Time keeps getting away from me. Way too often. Or, perhaps it’s that my priorities have changed a bit. I used to use this blog as a way to update friends and family about what was going on with me and the boy. And post pictures so I could have proof for my mother that I really was where I said I was.
Now?
Facebook and Instagram seem to have taken over. And actual phone calls {along with Skype or Google Talk}.
I’m not quite sure what to do – I’m tempted to not post here anymore. The quality has been lacking {not that it was ever that good to begin with} and it seems that all you’re getting lately is a bunch of photos and a few recipes here and there.
My sincere apologies.
Maybe I’ll just leave it up and let it sit for a bit. I might get back to posting, maybe not. I haven’t decided.
Ugh.
I’ve had this blog since October of 2006. Six years and change. Six years!!!! It seems a shame to close it down, but I don’t like that it’s not a priority anymore.
There. I said it.
* le sigh *
Only I can change my priorities. Right? Yes.
So. Impasse.
I follow quite a few blogs. Most of them are written by talented women who are married, have children and can somehow manage to keep up with a blog. I’m not naive enough to believe that they keep things together all the time and they run an extremely tight ship and nothing is ever out of place and things are never hectic. In fact, I think each of them would tell me otherwise. I just have different priorities at this point in time.
Kudos to them, each and every one of them. I love reading their blogs. Love it {especially the ones who give me really good recipe ideas}.
Again, so. Impasse.
In the meantime, if you’d like to find me on Facebook, please do {click here}. And instagram {username is: calistalee}.
i’ve SO been here before (ummm…multiple times). i started calling it the blogging in and buggering out routine(!).
sometimes, a break is all you need to be inspired again. i’d definitely miss reading more than just a caption of your life…so i hope, if anything, this is just a *small* buggering out phase!
we change. we morph. we grow.
i think your blog can too
xo
I think mine is more of a blogging out routine. I hope it’s just a small buggering out phase too. Thank you for your words reminding me that my blog can change and morph along with me
Blogging in and buggering out, LOL! Cal, I could have written this post myself. If I’d bothered my arse to write ANYTHING on my blog for ages, that is.
I kind of miss it, I miss the routine of writing I’d kind of fallen into at one point, I miss the friends I made – but then again, the friends I made (you!) I mostly keep up with on Facebook.
However, it’s really nice to maintain a blog which is content YOU own. Facebook is fickle; who knows what could happen to our content. It’s also very hard to go back in time and find stuff. Blogs are better at recording your life in an organised fashion, I think.
Trouble is, if I resurrect mine, I don’t think anyone would notice …
But as for yours, I hope you keep it going. Even if it IS only some photos and recipes. I’d miss it if you pulled it
I would notice if you resurrected your blog
I certainly would! I would miss the little community I have here if I closed it down and it does serve as a good reminder of the past, though I must admit that I cringe at some of the posts I wrote a few years ago. Ha! I don’t think I’ll close it completely – I like having the option of writing something whenever I want, even if there is no one there to read it 
Yes, I miss the community too although most of them have popped up on Facebook. But it’s not the same
And as for my old posts, gah, I wouldn’t re-read them.
I’m toying with the idea of taking on a completely new identity though, cause if you google this identity, a whole load of highland pony stuff comes up which is very near to where my parents live. So, my chances of being “outed” at home are greater, and I really, really don’t want that. I’d like to “live” in a wee corner of the internet where other people “know” me but my family doesn’t!
Any ideas for me?
I’ve had this identity since 2004 so in a way I don’t want to lose it, but on the other hand, it’s really died! And if I didn’t use this name, I don’t know what I WOULD use .. Ho hum.
I’d really miss this place if you buggered out permanently, so glad to hear you’re not!
Hmmmm, I don’t know. I suppose you could make your blog private. It’s always tricky to maintain anonymity, especially on the web. I’ve never really tried to be anonymous, so I am not a good person to ask
