The Lurking is Over

Well, here it is my first official post. I feel so exposed out here in the world of blogginess. I have to admit I've been lurking at several posts for a few months now. It's not unusual behavior for me. In highschool I would often find myself with my girlfriends driving by some guy's house with no intention of actually seeing him. Well actually if we saw him and he did not see us that would be a bonus. I remember actually ducking in the car a few times. "Drive by's" were nothing compared to the prank phone calls. We would call guys just to hear them say hello and then hang up the phone.

Even now 17 yrs. later when I watch Veronica Mars which by the way is a great show I'm inspired to snoop around. The show is about a girl in highschool who's father is a private investigator but she also takes jobs solving cases on her own. I highly recommend it. Back to my point. Things started off innocent enough. I was randomly reading Lisa Whelchel's website when she referred readers to Sarah at In the Midst of It if you have young children. I popped over there and after reading a few posts realized we had a few things in common with the main thing both our children having open heart surgery. I started to get in deeper when I found myself not only reading her posts but other strangers posts linked on her site. I started asking people about this blog thing and found out it was more popular than I thought. Our highschool and jr. high pastor at our church both blog. The lurking went on strong having new blogs to read everyday. My son would cry "mommy get off the puter!" My husband would just give me kind of a weird look like "yes you're insane but I still love you."

I've come to realize the only cure for me is to start my own blog and put myself out there or get rid of my computer completely. Obviously I chose the first. So even if I am exposed I'm a healthier person because of it. Now if I could just tackle my coffee addiction.
