I find other people's failures inspiring. I know it sounds mean, but admit it. Doesn't it make you feel better about yourself to know that others in the world are failing just as much as you are?
Reading this article in The New York Times on Sunday gave me new hope. And it excused me from having to constantly make excuses for not blogging. After all, if you read the article, you'll see that it says 95% of blogs are abandoned. Is it so bad if I choose to compare myself to that 95%, rather than the Dooces of the world?
I mean, at least I haven't totally abandoned it. And I honestly have no plans to. There is just a limit to how much narcissism a person can log in a given day. Like they said, and like I said here, Twitter and Facebook are to blame.
So, thank you to those few readers who still visit me here. Mom. Mindy. Vanessa. Hi ladies. Thanks for your patience. And thanks to anyone else who wants to follow me on Twitter.

What Slouchy said!
I KNOW!! I have been gone since November, and this week decided I had to come back to blogging. Gives me a reason to write. :)
I can't tell you how many times I've considered abandoning my blog. But I'd probably delete it, not just leave it.
