Testing 1, 2, 3…Testing…::tap tap:: Is this thing on?

Ummmm…Hi.

So, I have this blog that I neglect, you see. And friends of mine still come by after all this time and post comments, which is really sweet. I think part of my problem (aside from the fact that I’m a goof…but that’s another story), is that my blog is having a bit of an identity crisis.

It started as a homeschool blog as part of a homeschool website, which is ::sniff:: no longer with us. So I moved it here. After a great deal of thought I decided to make it public because I really don’t put anything too personal in here. Surprisingly, my biggest hits are on specific hairtoys and a recipe I listed. I was even linked by a discussion board in Sweden (or was it Finland? ETA: it was Sweden. I got another visitor. Hi Sweden! ) for my directions for how to secure a bun with hairsticks.

Anyway…I don’t put daily stories of my life here. (We’re not that exciting.) I don’t want to put pics of my kids online. (Too many weirdos out there.) I did decide to start a new hair blog over at The Long Hair Community because it makes more sense to keep the hair stuff together and in context. (Even though my biggest hits are on hairtoys in this blog. Go figure.) Unfortunately, I didn’t realize until I had sent a link to that blog to a friend of mine to read, that you need to be a member of LHC with at least 25 posts in order to see the blogs over there. ::sigh::

I meet with homeschool friends daily in a gmail group; chatter politics with the folks at The Mighty Righty; hair talk with the long hairs at The Long Hair Community; get spiritual with my siblings in Christ at Spiritually Speaking…

I guess what I’m saying is I don’t know what to write about here most of the time. Hence, the identity crisis.

That’s all. I’m a goof with a blog that doesn’t know what it wants to be when it grows up. (Neither does its owner.)

Hey, just copy & post from the blogs to here so the rest of us and keep up w/what’s going on in your head. =)

I really should get back to TLHC as I’ve not been there in months, I wonder if I’m even still a member

I just checked LHC and you are still a member. (With 22 posts!) The whole site was down for about a month early this year. (Server or database issues…or something like that.) Steph started us from scratch with a new site and archived the old one. All of our stats carried over, though.

Some new features are the blogs, photo albums, profile pages that are kind of like the wall at Facebook, social groups, a review section, articles. It’s a whole new place!

You have a lot to blog about! Consolidate, that’s what I say!

So, maybe this needs to be a cooking/healthy/natural type stuff blog??? Maybe it just needs to be entertainment for all of us who read you and LOVE your style.

I miss you when you don’t post….so I miss you a lot!
I am always having an identity crisis. So I just dribble total fudge. We’re not that interesting here either.

You like me! You really, really like me!

(Poor Sally Field. )

Thanks guys. I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to be repetitive. ; )

Bekki, I was just thinking of you yesterday! How are you?

And Shrare, you’re popping up everywhere, aren’t you? Your hubby is going to call me a bad influence!

I need to get into the rhythm of blogging regularly. Maybe with school slowing for the summer I can do that. (And my husband was hoping that I’d spend less time on the computer if I didn’t need to boot it for school stuff. LOL!)
