thoughts on blogging

I am continually amazed at how people can "religiously" blog every day. I can see how it would be addicting and, I must admit, other people's lives seem MUCH more interesting than mine. Especially because my life seems to consist of this on weekdays (depending on if we're starting in the AM or PM - i start my day in the PM):

approx 4p: wake up
approx 4p - 8p: hang w/ Oscar & Ziggy, watch movies, clean house
approx 8p: talk w/ Adam on Skype if he's home from work
9:30p: start getting ready for work
10p: leave for work
7a: get home from work, talk to Adam on Skype
approx 8a: go to sleep

Now, granted, I do have some thought processes throughout the day like normal people do, but nothing deep enough to blog about (at least I don't think so). I have noticed, however, that blogging is a great release. But sometimes I use blogs to reveal a little too much about what I'm going through. Just look at my first few blogs on myspace. They were all about how someone hurt me, how much I loved/liked someone, etc. Since then I've started revealing a lot less about myself in blogs, or at least I've been just as transparent, but a little more cryptic to protect myself and others. Maybe these changes in my blogs are also attributed to my growing up. I'm not sure. Writing a blog is great therapy, though.

Anyways, looking at my schedule, it just doesn't seem like there's enough going on to write about. Maybe my life is too boring. Or maybe I should pay more attention to what goes on in my day-to-day life and find what's special, what makes each day unique. Maybe I just need to open my eyes and bask in the wonder that is my life.
