My blogging has been sporadic of late- too many other things pulling me in other directions. I’ll note, though, tech-geek that I am, that I’ve started keeping a list of blog entry ideas in a list in my Treo. I think it’s just there to remind me that occasionally I do have interesting thoughts cross my mind, fleeting and non-fleshed-out as they may be.

Looking at Movable Type’s handy admin page for my blog, I see that I’ve posted 99 different entries since the birth of this blog. No doubt some were better than others, and the general quality of the whole thing could be debated. But I’ve enjoyed the chance to take time to think and then write (preferably in that order). I’ve even had folks contact me because of my blog – the Girly-Girl post was quite the favorite for a while – even ended up with an e-mail penpal because of it. (Hi, Christine!)

Of course, I always wish I had more time to spiff up the site, to do something with style sheets ala the CSS Zen Garden, or to make the general functional interface of the site more useful, but hey, I wish I had more time to do lots of other things in life, too. I’d actually think it’d be a horrible thing if this site ended up winning out, priority-wise, over other aspects and interests in my life. On the list of goals in my life, a great blog ranks way down the list: that MBA, the first marathon race, the afternoon spent blowing bubbles with my daugher, the great dinner eaten out or (even better) cooked with my husband – all beat out a beautiful page design or even more frequent posting.

So I amuse myself with little snippets here and there, and I have a vain (probably in both senses of the word) hope that I amuse others, too. Now 100 entries in, I think the feet are wet, the oars are in, and I’m paddling somewhere, though as yet the destination’s unknown.
