Why a blog.

I am kind of a closet person. Not about everything, just some things. Like coke. I really like to drink it but I don't like my kids to see me, so I hide. My favorite spot is in the garage-mostly because of ease of access. In the winter I keep a case of coke in there . The other spot I like is in the bathroom downstairs. It is not your normal bathroom, since there is not toilet, sink or shower there are no bathroom germs or smells or anything. It is mostly a storage room. Lately it has become a bit trickier to really enjoy my coke in there because we have been storing more stuff. I have to stand in just the right spot and suck my stomach in to get the door closed, once the door is closed I can exhale a bit and shift around. I can prop myself up against a futon we will most likely never use again but hang onto just in case. I can then relax and enjoy my can of coke, but not for too long because the futon leg happens to hit right about my head so I kind of have to hold my head at a funny angle to avoid being hit in the head. This kind of krinks my neck - but I can handle it. I often wonder why I love coke so much. I always get the diet caffine free kind, that means there is no sugar and no caffine. Since sugar or caffine are the ingredients usually associated with addictions I wonder what I am addicted too. I read the label to find out. Water, that is definately not it since I have to force myself to drink it. Carmel color-maybe-I like a lot of things that are the color of carmel. Aspartame, if I am correct I believe that is the stuff that makes it sweet. I think it is a chemical that causes cancer. I might be addicted to that but I hope not, I better find out because if that turns out to be the case I better purchase the cancer insurance the phone saleslady offered me yesterday. Phosphoric acid -never heard of that, think I will skip that one. Potassium benzoate - I actually have a feeling it is this one. I don't think it is widely known, but potassium benzoate protects taste, taste is very important to me- I could definately be addictided to a taste protector. Natural flavors - everything contains those and since I am not addicted to everything I must not be addicted to natural flavors. Citiric acid, since it is used to add a sour taste I think I can rule that one out. Well I have really gotten off on a tangent here I better get back to the topic at hand which is why I am writing this blog. I have been reading blogs for a while now. I like reading all kinds of blogs and I guess you could say I have had blog envy for a while. But I have been afraid to start one because I don't really want anyone to read it. I am not sure if there is too much purpose in writing a blog you don't want anyone reading but I decided to do it anyway. So I decided to make a blog and change all names and not let anyone know about it, (except my husband just saw and already laughed at me for it-so that plan is out) so I believe that makes me a closet blogger. What am I planning to blog about - nothing to exciting. I plan to write the truth mostly, and mostly nothing interesting ever happens. So here goes.. I guess I have suceeded in writing my first blog. I actually have lots of other blog enteries already written in my head. You see for the last few months I have kept a blog in my head and have carefully kept notes on a piece of notebook paper I keep hidden in my drawer. Maybe I will record some of those little musings. I don't know if anyone wil ever read these enteries. You know how we are supposed to keep a journal because some day our great grand kids will find it intersting. I think my great grand kids might find me kind of interesting, but mostly they will probably find me embarressing. Oh well I will be dead.

  1. Wow I didn't know how long this would be - it takes your writing and squishes it all into a skinny line that makes it super long. I guess I will have to practice my brevity.

  2. You can make it private so no one can read it unless you let them. You are a very good writer.
