In 20 days, I will have had a blog for FIVE YEARS!  It&#8217;s really hard to believe I&#8217;ve been on-line that long.<br \/>\nA friend from the Red Hatters once likened my blog to the diary which Samuel Pepys kept.  We both cover the minutia of our lives.  On rare occasions, I get on the soap box, but for the most part, this is a journal of my days.<br \/>\nToday as I browsed through my friend&#8217;s blogs, I discovered that one was writing about the  prevention of dissemination of information about <a href=\"http:\/\/jelliclecat.typepad.com\/\">contraception and abortion,<\/a> another was writing about her<a href=\"http:\/\/momentaftermoment.blogspot.com\/\"> family<\/a> honoring those lost in World War II.  Another of my <a href=\"http:\/\/joyofsix.typepad.com\/joyofsix\/\">blogging friends<\/a> spends her days working for Blogher, and so on, and so on, and so on.  Nothing earthshaking is happening on my blog, but these ladies are clearly interested in what&#8217;s going on around them, and not afraid to discuss it.<br \/>\nI may be a little jealous of their wider horizons, but there&#8217;s nothing keeping me from following their lead.  Sooner or later, I&#8217;ll get there.  Until then, you can continue to expect to see me whining about weeding, and complaining about poison ivy, kvetching about the lack of time to quilt, and carping about the demands of the house and office.<br \/>\nWhen it gets old, tell me to lighten up! ( And I&#8217;ll just go off and sulk for a bit. *G*).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Out of curiosity, I scrolled down through my archives to see when I started blogging.
