1. Have you ever reached the point where you just want to stop blogging - but don’t? What are the reasons and feelings that bring you to those feelings? Blog Boredom? Blog Frustration? Blog Over-Dose?

I’ve reached that point - - but I quit blogging when I did. I’ve been keeping this blog since October 2002 and took a break somewhere between February 2003 and April 2003. Not much of a break, really - it was about a month and a half…but sometimes a break is needed. What brought me to the need to break from the blog? Boredom. That’s about it. I may do it again someday, ya never know. My blogging lately has been pretty light, mostly because it’s officially summer around here and that generally means that I’m outside enjoying the sun and warmth…gardening, biking, camping - - enjoying myself outside too much to stay inside at my computer. My heavy blog months are winter months, for obvious reasons.

2. Do you blog from work? Does it make you paranoid - - or doesn’t it bother you?

I don’t blog from work. I don’t have the capability to do so….so I couldn’t even if I wanted to. BUT! If I could blog from work - it would make me paranoid, yea. Mostly because I have a hard and fast rule about keeping my business seperate from my personal life. I find things at work to be much easier that way - - so to open up my blog to potential prying eyes at work - - fuhgetaboutit ! Plus, I blog about my job sometimes - - and it’s not always positive, ifyaknowwhatImean?

3. RE: locations - - where DO you blog from?

I either blog in my office at home on my desktop - - or, like right now, for instance - I blog on my laptop while sitting in bed…watching television…drinking diet coke +/or coffee.

4. RE: Blog Meme’s - - share a few of your favorites here

I typically don’t do a lot of meme’s, quite honestly. I started this one for fun and to see how far I could take it before I ran out of questions to ask about blogging, in general. I used to do the Friday Five - - but that is no longer going. However, I did find this Friday Five substitution that I might give a whirl!

    1. Have you ever reached the point where you just want to stop blogging - but don’t? What are the reasons and feelings that bring you to those feelings? Blog Boredom? Blog Frustration? Blog Over-Dose?

    Yes I did. I was really busy in my life and did not have the time to keep it up. I kept the blog…left it up, but did not post for months. Then I decided that I wanted somewhere that I could keep my thoughts and just vent about what went on that day. You see I tend to obsess with things that are uncessary to obsess about. I was told by a therapist that I should keep a journal everyday about my feelings and what is going on. It is a great way to get things out of your mind. Or just babble on about anything stupid.

    2. Do you blog from work? Does it make you paranoid - - or doesn’t it bother you?

    I don’t blog from work. I did a couple of times. Yes it did make me paranoid because I did not want my boss to find my blog. See I talked a lot of crap about him in my old blog (and I probably will talk more crap, just because he is a stupid hipporcite who lies, but says that he is a christian.) So therefore yes I was parinoid.

    3. RE: locations - - where DO you blog from?

    Home, at my computer….sometimes from DB’s iMac ( I love OS X), but mostly from my homemade PC.

    4. RE: Blog Meme’s - - share a few of your favorites here

    I have been lazy with this meme, but there is another one that I do, its called Lindseys Chick Chat Those are the only ones that I do at the present moment. I might look into doing 1 more, however I am not sure.
