Blogging in my head

So I started this blog over a year ago, and while its appears that I have not kept it up that just isn't the case... I blog all the time in my head. Its true! probably several times a week I think about blogging, often while working, driving, exercising, or gardening. But I always feel conflicted when it comes to actually putting my thoughts to the key board and sharing them. I come up against two dilemmas: reluctancy to share anything, or rather how much to share, of what goes on in my head, and secondly guilt at the idea of spending even more time than I already do at the computer! especially since what I want to blog about the most, my experiences in my garden and my life in general, leave me figuring I should just stay in the garden or otherwise engaged with my life during that free time rather than in the blogosphere.

However, when it comes right down to it- I want to blog- and at least two of my dear pals who I don't get to keep up with as much as I'd like to, want me to blog as well. So I'll give it a shot.

Consider this the shot.

I just got back from a bike ride on the Old Road into town with Mike. We had lunch on the patio of our favorite Mexican food spot, and I wore shorts and a tank top for what I remember as, quite literally, the third time it has been warm enough, I mean truly truly warm enough, to wear shorts and a tank top in coastal Humboldt in the last three years I have lived here.

What I mean to say is, I am having a near prefect Sunday, and that to me is worth blogging about.

We'll se how I do. Mike and I are in a pretty awesome place in our life right now, and it also feels very much like a cross roads or transition period. We are officially out of poverty with Mike in a new job while still maintaining his small business, a recent pay increase at what I refer to as my "main" job, and my part time and seasonal jobs ramping up. We are beginning to conceptualize next year's pending wedding, plan travels for no less than three weddings of dear friends by the years end, and tempting fate and kismet for the prospects of home ownership all the while. I'd like to blog more about all of those happenings.

When I blog in my head it takes two forms: I'm either on a coffee date with a friend (in many cases its Niki) and catching her up on all the things I'm excited about, or paining over, or want to share with someone I care for and who cares for me. The other head-blogs are about my dream space... the really exciting plans Mike and I are always making for our future. Some more serious than others, some contradict the previous and the next, though to me all worth "breazy's beat".

I hope those I love are finding light and happiness today.

scary blogging

ok, if you are reading this, you obviously know more about blogging than I do. I'm finishing up a Master's degree and two certificates of study right now, and feeling the pressure (from myself mostly) to become a bit more tech savvy. I'm going to have a lot more time on my hands post April 22, after I defend my thesis... so why not become comfortable blogging and pick up a new hobby all at once. whew...thanks for listening, I feel better already.

love,
