So, I've been stuck in a motivation black hole. I'm not depressed enough (nor have I been since college) to *need* to post/write daily like I did when I first got xanga. But I'm not motivated (manic?) enough to *want* to post/write daily.
But, now that school is out and I have no life until teacher workshops in August, I will be posting again. Goodness knows I need a hobby!
The challenge for me, however, is finding topics that are meaningful to me, but that I don't get hostile about... Education in important to me, but I get really frustrated and, well, hostile thinking about NCLB and the cesspool that is national education policy. Matters of faith and Christianity are important to me, but after subscribing to Revelife for a year, I have found that there is little point to it... since everything turns into an argument, people are really stubborn, and almost no one really joins the discussions to actually *discuss*. There is definitely a lack of humility in this area.
I'll probably spend most of my time posting on these two topics, anyway. It's what I know, and I write what I know.

Hey hun, I just read your post below and I am so incredibly sorry for your loss, even though I know it was a little while ago. I can't imagine what that was like, but at the very least you had your family to support you. I hope you don't mind my asking but, how far along were you? Again I can't imagine what you felt and still feel, but thank the Lord that He is a giver of peace and of new life. I truly pray that whenever you get pregnant next that your little child will grow strong and healthy and happy.
i cannot stop laughing at your background and profile picture. hahahhahaha oh man, that made my day =)
@YouTOme - I'm glad. Church Lady is one of my favorite SNL characters of all time.
@skittler335 - I was about 7 weeks along. Not far, but I was a mother as soon as the test came back positive. I was blessed that it happened at home in ND, not out here in Idaho. I think the distance would have been even more devastating...
Thank you for your prayers. You are a blessing.
@lifeofdory - i just read the comment above. i'm so very sorry to hear abou that. =/ i agree with you, you were a mother, attached to your baby -- and so your hopes and plans were crushed when that happened, i'm sure.
@lifeofdory - re: church lady. yeah, i love dana carvey... he does an awesome "choppin' broccoli"/piano playing rock star bit.
I have been in Xanga for over a year and that is lots of fun for me and I am 75 and married 53 years!!
I have tried Revelife and met some interesting people. I have a low key post daily and try very hard to stay away from the controversies. I do jump in to a few of the publicized posting. They seem directed to young people. lol
I got into one stormy post in xanga a long time ago and I made sure that did not happen.
I do not know what the NCLB is, so that shows you my level of ignorance. lol
Have a nice day.
