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?

Feeling every bit of 46 ... ugh!

When I was 45, I was feeling fabulous.   I was fit, energetic, and I thought I could easily pass for 40;) Age was just a number and I certainly didn't think I felt or looked my true age. Then February 11th came and I turned 46.   I have sciatica on my left side, my left knee is stiff, and I have plantar fasciitis in my right foot.   I've resorted to stretching all the time and popping the occasional anti-inflammatory.   There are dark circles under my eyes that I've had to start putting concealer on.   My hair is growing out from last years 45 year old short hair, but it's just in an awkward stage.  I can't decide if I want to cut it again or let it grow out.   I even thought of styling my hair differently by doing a different hair part.   That was a terrible idea because I was SHOCKED to see how much gray is now growing in the center of my scalp.  I also think my metabolism is slowing down because my mid section seems a little thicker ... ...

"The Loveliness of The Seashore"

What is the "Seashore" like? "Where the sky meets the sea ... The seashore is a place where the sea and the sky are the same smoky gray until ... the morning sun breaks through. The hot noonday sun feels warm as a big soft cat covering you. And it seems there is nothing in the world except the sound of the wind and the rising and falling of waves." Over at Dawn 's there are so many wonderful books suggested on her blog. Earlier this month I couldn't help but to peek at some of them ... thanks Dawn! *The above quote came from The Seashore Book . The ocean moves in and then moves out. This place where water, sky and earth meet is never the same. The tide comes in, the tide goes out, each wave that returns pushes against the incoming swell as it is pulled back into the endless depths and swallowed into the vastness of an unknown deep. Such is each day of our "daily" lives. I grew up enjoying the sights, sound, and the surf of the NY/Jersey "shor...

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 ...
