Really, no one’s reading


I don’t know if I’ll do the scavenger hunt after all. Though I got some interesting suggestions, I was fully expecting more comments. I apologize for being such a bad blogger. And I hate blogging about blogging in this manner; all sad and pathetic and woe is me. I didn’t think I’d ever reach a point where I’d honestly say, “Should I continue to blog?” The thing is, I have always kept a journal. This is an extension of it and I enjoy doing it regardless. Maybe  I got all caught up in the fact that other people read it too so there was a bigger reason to make it, well, good. So I don’t know. That’s the answer. It’s difficult to keep up with all of this with the rest of my life.

I read All and Sundry all the time. I used to read it every day but I notice that she no longer has the time to update religiously either. Granted, I don’t have two children – yet – but I think I see now why it’s so difficult. Especially working full time. Or if you want to make actual meals and spend time with your spouse and work out and watch TV, for the love of Pete. (What’s up with that phrase anyway? Do we capitalize Pete? Who IS Pete? … I have a friend named Pete.)

Life is so busy and when it isn’t, I don’t squeeze in extra activities; I rest. It sounds cheesy when my mother says, “listen to your body” but she’s right. I will be 11 weeks on Thursday and I have to still be careful. I feel alright today but I still get tired easily and the nausea comes and goes.

This weather helps immensely though. 78 and only 31% humidity today. I always feel more motivated when it’s not sweltering outside. However, I’ll admit that our summer was not bad at all this year. But I am definitely ready for it to be flat out Fall. In fact, once October first comes around, I’m breaking out the decorations, both Fall and Halloween.

But to get back to the whole blogging thing; I’ll be around. I just need to evaluate what is important and focus. I think that’s the key to any good site and getting/keeping followers. Only time will tell…

  1. I completely missed the post about the scavenger hunt. I was eyeballs deep in reading and test prep for one of my online courses. My Reader has been sadly neglected . . .

    But we’re I to play along, I’d have you take a picture of the most gorgeous tree in your neighborhood. Something about tree pictures do it for me . . .

    Don’t let the blog thing get you down. Do it for you . . .

  2. Yeah, I know I said I would comment more, but I’m finding I don’t really even have the time to read blogs, let along comment on them. Writing lectures, assessing research questions and grading papers keeps me pretty busy – I don’t really have any time to work on my own research.

    I still read, but I don’t have any suggestions about a picture to take. How about something cool you found on the ground?

  3. I wonder if Pete is supposed to be St. Pete?

    RE: blogging – with the Friendbar app, I’m finding it a lot easier to update Twitter and The Facebook and read everyone else’s updates. Remembering to update my LiveJournal is getting harder, I do try to cover the big happenings there. They are less substantial though…I know what you mean about replies, I’ve been trying to keep my new sewing / craft blog updated as a second, more public blog, but know one responds there. Not a big deal, but still.
