Excruciatingly Normal

Facebook and Twitter killed my blog

Sometime after moving to the desert and having the kiddo, I began to use Facebook and Twitter and abandoned my blog like a used, smelly one night stand. This saddens me. I believe this happened because I no longer felt I had anything important to say, as opposed to past postings. Or, I no longer had anything to say longer than 140 characters. I'm jealous of people who maintain a rocking blog over a period of years without slacking off. Perhaps I watch entirely too much television but I'm not willing to sacrifice watching an episode of The Vampire Diaries just to record my "drippy thoughts" (as my dad likes to categorize social media) on this blog. By the way, isn't Nina Dobrev just the dreamiest!?


Excruciatingly Normal has become the receptacle for spam comments

I totally deserve it for abandoning my blog for that whole silly caring-for-the-baby thing. Ok, and Facebook. So, if anyone is still reading, I am humbled and regretful of my blogging sloth.  Maybe if someone will make it easy for me to blog directly from my phone, I will do better (??).
