To blog or not to blog, that is indeed the question for me!  So, three months ago, I asked for my very own blog.  It just seemed like the cool thing to do!  Heck, everyone else had one!  So, I got one too and it was sweetly called, “Carrie’s Corner”.  Right off the bat, I did a blog about my 4-part series, called “Dying for Drugs” and another sort of behind-the-scenes blog about the Portsmouth school shooting. 

Then, came the blogger’s block!  I was stumped!  I had no idea what to blog about and the pressure was horrendous!  Here, Jessica has this great blog about the cool, single, hip woman lifestyle and has cute entries on everything about her weight loss to her dog.  Then, Penny has the best stories on motherhood.  Who could top those?  Of course, Tony is the smartest man in the world when it comes to weather (wouldn’t dare try to compete with that) and then there’s little ole me.  What do I have to blog about and why on earth did I ask for a blog???

Truth be told, it’s not a lack of interesting topics to blog about, but too many.  There’s so much going on in my head, I can’t seem to narrow it all down.  I’m always thinking about great blogging topics, but apparently none of it is making it to print because I recently received this email from our webman: 

Carrie,

Your blog has been removed from the blog page due to no new postings.  A blog hasn’t been posted since 2/8.  Please let me know when you post a new one and I’ll re-add it to our site.

Thanks,

Mike

No, thank YOU Mike!  What a blow!  So, I guess it’s either blog or get off the site!  So, here I am blogging about nothing trying to find my niche.  What I really want to blog about would probably get me into some hot water like who I think should be President of the United States and why.  I’ve read the comments on our website in regards to the various presidential candidates and I can tell you our viewers aren’t ready for my opinion!!!  I would also LOVE to talk about race in our region and the current state of affairs.  Again, not a popular topic around here.  Then, there’s MY dog, Braxton.  Now, I have to be honest, I’m not the biggest dog lover, although I did pick out the dog (he’s a purebred West Highland Terrier) and we paid good money for him.  He’s absolutely adorable—really one of the cutest dogs you’ll ever see.  But, he’s turned out to be more of my husband’s best buddy than mine.  Maybe I’d like him more if I could just understand him!  … hmmm, maybe THAT’S the subject of my next blog!!!  Really, the things I go through with him are UNREAL! 

Wow!  Blogger’s block lifted!  Thank goodness! 

Stay tuned…

Peace, love and joy!

Carrie
