Sucked into the underside

My friend Daphne was the first of my friends to begin blogging. Her blog began with a purpose: she was undergoing medical testing and the blog was the easiest way for her to communicate everything that was going on. Her blog later transitioned as a way for her to communicate the emotional roller coaster that she was on while in the throws of international adoption. Good reading, right?

Next, my friend Heather began using her blog as a way to communicate with friends and family about the testing that her young son was undergoing. She was frank with her emotions and there was a rawness to her early entries that made it a compelling read.

Soon, I got into "creeping". Looking at blogs of friends of friends - some wonderfully written, others filled with vivid photographs, and some unique gems that had both. It was intriguing - this way of looking into other people's lives, hearing about other peoples tribulations with parenting, loss, and marriage. I was hooked.

There were days that I would check a friend's blog obsessively (Ben's first court date, Jack's medical appointment in Boston) and there are other friends that I peruse on a weekly basis. Not that I wasn't interested in their lives, but if something significant were to happen, surely it would be on Facebook, right?

I don't consider myself that interesting, nor do I consider myself a great writer. I occasionally take a picture that I am proud of. I HATE to be in pictures. The one thing that I have going for me is that I have a two year old, and believe you me, there is a new adventure everyday!




I hope that if you come across this site by chance that you aren't bored to tears. But, I really hope that you find this an amusing peep into our everyday lives!
