I'm experiencing outgoing information overload! As of tonight, I have a personal blog, a jewelry website blog, a Flickr photo account, a family Yahoo message board, a regular MySpace account, a jewelry MySpace account, and a Livejournal blog account. Anyone else out there half as out of control as me? MySpace/Facebook peeps, help me not feel like a big cyber-nerd!

I've just got too much going on, meaning that I don't get to write anything of much substance on any one site- instead try to visit all of them every so often and go through spurts like writing here 4 days a week, followed by two weeks of silenece. I need to cut back, and started with my m.w. MySpace account. There are some things, though, that I just can't get rid of. Like this space. I have no idea how many people read this blog. I know I've got a handful of regulars who comment, but I wonder if certain people still read or how many people I don't think know about this place actually stop by this blog. It's probably just me and the 5 to 6 regular bloggers-- or that's what I'll keep telling myself. Although it's fun to share with an audience, I have always been the type to prefer small audiences.

I have been blogging at LiveJournal since April 2001- although at the time, it was my "online journal" rather than my blog. Isn't that crazy? It's fun to read back to the time when I was falling in love with my boyfriend and finding my true passion.


I will soon be training for a half-marathon, getting ready for potentially two jewelry shows this summer, and trying to balance work and finding time to spend with my love. I need to find a good balance. Somehow checking 7 websites every night just doesn't seem to fit into what I envision my summer as being. I want to get out and go climbing and climb mountains and climb the hill to the ice cream shop instead.

I know that I have a few sisters that read your blog and look at pictures but never have signed up to the blog it self. It gets hard to read everything before you hit the hay every night doesn't it. I need to get better also I have been bad since the first of the year....

I'm right there with ya on all of the online accounts/picture sites/blogs etc, etc!!! It is fun, but also a lot of work and very time consuming. Today my friend asked me what I do with myself during the evenings and my pathetic answer was that I sit on the internet for hours! Maybe it's time to ground myself from it except for a 1/2 hour each night or something! I'm sure I would get a lot more done!
