To Blog on Blogger or not to Blog on Blogger

My Blog is barely a page long and already I have growing pains. When I went to log onto my account today I received a message that my blog had been removed and that maybe I had violated one of the many conditions I agreed to when my account was opened. In other words...it's not us, it's you. As I tried to recall what I had written (2 posts didn't require too much recall) I could only come to one conclusion. Greg Allman had actually found my little bitty blog and objected to my using his picture! Should I be flattered? Appalled? Actually neither. After firing off a message on the link provided to delinquent account users, my blog was miraculously accessible! It couldn't have been my eloquent argument...I don't even think email could be that fast. So what is the answer? After reading the blogger help section I only have more questions...not answers. An impassioned daily plea from a mommyblogger who lost all of her memory blogs that she had been documenting went from desperate to down right mean. I really don't know if she got her account back or not. It's got me thinking that I better have a backup plan if I don't want to follow the mad mommyblogger path. I admit I'm only tracking this for myself, but tracking it I am. I shall now set my sights on backing up my information before getting in any deeper.
Are any of the other FREE blogging sites any better? We'll see.
Until then...I'll say Wen....(maybe)

Separated at Birth?

Greg

Me

Look closely...

I'm telling you we could be related...

I'm going to hate myself in the morning...

Well, maybe I won't hate me...but chances are someone will. These days it's not a question of me maybe being a miserable in the morning, it's something you can take to the bank. I know that there are a ton reasons that I could quote (read excuses here), but there are just as many reasons to be in a great mood. Personally I've really always thought it wasn't me, it was them. You know THEM. Those people who look at you like you just started speaking to them in a foreign language when you ask them a reasonable question. "Who put that there?", "Where's my stapler?", "What are you lookin at?" I was recently enlightened after reading an article on Greg Allman! Who knew Greg would be my inner guru? Certainly not me. One look at his pic and I couldn't help thinking that we could have been separated at birth! That is, except for a few years (his), a few pounds (mine), sex...(he has it - I don't..nah, he's male I'm not) and the facial hair. Oh wait, he does have a beard now! He's the pretty one:) His quote on being married for something like the 6th time (that's where earlier the sex assumption came from), was "I'm beginning to think that maybe it's me". I had a sudden flashback of co-workers avoiding me in the morning with a kind of "weave and duck" defence. I think the word's out...don't make eye contact and maybe she'll leave you alone. No such luck I'm sorry to say. You just have to let me get it out of my system so that we can all move on with the rest of our happy day! My opening line of "you know what bugs me?" is now greeted with a kind of "deer in the headlights" look from glazed over eyes that subconsciously dart to the clock on the wall as they utter...uh... no? At the very least I'm going to have to change my approach if I expect to ever have an audience again... and oh yes, I do. I prefer to look at myself as a person with strong opinions who wants to engage you in stimulating conversation,...not just someone who wants to argue..right? Well am I right? Just nod your head and as you duck and weave and I'll make my way to my next suspecting victim...
till next time..I'll say Wen

A new beginning?

Hello Everyone?
That's more for my vanity, as no one else knows that I have even started this blog. It's more just to get a few things off my chest and maybe having things down so that I'm answering for the statements I'm making.
I debated about the name of the blog as I soon realized that there are a few similar ones out there. But what the hell. Someone has to find me first, right? I'm hoping to be pretty honest here, without compromising any family or friends...or at the very least, making sure they don't find the site. This is a whole new experience for me and so I'm going to keep it low key until I get a little more comfortable with the format and layout. So Wendy...be prepared for some changes over the next few weeks. I hope to keep a promise to myself that I will try and make an entry at least every few days. That will be very difficult when I don't have anyone keeping an eye on me! Already I'm a bit behind schedule for my first post. This had more to do with my lack of knowledge in the blogging dept.
Till my next post...I'll say Wen...
