New Year Resolutions ...bad idea?? Since I cant remember one that had life changing effects..I'm going to go with bad idea.. But I kinda made one this year.........I want to use my computer less. Facebooking, blogging, blog surfing, all that brain-building stuff seems more & more time/mind zapping & unproductive. I do love reading certain blogs & have become attached to a hand full. Those I definitely wouldn't say are unproductive, I have learned a lot from so many knitters, moms, cool ladies I somehow feel virtually connected to. It just felt really good to step away from it for a week or so & disconnect.
We headed south the day after Christmas & spent the week visiting my family. Lots of miles logged, subway pit stops, (one of the only veggie restaurants you can find off the hwy). Despite finally finding La Puerto ( a mexi restaurant) with awesome food in Wytheville on the way back, but I still didn't get my dunkin donuts,, only starbucks (which i reaaallly dislike). They have started popping up even with drivethrus along 77!
Our time in NC was fun, exhausting, nostalgic, & always fun for the kids. Christmas didn't want to end.. I loved seeing everyone & always feel sad when we leave knowing I wont see a lot of their faces until we return. On this visit we said goodbye to my aunt Elsie. She passed away 12/24. I was glad we could be there to visit with my grandma during the time she was saying goodbye to her sister. Her funeral was sad, but one I could see Elsie smiling & laughing at. I'm glad I could could be there.
So as my new resolution looms...I started thinking about whether blogging is something I should continue. Honestly, I wish I could make this space private & keep it away from people that I dont know, but may have found thebigredcar,from searching for the wiggles or a sports car:) I go back & forth...to blog or not. I like looking back & knowing I've keep an online journal of sorts for so long. But I wonder who is reading this. Its kind of like opening up to who knows who & sharing alot of personal information with complete strangers. Whose reading this?? if anyone ..family, friends, (i know lana is out there somewhere:)
But I go back to when I started this blog. Jack was speeding around the sidewalks in the infamous "bigredcar" & maddie just a little thang. now he zooms around on his scooter & new skateboard, & maddie isnt as little as she use to be. I love looking back at all their lovely little faces (yours too john!) , and all the the wonderful things we have been able to do. It just requires computer time..time that i could be doing something else. taking more pictures, knitting, reading, who knows what. i do feel sort of proud of this space though..something I maintained for a few years now.
So maybe with the new goal to use the computer less, I can still blog alittle??
