To Blog or Not to Blog

That is about the most simple question I've asked myself in a long time. Being a new wife and having a new home I've found myself bombarded in the last year with questions and decisions. Now, though, I happily move from "what color should the dresses be?" "am I thin enough for my dress?" "what kind of flowers should we use?" to more practical discussion like "what should we have for dinner?" "how long has it been since we cleaned the toilet?" "how do you gets stains out of laundry?" and "can raw meat last in the refrigerator that long?" And I'm learning a lot. For example, if it smells bad before cooking, it will taste and smell bad after cooking. Anyway, I've always been full of questions and anyone that knows me personally will tell you I over analyze everything. And lately I've found that I do less analyze and more putting along and living life. But sometimes it doesn't feel like my life anymore. Where was the girl that asked deep, thoughtful questions and was curious about everything. Is she forever replaced by someone more concerned about cooking dinner to perfection and how to properly clean her bathroom so that the fixtures remain shiney over time?
So that brings me to blogging. A place where I can not only write the stories of my life but also analyze anything and spend time in contemplation. I often consider writing journals for my future daughter(s) about what my life was like in high school, the experiences I've learned and grown from. But I worry that I would never keep a journal up. Instead I shall try blogging for a while. If I feel like I have anything worth sharing with others and even myself then I'll try my hand at a journal. Besides, I'm sort of a slacker and blogging is something I can do in free time at the office rather than setting time aside at home for journal writing.
I have read so many awesome blogs lately. Some that made me laugh my tooshy off and others that have just left me to ponder things. I haven't decided whether or not I'll share my blog with my friends or family. I'll of course share it with my husband. There is one thing they don't share with you before marriage....there is no escape! Thats not a bad thing though for me. I happen to have married the most wonderful man on the face of this earth and I share all my thoughts with him already. He might even be exited to hear that I'm trying this so maybe I won't have to unload so much on him every night at dinner.
So thus I'm committed. To blog. At least every once in a while. I will not attempt to be politically correct and especially not grammatically correct. This is my blog and my life and even if words don't come out they way I'd always life and sometimes the punctuation is different than I anticipated, it is a wonderful life.
