help! my blog is gasping for life!

for someone that once found blogging to be the most exciting thing since sliced bread, i now find myself veering ever closer to hitting the "delete blog" button. originally, i had illusions of grandeur and wanted to form a group blog with some other smart people i knew. of course, the aforementioned smart people are often prone to debilitating bouts of procrastination, thus resulting in yet another imcomplete project. a pipe dream you might say. nonetheless, over a year ago, i decided to form my own blog and see what happened. well, it ended up being a personal diary of sorts. a journal of every mundane, boring ass thing that has ever happened to me while residing in the middle of ny state. and, trust me, my geographical location has never fallen short of providing me loads of boring material to blog about. for example, "today, another leaf fell from the tree." or, "there are tiny strawberries growing in the yard". let's not forget that where i reside, we don't even have a local paper to make fun of . . . just a weekly piece of local gossip that costs a buck and takes 30 seconds to peruse while cruising the local grocery store (which just returned this summer).

ah. i've also spent countless entries blogging about the hound dog we acquired (to stave off further boredom) in march -- complete with pics. to update: the old hound ended up in the hospital recently for chewing/ingesting stuffing from his favorite toy. he's ok now, but toyless. see what i mean? the fun never ceases around these parts.

i depart on an international journey in 9 days. perhaps i'll find the time to blog from there . . . if not, maybe my travel adventures will give me some more material for this here journal of mine.

we can only hope.

I, too, have failed to adequately blog. But i'm not giving up yet! we must press on...don't end the blog yet! besides, i like hearing about the tiny strawberries. We'll have to make a new year's resolution maybe, but we must blog.
