A Whole New World

I have come to discover what all of the fuss is about. Blog, Blog, Blog seems to pop up all around me, like an incessant buzzing in my ear. I have tried to pretend that I don't hear it, that I am unmovable from my nice happy world of simplistic technology, staunchly set in my ways with "I don't need to know about BLOGGING" held out in front of me, like a shield protecting me from this new and odd thing threatening to suck me in and trap me in front of the computer constantly writing, editing, posting, tracking, until all that I am is a string of poorly conceived posts that stretch on and on. I have finally given in to the urge, the curiosity, the desire to know more: What is the new world that my friends speak of, is it so different, so addictive, should I try it, am I strong enough to resist its temptation lest housework pile up around me, dirty dishes and clothes threatening to topple over and bury us alive? Will my beloved daughter know me only as an internet feed titled Jenna's Jots, will her only memories of me be a dark silhouette in front of a glaring white screen, my voice replaced with the sound of clicking keys?

Wow, you're still reading, that's impressive, you must really think I have something astonishingly insightful to say :)

Seriously I can see myself getting stuck in front of the computer, dishes dirty, dinner burning, ignoring the glares from my husband in order to add another post to my blog. Hopefully that won't happen, hopefully I can juggle the housework and child and blogging and not incure the wrath of the housecleaning gods, while at the same time appeasing the computer gods, walking a fine line down the middle of two competing worlds. We'll just have to see.
