Here are some thoughts on what I am doing right now...blogging.
Blogging is great because it's like I'm talking to myself but nobody looks at me and laughs...or maybe they do. Stop laughing!
Blogging is like having a conversation with your friends and nobody interrupts you. However, you do have to wait a little while for a response which can be a little frustrating sometimes.
I love Google Analytics (thanks Samuel). I can see where and how often people view my blog. It's like stalking, but not really. Okay, well yeah, it is. I'm stalking all of you.
Sometimes I go back and re-read my old blogs (like I've been doing this for so long or something...sheesh! It's only been about a month). And then I re-read all of your comments (again more stalking). And then I laugh because we are all so funny!
When I'm in a meeting or driving or just plain bored, I try to effectively use that time to plan my blogs. Like I don't have anything else to think about but my blog. Seriously. Sometimes though, I do have unplanned blogs. Like this one. I just sat down to look up something else entirely on the internet and just started writing this.
There are days when I will check my blog before my e-mail. Scary, I know, but true.
Does everyone out there love it as much as I do? Just wondering. (Not wandering, mind you, but wondering. I do wander...quite often. Right now I'm doing both.)

I think I'm hands down the best commenter. Any objections? That's right none.
Um...your blog tells you how many time each of us look at your blog? If mine says three bajillion, a day, it's because I get bored at work. It's definitely not that I'm creepy. I mean, I don't look in people's windows.
But seriously, I have four blogs (not including my own) on my favorites that I check periodically during the day. Just to see if there are new posts. Or new comments.
I do plan my blog :) I try to only put one post a day, because I'm afraid anything more and people won't comment (which seems pretty true so far). So if I have more than one good blogging idea in a day, I'll take a note on my phone and save it for later.
I do love blogging, now that I'm doing it for the reason of just keeping up with friends. Before, I'd have a hard time keeping up with posts and I'd get frustrated that a million people weren't commenting. But then I was only focusing it on my writing. Now that I'm just trying to be a human, I can blog almost every day and it's fun. And I can still sneak in stuff about my writing every once in a while.
I try to blog every day, or almost every day, so people can keep up on me. And I stay on the edge of my chair (well, not really, I kind of sit back, sometimes with a leg folded under) waiting for new posts from my friends. It's fun. And you're not crazy. And I only laugh because you're funny.
Ha-ha Matthew. And just so you know, Kansas City is the top city for number of hits on my blog. I don't think it's creepy. Don't worry. :)
I love blogging - most of the time.
Now I look at a situation or outing and start creating my post in my head. Everything is now seen through my blogger glasses, or blog-o-vision.
Some times I hate it. I hate that I can't stop checking my stats or comments or thinking of a new post. Then when I fall out of the habit, like the last 2 weeks, I hate that I have nothing to say.
