Okay, so I was on the MSN home page getting ready to log on and check Blogs, MySpace, Facebook, E-Mail etc when this article caught my eye: Top 10 Useless Body Parts. It was interesting that as I was reading, it was plain to see this article was clearly written from the science/evolution point of view. I was frustrated that an article I thought would be lighthearted turned out to spark such a debate on the MSN Coffee Break message board. This is a site I'd never visited before but given the topic and my realization that there would most certainly be a debate on it, I decided to take a gander.
WHOA! There are some really opinionated people out there. It made me sad to read the comments. Christians arguing their belief in God and others talking about their belief in evolution and opinions on what they refer to as "the 'theory' of Biblical Wacky-Doodieness" ... what? Really rude comments, from both sides.
Anyway, I was just hoping to find some funny anecdotes about which body parts serve no obvious purpose or seem to annoy us, but instead stumbled upon what turned into a debate about creation vs. evolution.
Bummer.

Excuses For Not Updating My Blog...
In no particular order...
#1 - TIMELINES
I have this frustrating need to have accurate timelines. Of course I do many things during the day/weeks worthy of blogging about but by the time I sit down to do it...too much time has passed. BUT...I found a solution! I can change the date of my posts! So, from time to time I may be tricky and enter a back-post...check out my Valentine's Day post created after Kenzie's B-day and inserted before. This is a great way for me to look like I'm on task, keep my timelines accurate and sneak in a few more posts than you may think!
#2 - PHOTOS
I love entering photos in my posts...this means I feel like I need to hire the paparazzi to follow me around and document EVERYTHING I do! (Wouldn't that be kind of fun!? People would think I'm famous!) So, I have many Blogging ideas...I just find them much more interesting if they have photos to go along with them.
#3 - CONTENT
I love to read Blogs!! This is a problem for me because as many as I read, I run out of time/desire to update my own. I LOVE what others have to say and when I get done reading theirs I feel like I have NOTHING to say! I feel like my life, wisdom, thoughts, etc are so lame. I'm satisfied to just read others, comment on others and update mine when something significant happens.
#4 - AVID READERS
The last excuse I will bore you with (if you're still reading that is....) is the lack of avid readers/visitors to my blog. I thank those of you who have stopped by, left a comment or two and let me know you're out there! I owe apologies to Angie, my sister, who checks my blog daily...about 5 times a day! And to Joanne, who has asked for updates - I hope you haven't given up on me!! :) Thank you to others who have dropped by from time-to-time as well. If you're just a lurker, come on out from behind that computer of yours and say "Hi!"...I'd love to know you're there!
So, stay tuned...I do have more posts coming!! Promise!!
