It’s official. I am 33. Thirty-something. 20-13 as David would say. I always strive to start something meaningful on my birthday. It’s much easier than New Year’s resolutions for me. So, my something new this year is blogging. I have to say that I have been lurking around for a while. After all, I am busy enough without adding something else to my plate. So, I came up with a list of…count ‘em… 33 reasons in no particular order to start blogging:
1. Because I can!
2. My friends are all doing it! Yeah, I have jumped off of a bridge before- OK?
3. I can do this in my PJs at 2 am or no PJs for that matter.
4. I love my laptop!
5. Michele made me do it.
6. I can share pictures of my girls with their computer savvy grandparents.
7. I can Praise the Lord in my blog!
8. I can share Blessings Unlimited in my blog.
9. My teenager thinks blogging is cool- it’s the Mom version of MySpace.
10. I LOVE my laptop!
11. I can catch up with my online girlfriends.
12. It doesn’t use cell phone minutes.
13. I can type whatever I want!
14. I can share a praise or prayer request quickly.
15. I might even get my pictures organized – 15 years worth.
16. Boo Sheep said I should do it.
17. Angie said I’d be good at it!
18. My kids are gorgeous and everyone wants to see them anyway.
19. It’s FREE!
20. Starbucks has wireless- SF Breve Mocha anyone?
21. I am learning something NEW!
22. I’m getting a head start on the future generation of bloggers.
23. I might just meet some cool new people.
24. I already know a few hip bloggers out there: Summer, Jodi and Elena.
25. It’s fun! I am all about having the “most fun”. (Now, if anyone can tell me what movie that is from, I will buy you a Starbucks!)
26. I get to pick my own songs.
27. You will learn new things about me, maybe even surprising things!
28. I don’t have to use white-out or an eraser.
29. I LOVE my laptop!
30. I want to COUNT MY BLESSINGS!
31. I can share my knowledge of Attachment Parenting , Baby Signs and The Happiest Baby on the Block.
32. Compared to natural childbirth, parenting a teenager and a preschooler at the same time, walking 60 miles in the 3 Day and being married to the same man for 15 years… it’s EASY!
33. It’s My Birthday and I’ll Blog if I want to…
Yeah!!! I’m so happy you gave in to the peer pressure. Welcome! Can’t wait to check in on you. Happy Birthday for the 15th time!
FUN! I am SO excited to have a new blog to check out. I love your list of 33 reasons to blog… and I not sure if I caught on to the true love you have for your laptop:) Happy Birthday! See you at school tomorrow!
