It has been a strange week around my house and today actually feels like Tuesday. The boys were out of school Monday - Wednesday because of a yearly teacher's conference. It is a nice little break before the real break. So, yesterday was Monday and today feels like Tuesday not Friday. You know that great euphoria you feel on Friday because the weekend is finally here? No TGIF today, but IGIF (I'm glad it's Friday) will do!
I am having blogging issues. I started this blog because I wanted to express myself! Very simple, huh? I am a sanguine and one of those traits is always wanting to make everyone happy. Well, everyone knows that is simply impossible! The one thing I don't want to think about when blogging is entertaining everyone, but I do. I analyze to death every post I am going to write about so therefore I don't post. They are never good enough, creative enough, funny enough. By the way, I am also somewhat of a perfectionist of sorts. I should never have cared that some people don't read my blog anymore because I don't bring"wonder and awe" to their existence. I don't want to care that what I wrote isn't appropriate or "right". It shouldn't matter if I think that you really don't want to hear about my dog Kasey or that today doesn't feel like Friday. I will post whatever the hell I want to post! How is that for being assertive? (By the way, I don't use profanity, just thought it worked nicely with the point I am making!)
So, I am facing my blogging fears head on....... I will post what comes to my heart..... no matter what the cost...... no matter how appropriate..... wonder or no wonder.....happiness or sadness.... boring or exciting......it will be posted!
Whew, it feels good to get that off my chest........
I have a title for my "other blog". It is "the runner inside of me". I had hoped to post a diary of my training for the half marathon and other running tidbits. I am going to begin today even though we race in ten days! So, check it out!

blessings on your weekend! hugs, saija
I know, I am absolutely insane, aren't I? I can't even keep up with this one! Thanks for your hello and hug today! I appreciate you greatly!
I feel that the less you censor yourself, readers get a better sense of who you are. Let 'r rip!! :)
Peg, I absolutely think you shouldn't spend a second worrying about your blog! I started my blog knowing and intending that it was going to be about whatever I wanted it to be about, and I was going to say whatever I wanted to say.
Don't worry about or over-analyze your posts. Express yourself, and people will enjoy and be blessed. :)
Thank you Kristin and Cindy for your great comments!
You both offer great advice, as always!
