Okay, I figured this blog would be able to take care of many birds with one BIG stone!
-My friends and family would be able to see what's going on in our lives.
-I can tell everyone to look at the new pictures on the blog.
-I can print out entries for my journal so Derek can't be mad at me anymore--he hates that I'm not great at keeping a journal! :)
-I can rant and rave about nothing and not bother anyone (does anyone really read these things anyway!)
Hopefully the advantages outweigh the risks!
RISKS
-No one will ever talk to me again.
-People will know how crazy I really am (if they actually read this thing).
I weigh the risks vs. the advantages thanks to good training by Derek. Whenever I used to have an anxiety attack about something, he would ask, "What's the worst possible thing that could happen?" He did have to change that question slightly because of my vivid imagination. His new question is, "What is the worst thing that would probably happen?" Thank you, Derek! :)
Now off to make lunch!
