My Wandering Mind (and Eyes)

(By Jen)

It’s so amazing these days how many people have blogs and personal websites. I have quite a few friends who have blogs and websites and it’s fun to check on them once and awhile to see what they are up to. Sometimes while checking these blogs, I find myself rabbit trailing off onto other people’s blogs that I don’t even know and reading about them and their lives..... and I have to say, I have found THE funniest/strangest things. (It can be addicting - do YOU ever find yourself doing this too?) You can find people who blog about everything – and I mean EVERYTHING. “Everything” meaning: people blogging about how they accidentally drank their own breast milk in the midst of chaos, to “look what kind of a deal I found at a garage sale today!” I literally could sit for hours in front of the computer reading random blogs and getting a good laugh out of the craziness/interestingness (is that even a word!?) of some people’s lives. Then I start to wonder..... “what random person that I really don’t know is looking at our blog?” “Do they get a kick out of what we blog about, or do Greg and I share a bunch of useless, lackluster information about our lives?” I would hate to have a boring blog. BUT, I would venture to say that we are somewhat entertaining because our “hits” are so high and we get emails quite frequently that say how much people have enjoyed reading a certain blog entry (although I feel it's good blog etiquette to “comment” on what you've read since it is almost like stalking someone when you read and don't comment.....). Nevertheless, maybe people do enjoy reading our blog just as much as I enjoy reading others’ blogs!? Whoever you are out there, do YOU have a fun blog I can check out? =) You will just be feeding my addiction if you tell me..... =) Anyhow, I am sure a lot of you are reading this at work or school, so GO START BEING PRODUCTIVE!! =)

They call it "blog-hopping". I am guilty of not leaving comments, but I have to say that someone I don't know regularly leaves comments on my blog and I actually find it a little creepy. :) So, because I am worried that someone else might think I am weird I don't do. But I guess I could start if I think of something more fascinating to say than I usually do.For now I will probably just stick with my friends!

I guess I am guilty of not leaving comments on people's blogs who I don't know either. ;) I agree, it's creepy.... we have had it done before too. Maybe I SHOULD HAVE said that "I feel it's good blog etiquette to "comment" when you read a friend or family's blog." There, I like that better. =)
