Several months ago, I started blogging. It was interesting, fun… I liked it. It didn’t really have a point… but so what. Then I quit my job, and blogging went from a once-in-a-while pastime to a more frequent pursuit, allowing me to VENT and ramble and feel like an adult for a few minutes a day. I started getting readers (whom I will forever love) and started wanting MORE readers (I’m greedy like that). So I applied to blog for the Seattle P.I… and was accepted.
Fun, lovely, wonderful, fabulous, DREAMY. I’ve been blogging with the P.I. for a month now. And I do love it.
But… I find that my posts are taking more time and thought than I sometimes have to expend, and are a bit less, err, “rough.” I feel compelled to stick to my topic rather than rambling on about nothing in particular. I have more readers, but less artistic freedom (at least in my mind). Not to mention the fact that the blogger tool used by the P.I. is archaic!
So, I’m back to occasional posting on this blog for those things that don’t seem fit for the Seattle P.I. demographic. If you’re looking for my best work (which, let’s face it, isn’t really that wonderful), stick with my blog on the P.I. If you’re looking for more off-the-cuff posting, I suppose this is the place for you.
So I’m changing the name of this blog to Adventures in Parenting , Director’s cut; (along with a spartan new look!) which is intended to imply: longer, less polished, more gritty. It probably SHOULD be called “Ravings of an Absolute and Total Madwoman”… but that’s taken.

I’m going to enjoy both your blogs. Now I’m just worried I haven’t subscribed to both of them.
Are you online right now? You blog has changed twice in two clicks?

Ah, what a kind soul you are. Yes, I’m online… madly changing colors and fonts. It’s a sickness.
