Countries Revisited

December 10, 2012.

As I approached the end of my first blog year, I reviewed the number of countries that had at least one post read. 9 countries.

September 22,2013.

I look again in amazement. 32 countries.

Life Log

blog

/blôg/

A web site on which an individual or group of users record opinions, information,etc. on a regular basis.

—-

What is a blog? Defined by Google above. Defined by Webster below.

—-

“A Web site that contains an online personal journal with reflections, comments, and often hyperlinks provided by the writer; also : the contents of such a site”

—-

My definition, “a life log”.

—-

Documenting when your daughter spontaneously dawns her sunglasses.

—-

Remembering when you thought she was saying I Love You…but you soon realized that she was singing “I love you, tomorrow…” from Annie.

—-

Telling others of the times she stops in her tracks to say “I am so cute”.

—-

Making sure when she’s 16 she’ll always remember the hugs she loved to give.

—-

Taking time for mom to ease into her evening after the mandatory “2 books” before bedtime.

—-

Illustrating through words the excitement of a birthday! No matter who. No matter the present. Everything’s awesome! And there’s cake!

—-

Writing of the silly squat that she does when asking for toothpaste; she holds the toothbrush as low as possible until the gel is applied.

—-

Putting into words the visual of naked dolls around the house; all clothes get removed.

—-

Caring to share that my toddler loves lotion; flipping on her belly, she simply states “Lotion” with a back rub expectation.

—-

Being sure to log counting…1,2,3,5,6,7,9. Somewhere in the teens there’s an “eleven-teen” now.

—-

Sharing that we have had parking lot time-outs. Holding hands is a very important rule not to be broken.

—

Commenting on the covers that she puts on Mac. Showing she cares, it seems he could care less.

—

…sometimes with pictures to help tell the stories.

The right to write

To miss sharing a glance of life now saddens me.

To write is a privilege.

To write is a priority.

Having gapped even a couple of days in the documentation of life, I now offer the update.

First day of ponytails!

Throwing food on the floor, daily.

Having a timeout for throwing food on the floor, daily.

Helping Grandpa fix Mac’s kennel.

Elmo is still the perfect receptacle for snacks.

Who me? I am not guilty of playing “crazy bubble girl”.

Pals in the parking lot at Petco.

26 + 46 = 22

I didn’t think it was possible.

I didn’t think it was possible to max out a hard drive.

I didn’t think it was possible for an average Joe user to max out a hard drive.

I have now accomplished the feat.

At post 306, blogging has rapidly increased the rate at which my MacHD has filled.

With many videos and photos in two locations, in two formats, the impact was exponential.

Time for a drive clean-up.

Moving old files, 26 GB. Moving blog files, 46 GB

22% of the hard drive space open once again.

Room, now, for scripting the blogs of 2013.
