THINKING: about what dan wrote the other day about blogging. and wondering why i do it (blog). i know it's not for the same reason (or with the style) that dan does it - at least not to that extent. before i started blogging, i would from time to time send an e-mail to my family that would resemble a post. i had something i wanted to say - and no outlet.
FEELING: oh, i don't know, kind of dissatisfied with this blogging "thing." i don't know why. just don't feel like posting or commenting. ennui. yuck.
READING: another marcus didius falco (author: lindsay davis) novel. fun, light, summer reading. spenser in ancient rome. fun.
WATCHING: the rain POURING outside.
HOPING: the travel agent can work up a nice thanksgiving trip to rome for bill and me and several of his cousins and their spouses.
WANTING: really, REALLY, wanting to go to rome.
PISSED OFF ABOUT: cheney, halliburton. iraq. that's enough, right?
LOOKING FORWARD TO: oh, i don't know. tuesday's my 30th wedding anniversary. i think i'll take the day off. maybe we can do something special. got any ideas?
REGRETTING: things i've said. things i didn't say. not things i've done. it's usually my mouth that gets me into trouble.

I've heard it said that it's better to regret your acts than your omissions. I guess that depends on the acts in question.
In my family we used to send out "dear all" letters, to my aunt and uncle and their kids, the grandparents, and my branch. Everybody would get a carbon (yes, typed with carbon paper) copy of the same letter, crammed with boring little notes about the weather and crap like that. Three pages, single spaced, every day from all three branches of the family. It got so I couldn't not overexpress myself.
And as for having any kind of style with all this, I'm just glad you can't see what I'm wearing.
Posted by: dan at June 2, 2004 08:48 PMI have had somewhat the same feeling of blogging. I think it is because I fear no one will think I am funny or worse boring. But then I think oh give it a chance see what happens. I have met some really interesting, caring, and down right funny people. I really am having fun and learning new things (my favorite thing in the whole world). I think you should have a scavenger hunt for your 30th birthday. I saw someone do that on TV, it is how he proposed. Have each thing you have him look for represent a year in your lives together. Just a thought. Good luck and Happy Anniversary.
Posted by: Becky at June 2, 2004 10:43 PMWell I hope you just don't disappear! Just post when you feel like it .. we'll be here. Please let us know how your anniverary goes though. I mean we've been for the ride this far ;d
Rome sounds like a great trip. You can be like that commercial when she keeps saying "I love this man, I love this man" in a middle of a piazza.
Posted by: Charlene at June 2, 2004 10:58 PMFeeling: Sad if you ever want to give up blogging as I will miss you. Reading: Blogs and "How Does She Do That". Watching: JAG. Hoping: You won't give up blogging. Wanting: You and Bill to get a real good deal to Rome. Pissed Off: About Iraq and American politics. Looking forward to: Hearing your tales about your trip to Rome and sharing mine on my holiday to Norway and London. Regretting: The day you ever think of giving up blogging. See the pattern? Puleeease don't give up blogging.
