My sister and I are going through this crazy blogging stage in our lives. Let me explain:
When I was younger and I heard about people having blogs and writing about their lives online, I always thought that it was dumb. I mean, who really wants and online journal for everyone to read? And even more importantly, who thinks that people actually are interested? I never wanted anyone to read my "Dear Diary, Austin Larmer breathed on me today; he's so cute" entries. So why make it public for the entire world to see and and give them leverage to make fun of you? (I still to this day get teased about having a crush on Austin Larmer for a day which ended quickly when my brother and sister harassed me about it. Yet, 20 years later, my family still giggles about it.) Now, here's the part where I am going crazy. Most days, I just walk around town and do my normal things and I constantly think, "I need to blog about that!" This occurs a handful of times each day. But every time, I think, who would even care? Nobody, except for my sister Amanda who would read it even if she didn't care, then call me and laugh at me about it.

However, that didn't stop me from starting the "observations about nothing" blog. If you don't read it, I don't care. Sometimes I just want to write about stuff, but I definitely don't want to clog up our nice family blog with boring entries such as "A Really Big House". And that's where observations about nothing comes in.
Here, this is for you Amanda.
Love it! Keep it up. I forgot about Austin, thanks for reminding me!
