The Joyce Blog

Should I continue maintaining this blog? We've figured out how to Skype with my parents, so we now have an easy way of getting the images of Olivia back and forth to the east coast grandparents. I'm kind of a private person, so am never going to share special family moments on this blog (the way that this blogger does) Olivia is past the point where there are any interesting milestones -- she's already crawled, taken her first steps, said a few words, learned how to feed herself, got her driver's license, and has been to the senior prom. Well, she hasn't done all of those things yet, but it's doubtful that I will write about those things on a public facing website (do I really want those ugly prom pictures to come back and haunt her later in life?)

I have to admit that the blog is a fun place for me to rant about the occurrences in my daily life (although 97% of the time I edit or delete my post in fear that the idiot at the grocery store will not only find my blog, but be the hiring manager at some job I am applying for 5 years from now.) And I do occasionally write humorous postings about parenting (although, I have deleted all of those postings in fear that people will think that I am a terrible parent or that my mom will call to scold me.) Did anyone enjoy last year's pear segment? My life really is that boring. And if it wasn't that boring, I probably wouldn't be posting it on a public facing blog.

Just as I was about to hit 'post,' my sister called to tell me that my mom and her both think it's cute that Olivia isn't scared of bubbles and loves carousels. So I suppose that I should continue keeping this blog, for now. And pear season is right around the corner...
