack of a better word, an invasion--and for that, I apologize.
I've thoroughly enjoyed the the sharing of bread, and with your permission, would like to continue to 'break bread' with you.
Entirely up to you, however...because I can appreciate the purpose for this being here in the first place and I know the discrepency can compound itself.
Thanks, everyone! Mel, you are more than welcome to stay and comment. These were just random thoughts I had, not anything else. I'm glad you enjoy the fun :)
No matter if it has been one day, or a few, I really appreciate the connectedness that you promote through your blog. I am fortunate to share in the emotions... the happy, the sad, the funny, the random... and I am grateful for the glimpse into your lives.
Thanks She.
