Truly... it's a dilemma I face many times. I write a post everyday (or almost everyday) but many times they are full of photos or videos - i really write probably just 4 times a week or so. I participate in carnivals for interaction because if I don't I do not get much comment (I have a very few Real Life friends who reads my blog and even less who comment). Blogging for me is a hobby but I also am trying to develop one blog to help supplement out income (A MAUI BLOG). Liza's Eyeview remains my hobby/friend blog. I don't get to comment much and if I do it's usually very short (but I like doing quick readings of blog posts) This is probably one of the longest comment I've ever left on a blog.

I have a few bloggy carnivals that I like to participate in, so that helps with "what" to write on particular days. I don't get to visit my fave blogs as often as I would like, and i'm often interrupted by my little one when leaving comments, like just now. i remind myself that blogging is only a hobby. other things are more important than hobbies.

Wed, 10 Dec 2008 22:15:38 +0000 http://www.edgren.com/wordpress/2008/12/09/a-rambling-blog/#comment-9832 Hi Kathy, I like to blog nearly every day. I get up when my husband does which is typically about 3 hours before we start our school day. I just happen to like this time of the day...in the quiet to toodle around the blog world. This is when my creativity is at its highest...after that it gets all burned up on teaching math that I never learned when I was in school....lol. I like just reading whatever is on people's minds on any given day...no pressure... Thanks for being honest... Becky K. Hi Kathy,

I WANT to read....my family wants me to WRITE....so I tend to write first and then spend whatever extra moments I can find reading. I've set strict boundaries to beat back the monster.....writing has become a "big rock" as family far away really does miss the photos etc when I don't blog....reading is something fun for ME and so when things are busy.....I write first and hope to read once or twice a week. I love what you write - whenever you write. ** I’m not careful, the computer tries to eat up great chunks of our homeschool day, and then, not satisfied, it wants to snatch away precious family time.**

I was surprised at how lost I felt when mine was down for a few days recently--like my security blanket had been lost. Maybe that's what it is, my little piece of sanity in a world filled with laundry, dishes, etc... Greedy computers, indeed.

David is blessed to have lots of good friends. Hey, there Tim, you're going to give me a terrible reputation. Maybe I came to bed at that time, but I had been sleeping soundly downstairs on the comfy couch. :) Well, there was some reluctance on David and Caedie’s part when I asked them to hug for the picture, but they look awfully cheerful.

Fortunately, I type very fast and have mastered having several windows open at the same time so I don't have to spend any seconds waiting for blogs to load.. they load while I read the one before it.. I finish reading click comment and start the other one loading while I go on to the next one that already loaded.... I don't have a lot of time for personal blogging mostly because of my wacky workflow regarding pictures which I plan to post about SOON!
