Oh, I don't know....

For a while now, I've been contemplating what to do about the blog.

As you may have noticed, I divulge quite a bit about our lives here. So much so that one does not have to try very hard to know what is going on in our lives--they just have to come here. This is intentional, since both our families are spread out quite a bit, and the density of traffic around here prevents us from seeing friends very often.

However, sometimes people piss you off/hurt/annoy you so much that you don't feel the need to share with them anymore. They do something so stupid, and so.... vengeful, that there's really no reason to keep them in the loop anymore, related or not. That's part of the reason why we moved the blog.

Now, it has come to my attention that I probably use the blog as a sounding board a little too much. I say things in frustration, and "to vent" and the next thing I know, some folks are reading into what I say WAAAAAAAY too much, and nearly ruins Jeremy's birthday as a result [which was yesterday, btw... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BABISH! ;) ] It's amazing how much hurt/anger/annoyance e-mail can cause... [and how even more strained relationships become because of it....]

Anyways, I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. I'd like to keep the blog as is, but now realize that that is unrealistic. So do I open it up only to invited readers? Do I start posting "bare-bones" posts with pictures and captions only? Do I create a different blog to use as my "sounding board"? I don't know yet. There are people who read our blog that probably wouldn't if they had to create a Google account to do so. And I personally don't see the point of just posting pictures and captions--I could use a photo-hosting service for that.

All I know is that this will be the last "personal" post on here until I figure it out. I'm extremely disappointed that I finally have to make this decision, but if it saves us the turmoil of the past week, it'll be so worth it! [i won't TEll you who Deserves the thanks for that... i'm sure they know.]

So don't be surprised if it's quiet here for a while. A break from the blog world might be good for me, anyways. That's a couple of hours a week, at least, I could spend doing other things. We'll see, I guess.

And that is that. NAP TIME! :)
