Happy Blog-aversary to me

I started blogging in May 4, 2005 after my friend Pam had been blogging. I loved the idea of chronicling my experiences as a new Mom for myself and for my new amazing daughter. Today I still keep up with my now private "Crying Over Spilt Milk" blog, and this public "Alone on the Mountain Top" blog...and a few others, not too often. It's fun. I like it.

I've kept the blogging up, for us. I've met some amazing people in the four years I've been blogging. I've never felt like stopping. I have a block sometimes, often, but have never thought about calling it quits. I think because I'm blogging for me, for my girls... for my family. I like it that way. If you happen to find something interesting or comfortable or crazy - that's the icing on the cake... that's what they say anyway...I'd rather have some gourmet chocolate, thank you very much.
