Blogland and Beyond

I've been reading a few (OK, more than a few) blogs lately.  I know, I know, I'm sure it's not a big surprise. 

I find I've become really fond of blogging.  I mean, come on, is there a more narcissistic hobby than writing about your own life and having other people read it?

I keep hoping to happen upon some blogs like mine.  Parent's of preemies anyone?  Older parents?  June Cleaver meets Randi Rhoades??  Maybe Roseanne serving up veggie tofu stir-fry instead of loose meat sandwiches.  Maybe a 4-wheeling preemie group?

There are so many people out there, writing about themselves, their families and their lives.  Over the years, I've found the Internet is a great way to make connections with people.  I met my husband on the Internet.  I've met quite a number of my good friends on the Internet.  I've found lost friends on the Internet.  Everyone has a story, and most of those story's are interesting.

When I find a blog I like, I will explore that person's blog-roll for other blogs that I like.  Some, I just skip through, some I read in depth, but each one is an extension of some person out in this world I don't know.  I wonder just how many blogs do you have to go through to find your way back to your own blog?

I'll admit it, I'm quite nosy.  I search things out when I don't know the answer.  I will get on the Internet and search for hours looking for an answer to this or that.  If I don't know how to spell a word, do you think I pick up my dictionary???

NOooooooo....I go onto www.dictionary.com and find what I need to know. 

I love www.google.com  Most of life's answers can be found on Google.  So where does this leave me?  Still very curious about who is out there.  So I want to try an experiment.

Who are you???  What is your story? 

I want to know who is reading my blog.  I see spots from all over the country, from all over the world and I have no idea who you are.  So I'm asking you to tell me...who are you?  If you feel like giving it a whirl, that's great.  If you aren't comfortable, that is cool too, but I really want to know who is out there reading my little piece of blogosphere.

Hi Monica. You know a little about me but here is some more. I am 39, 40 this year. I have a 14 year old from a previous marriage that only lasted 3 years..we were young and dumb but I recieved the greatest gift of my daughter PerryAnn. I married my husband 7 years ago. We dated long distance for 3 years and he moved to CA to marry us. We have Gracie who is almost 3. We tried for other children but I miscarried twice after Gracie was born so I am a little gun shy and getting old. I used to be a Real Estate Appraiser until the market crashed and I decided to stay home and spend time with Gracie so I closed my business though I do some on the side here and there. I could not stand staying home so I put Gracie in daycare and now I work for my brother in laws company Fulfillment Central in Georgia. I do online sales and marketing from my computer here in CA. My husband travels a lot for business. He is currently in Ohio, I think. Next week he will be in Portland all week. We met while he was in CA on business so what should I have expected..huh? We are really involved in our church -Sandals in Riverside and are pretty boring other than that.

I added your blog to my Reader after you left a comment on mine. I'm just across the border, in North Idaho.
