EXACTLY!

I really enjoyed reading this today.  No, I am not someone who people around town know as "momto5minnies", but I totally got how the internet me and the real everyday life me are just a small part of who I really am.  I think I know who I am (most of the time), but only GOD knows EVERYTHING about me.  

My voice here is probably a lot more reflective and open than what it would be in real life, but I think that is because I am much better at writing my feelings than saying them out loud.  That is, unless you talk with my husband who would say that I am quite the talker when it comes to saying what goes on in my head ... but that's just to him ;)

Interesting ...  

What is YOUR VOICE like here and there?

I loved your post. I am still trying to find my voice on my blog, but I think it is a place where you can say things that you wouldn't be able to say in your real life.

In life I am much quieter and shy than I am in blogland. I think it is a great outlet to express myself. I have learned so many things from people I have met here. People I would never meet in real life. It has really brought alot of joy to my life.

Have a great night!

I started to read it and realized that it has part of what I am writing in response to a Meme and I don't want it too look like I "copied."
As you can probably guess...I can be a little loud. My voice is low.
I laugh a lot.

Hi! Thanks for your comment over on my blog! It's so nice to meet new bloggers!

On my blog, I try (oh, how I try) to be light-hearted and funny. I worry about many of the same things that you have on the list from your most current post (i.e. the economy, my child, my fast-paced life), so I use my blog to lighten my load and have fun.

I wish that I can be more open and reflective, but I think that I'm really to afraid to put it all out there for everyone to read. And even if I tried, I think that it would come out all jumbled and confusing. I'll just stick with the funny!

Hope you have a great weekend!

I tend to be more melancholic in real life. But I want my blog to focus on the light side of life. The funny, the ironic. But I can't keep that NY sarcasm out of it. It really is part of me.
It took me 2 years to find my "blogger" voice. It definitely reflects what is going through my head. But I may or may not be brave enough in real life to actually say it.
Does that make sense?

Momto5minnies meets the Pioneer Woman!

I read her blog and knew that she was coming into town for her book signing and I thought about going, but I also knew it was the day that I was getting my braces off (MONDAY 11/9). On Sunday night before, my husband made a quick trip to Walmart and brought home a flyer saying how Ree Drummond (The Pioneer Woman) was coming the next day. I'm not sure if my husband was more excited about me getting my braces off the next day or having me MEET THE PIONEER WOMAN. I guess I really did want to go, but now I HAD TO GO! Monday was a crazy day ... jitters in the am 4.6 mile run to make me feel relaxed (it was also my longest run yet) drop the 12 year old at her homeschool art class quick trip to Walmart (to see if there were Pioneer Woman cookbooks ... no luck, but my husband picked me up a few ... I'm gifting some for Christmas). home to throw a pot roast in the crockpot braces removal at 11:30am dentist visit at 1pm usual afterschool chaos of swim team home for a 30 minute rest wa...

A scattered post ...

I throw myself into stuff all the time.  It can be anything from the start of a swim season, a new school year, the election, a vacation, an exercise routine etc.  I'm kind of in a phase where I really don't know what my focus should be.  I turned on the television and honestly, I have no idea what is on this fall season ... NO IDEA AT ALL .  If I watched television in the past few months, it was something kid related or Fox News. I NEED A NEW FOCUS. My current thoughts  ... reading a fictional, just for fun book stepping up my exercise routine thinking about our Christmas wish lists and shopping baking more ... I really am slacking in this area ways to save money so that we can get a new (second) washer and dryer for the upstairs (not a fancy kind because this would mostly be used by my oldest two children)... I actually have hookups. I wonder if a lot of people go through a sort of "lull" period this time of the year.  Surely it doesn't last long with the start ...

Not a lot has changed ...

As a puppy he always liked a warm spot. We call Comet our "close talker" (from Seinfeld) because he is in your face and always a little too close for our comfort level. The girls don't seem to mind, but it can be a little annoying for my husband and I. Really, he is a fabulous dog. He listens well and is so gentle with everyone. *We don't let Comet on furniture ... except for the playroom/schoolroom couch. There he enjoys relaxing and being read to by one of the girls. SPOILED POOCH!
