I thought blogging was for married people to update us singles on how happy married life can be. Soon there after, it is an update on their children and then you never see pictures of your friends ever again. Inspite of this, I must admit that I'm addicted to checking a large list of blogs every day and get this weird thrill each time someone has updated their blog.
So...now I have a blog. I have no husband. (uhm...honey..where are you?) I have no children. (Phew!) So what on earth am I doing?
Well, my old roommate, Kristen, started a blog and I realized how much I enjoyed reading her blogs. (granted, she is a lot funnier than I am.) And then this (slightly edited) conversation happened with another previous (now married) roommate:
Shauna: so when are you going to start a blog?
me: i feel dumb for starting a blog when i dont' have a family to blog
about but i did reserve a blog spot, i guess youw ould say
Shauna: WELL START POSTING i need more blogs to look at!
me: hmmmm....blogging seems like a huge commitemnt
Shauna: why? you can blog whenever you feel like it- it's not like
you have a deadline
me: i dont' know beacuse its always there. its like a kid
Shauna: lol, oh my goodness! you can post as much or as little as you want
allison!
me: i know, but still a commitment especially when i like people to
blog a lot and i'll have to figure out what design to do what a pain
hmmm
Shauna: ALLISON YOU HAVE TO! no complaining
me: i have to?!?!?! why?!?!?
Shauna: because i want u to do a blog i can look at!
And the rest is history...if any of you know Shauna, there is no use in arguing with her :)
Thus begins my life as a blogger...stay tuned...unless I start feeling commitment-phobic again...

Allison! Yes, it's S-S-Summertime... And YAY I have yet another blog to stalk while I'm at work. Yay yay yay. Now you must constantly post and make it funny and exciting. Or ELSE.
But no pressure.

the coolest redheaded little sister of Karlie that you know.
p.s. hey i have a blog and no husband or children, so we can be in that club together. :)
Hurray! Finally a blog! I am so excited to see your weekly updates! =) Good for you for making the commitment and starting a blog. Just have fun with it, Im pumped for you....and good for Shauna for pushing you over the edge and making you start one! =)
And it begins...
ps. Do you know about Google Reader? It alerts you to when a blog is updated. You don't even have to check the blog...it does it for you. Google Reader is my new best friend. After wikipedia that is.
umm now it is time for a new post, allison. but no pressure.
