Meta post

I never understood how people who'd blogged for a long time could just up and quit.  Once a writer, always a writer, right?  Anyway, I think I'm starting to get it.  There isn't much about my life that strikes me as bloggable - which is not to say that interesting things don't happen - I do live in the Little People, Big World stomping ground, after all.  It's just that I can't post about bloggable events without violating a confidence (client or otherwise), risk offending family (like, say, this post did about my parents' poor behavior at my sister's wedding), or terrify would-be future employers (why I haven't reviewed my reads of The God Delusion and God is not Great). I would love to expose the foibles of some of my attorney colleagues, but that's bad mojo  and not terribly professional. 

That leaves me with very little besides baby stories, home improvement, work whining, descriptions of getting sick, and maybe some pictures of my garden for the few readers who might remember that I love digging around in the dirt and killing slugs.  As much as I turn my nose up at anonymous blogging, I'd kill for a good anonymous platform on one of my bad days. 

So I started a blog just for Eden.  I am working on a couple of blog ideas that I would love to turn into books but I'm not going to post about them until they're a bit more established (but do look for them as unannounced links in the blogroll in the next few weeks).  I am really, really toying with starting an anonymous blog, too. 

This weekend we're expecting lovely weather, so:

• I want to go to the zoo this weekend with the Peach.
• I want to garden!
• I want to finish sanding, painting, and putting polyurethane on the china cabinet I am repurposing for Peach's bedroom. 
• I want to clear out the garage (a bit more).
• I want to finish a response to a motion for summary judgment.

See?  The usual.

There's a reason why I keep a semi-anonymous blog . . . I love bashing people!

I keep mine sort of anonymous for similar reasons. One main reason is that if I wrote only about people I don't know, I wouldn't have many things to say.
