Blogging..
Posted by ivy | Under Ivy Unleashed Friday Aug 5, 2005Miss Zoot wrote in her blog yesterday about being a blogger and how she enjoyed blogging and i’ve been thinking about it every since. It took me a while to get into the blogging “scene”. My Friend Birgit who I met online a few years back on a message board introduced me to the blogging world. She has several blogs and message boards that she maintains and even a good many fanlistings as well. She is such a sweet person. She is always there to lend a hand when she can. Anyone who knows her online or off i’m sure will say the same. She brought up blogging along time ago. When she dissappeared off of Amazingly Woman for awhile I would go check on her by checking out her blog. After awhile I decided I had to have one.
I’m afraid that by the time I decided to join the fad of blogging that the fad was over (kinda like Misszoot states in her blog). When Birgit told me about blogging it was cool. By now everyone has a blog. From the creep down the road to Rosie. It’s no longer cool to blog. Kinda like GMail was cool until everyone had one..
I enjoy blogging..
It gives me an outlet. I can bitch all day long and you choose if you want to read it. It doesnt hurt my feelings if people do not want to read what I have to say. I blog for me mainly. Not to impress others. But I enjoy reading other blogs more than I do writing in my own. I find I enjoy different blogs based on my mood.
When I need a pick me up or an emmotional check I enjoy reading Colleen’s Blog. I say emmotional check because her writing is real. Its emmotional, its thought provoking, its sweet, it real. I can be down and go to her blog and read and even though the subject may be sad she brings me up. She is a true artist.. She is a clever poet. Her words bring forth images I couldn’t create myself.
Then you have Monty’s blog. She is a riot. Rarely does a trip to her blog not make me laugh.
I’ve got a long list of blogs I could name here. Going through my blogroll makes me feel “normal”. It shows me that there are people out there just like me. Who live with the day to day crap I live with and its okay. Marti is one of those who make it really real. I think deep down we might know alot about each other. The blog world makes it easier for me to see that I am not alone. I’m glad its out there.. It makes parenting a little easier too. I can read about parents who are alot like me. And ignore those who arent and get on my nerves.
I’m off to feed kids and put them down for a nap while I still have some hair left in my head.. you know school starts next thursday for them.. I’ll have 2 kids in school this year.. WOO HOO!!! I’ll be upset about my son but WOO HOO~!
OH! And remind me to tell you guys about my sons drs appt with the “behavioral management” doctor.. It went well..
I love blogging too. Eh, so what if the fad is over. I prefer to do things away from the crowd!
Michele sent me!
i LOVE blogging, and i might have joined in it too late, but i don’t care!
i love reading blogs and writing in mine, and i’ve been thinking about zoot’s post a lot as well!
i’m here via michele’s, and i hope you have a fabulous day!
Hi Ivy, I came over to thank you for sharing your birth experience on my site…and then saw my name in your post. Thank you so much for your confidence in me and your kind words. It means more than you will know. Did you know that I was “Sherry who doesn’t have a blog but people think she should’s” sister? She shows up on my blog…in a comment, post, or photo from time to time. I plan to check out the other blogs you mention. Also, I guess it’s because I’m out in the sticks, blogging is still sort of new/cool…and gmail?! just now starting to hear about it…but I’m still not sure what it is. And I’ve never even seen an IPOD!! (except on TV, I love the commerical with U2’s Bono dancing to it).
It’s never too late to start blogging and it truly is a wonderful outlet when you blog for yourself and not solely or the attention/approval of others. So far it looks as though you’re doing quite well for yourself.
Blog on!
(hello, Michele sent me)
- happy Friday.
I liked this!
Everyone has gmail except..ME!!! I tried to apply and they told me I had to be invited. If gmail is no longer cool, does that make me cool. Because I am feeling so uncool about it.
I just wrote a post about blogging at Michele’s if you are interested.
Hello from Michele’s!
Now I have to go tag Raehan too.
Thanks for posting a comment on my blog.
I like blogging because it gives me a chance to be the real me.

And PS…Ivy, if you don’t understand the part in my post about Sherry…Don’t worry…it’s because I was getting confused about another blog conversation…The c-section post is getting a good response…thanks for coming over.
In the same boat Ivy, I NINjoy blogging as well. Funny how it agrees with some and doesnt with others; different strokes.
TGIF and have a nice weekend.
Heh, you’re to sweet. I’m still waiting for those eyes of yours, btw!
OOOps Birgit.. i’ve got them just forgot to mail them.. On their way..
i agree… i find blogging quiet cathartic..even theraputic. so many posts since yesterday.. have to read thru them all:)feeling on the top huh!? Good for you! *HUGS*
That was a beautiful post. I agree with you completely about loving blogging. Now I’m off to read the other people you mentioned…although I already read and love Monty.
Aw Ivy, thanks for the shout out!
I’m glad I can give you the occasional giggle.
