I started an email newsletter I sent out weekly called the Ford Crier shortly after Erika was born --it eventually went to a yearly event for my family and friends. I started blogging on Monday, April 18, 2005 for a few friends and my mom. I used angelfire where my homepage and website are hosted. My old angelfire blog is now deleted but transfered to this one.
In May 2007 a company from the UK asked me to blog for them and that is how I found typepad. To get to that sight you needed a password, so at first I was pretty open about the stuff I shared there. I wrote entries from May through August for GFK but the site has since be removed before I was able to copy all of the entries (everything from June and July '07 is gone).
I love blogging... sure it's still for others although I only know a few friends who read my blog regularly. Honestly I am blogging for myself now... it is like painting or taking pictures. I am trying to make an impression with my words (I purposely leave a lot of details out). There is a part of me that loves writing and still hopes to write a book. This is learning experience for me... I go back and edit posts, occasionally delete them. Words are so much like paint, you can make them look and feel pretty or you can just toss it across a page like vomit and it's still kind of interesting (sometimes).
