And while there are plenty of mid-gens bucking tradition and opening FaceBook accounts and blogging regularly, I have had to accept my personal plodding as who I am and who I choose to remain. True blogging, the kind many of our kids, neices and nephews check in on and even do, along with FaceBook, is for the techno-savvy generation, or for those who've proven themselves able and willing to straddle the boundless chasm of those born into the computer age and those who learned as adults. I'm the latter. So don't confuse my minimal contributions with laziness or disinterest. Oh, no. I'm just too darn slow at the process for it to be worth the time, most of the time.
So I just want to know: How DO you all find time to contribute, read, and generally spend time on the computer?? I have no small children, only two teens to keep up with, I don't work full-time, and yet life is never an empty blog page, waiting to be filled... How do you do it?
...And here's a random visual for anyone like me, who needs a picture; Mel is the modest one, with friends, all going to a "Winter formal". I'm withholding further comments... She may want to say more eventually.

I totally understand the posting thing. It takes so much time. So lately I've just been checking others' blogs and commenting on theirs. How unfair is that? I hope to post some kind of an update soon. It all takes time, and priorities are what they are. I like the picture of Mel, a story or explanation would be fun!
i usually do the blogging thing first thing in the morning (when i don't have to babysit) or late in the evening when i'm all pooped from cleaning and taking care of kids and just want to sit and do less activity!
anyway...we definitely enjoy seeing the post that you do put up, so keep up doing what you do! (BTW, Spencer is Reid's best friend. they've known each other since they were born).
I'm lucky. I only have two kids and they both still take naps. (And my house probably isn't as clean as it should be since I do have a couple of hours almost every day.) But I too hope you keep plugging along, I love reading your entries... I always knew you were a good writer, so it's nice to read the proof on occasion!
I LOVE Melanie's outfit! AH, she is just my favorite! Don't worry Karla, you get enough done without the computer, I'd switch with you anyday!
well for an explination, these two girls are jessie steinwand and kelli remboldt. we went to our winter formal together. my date, derrick bisnett has spinal bifida(sp??) and cant stand for real long incriments of time(long enough for pictures obviousily) so he wheelchaired it up at the dance. we did manage to dance a couple of songs together. i think i was the only modest outfit at the whole dance.
