More Blogging, Less Facebook

If it weren't for family and friends that I like to keep updated on, I would have left Facebook a long time ago. I do not like it when I cannot post anything, the lag when it comes to typing letters, or the browser crashes.

I did stop the browser from crashing by installing Adblock on Firefox. Wow, what a difference. Not only did Firefox does not crash, but it runs so much faster. I mean like I-just-bought-a-new-computer-and-only-installed-Firefox-on-it faster.

But Facebook is still buggy. When they finally fix the bugs, they add a new feature which causes more bugs. What's more, I think it's becoming way too invasive. Maybe I'm starting to show my age, and it's not like I share anything super personal, but given the political climate, I might be just getting a little paranoid.

That said, blogging is a bit more productive as it helps me get my thoughts out into text. This particular blog (if you haven't noticed) is a bit schizophrenic as I try to get my mangled thoughts out. So there are a lot more rants on here than news of my family life. You may see a lot of seemingly contradictory statement as I try to resolve contradictory thoughts, perhaps changing my mind on my original beliefs, or reinforcing them.

Feel free to comment and discuss, as long as you can back up your comments with references and are open to discussion, I don't have a problem with disagreements. As a matter of fact, I may see a perspective that I haven't thought of before.

Will there be any family news on here at all? Yes, I have been recording videos this week for a little project that I won't mention until I post it. It's mostly for the fun of it, getting used to using Magix again (a movie editing program). That's all I'm going to say on it.

So I lied

Did I say the last post was my last? Well, I have changed my mind. The reason? I discovered the difficulty of trying to manage too many blogs - all trying to separate my life into neat little categories. So what happens when I have to teach my kids on researching healthy eating online? Would that go into my health blog? Or would that be Tech? Or maybe just plain family life?

As a result, I start to feel really overwhelmed, and when I feel overwhelmed, I simply stop doing what I intended on doing, resulting in a few, very neglected blogs.

That's it. I'm coming back here and it's going to stay that way. I'll just have to start using the labels accordingly.

All those other blogs I referred you to? Forget it. The 11 month project, the health journey (yes,they're kind of the same), SAHM's place, and MOMETEK.... Well, I'm keeping mometek because in that blog has all the answers to the questions I get asked a million and one times. I will be posting there again, soon.

But everything else - if I can figure out how to delete the blogs completely off the web, I will. Unfortunately, even if I get a chance to delete them off of blogger, we all know some things do not go away on the web. That won't stop me from trying.

Not again! Dead Power Supply. New blog home?

The family computer died - again

It's not my fault, I swear! I wasn't even near the computer this time. It just shut off. One minute I was blogging on my new Yuwie account and the next minute, as I greeted my husband as he came home from work, it quit.

Speaking of Yuwie, I think have found my new home.

No offense to blogger, it's a pretty decent blogging site, but I do need to make money to buy myself a laptop - somehow. And if I were to get paid to do what you can do on Myspace for a free sign-up, why not. And if I don't make money, then it was free anyway and I'm doing what I like to do.

I don't know if I will continue to blog here. I may anyway, since I have a plugin for Mozilla that allows me to blog on a whim instead of having to sign on to blogger everytime.

If you sign up, I'll your first friend. Although I would have to warn you though, you will be bombarded with friend requests.

Note: Even if I choose not to have blogger as my blogging home anymore, I still may post on occasion to let you know what is going on.

New era in blogging

I haven't been keeping up on my blog recently. A lot of it has to do with the fact that I do have a baby to take care of. Also, I realized that I'm not blogging on what I should be blogging about - my family life.

Well, I have - kind of. There are a few mentions of my family, but more or less of "fluff". So now, I'm completely redesigning my website to reflect the actual topic. It'll be a while before I post again, but it won't be the same anymore.
