Blogging??!!!! Am I nuts?!!

So... confessional time. I am starting a blog and I can't even check my e-mail on a regular basis. I think I am losing my mind. Today I opened my e-mail and had over 100 that I had not responded to dating back to a couple of weeks ago. Truthfully, I am not very gifted in that whole correspondence realm. However, I figure with two kids it could be a really great stress reliever so I thought I would give it a shot. Besides, you are not really required to respond to people... just write. I really do like blogs for this reason. They require very little commitment or time. I have several friends who have blogs and it is nice to just pop into their lives at two in the morning, check that all is well, see what is new, and then sign off. Actually, I do feel like a bit of a "blog-voyeur" in some ways. I feel like I am peeking through the windows of peoples' lives without having to wipe my shoes and come in. This in itself can be very freeing, however, I do feel it a bit impersonal... and a bit creepy. So here I am. I am opening up the curtains of our life, so to speak, for others to peek into my windows so we can all be non-committal and a bit creepy together. Sounds like a great deal to me.
