The problem with blogging is that you have to keep up with it. As I'm discovering, if you don't post from time to time, people lose interest in your blog and you basically end up talking to yourself.
This shouldn't be a problem for me since I love writing and am endlessly irritated by the world. Right? Well, maybe not. Now that I have over a month off from law school with nothing to do but fill out my tedious bar application, my brain feels like it's rotting off its stem. Worse, the weather outside is so foggy it's dangerous to drive (we had a 30-car pileup on the highway nearest my house this afternoon), so I've been housebound for two days. Nothing dulls my brain like lack of adventure.
However, I do have a cheap trick up my sleeve that may buy me some time with my faithful readers (all three of you). In 2002, before I went to college, got my degree, came to law school, got pregnant and became a genuine grown-up person, I took a solo, fourteen-month, round-the-world rock climbing trip. Being alone for so long, I was starved for contact from my friends and sent home regular reports of my time on the road. Given that exactly zero of my old friends ever reads my blog (thanks guys), I feel that maybe I can get away with posting one of these old e-mails from time to time, purely as a stopgap measure while my brain regenerates.
I feel like I'm giving a furiously hungry baby a pacifier while I search frantically for his bottle. I promise I'll keep it to a minimum, and if you hate it, feel free to leave a comment saying so.

Hey. I found your blog thru Mom of the Year...Not. I agree about the keeping up with the blog to keep readers. Although, I talk to myself all the time. Not just on my blog...but in real life too.
Wow. A solo rock-climbing trip around that world. That sounds pretty cool. I am way too big of a chicken to do anything like that. :)
I think it's a great idea to post those past emails! Count me in!!!
Hope you survive your fog... we are having 40 degree weather (practically shorts weather here), so it's all slushy and dirty and GROSS. But seriously, I am NOT complaining!
I take umbrage at your comment that exactly zero of your old friends read your blog. Pbbbblllllllllt. I was just doing a one-sided catch up with you via the blog batch since December.
