Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

I am at the computer too often and for too long.

I realized this a few weeks ago, but today I've finally decided to do something about it. The "something" is this blog is now going to become the "front page" for the baby blog, the blog that tells people when there's a new post on our private blog.

I enjoy blogging; it's a nice release for me. But it takes up so much of my time. Time I could spend mothering, or napping, or reading, or talking to actual human beings, or napping, or showering, or exercising, or napping. And really, as much as I enjoy posting my musings and receiving responses to those (I'll be honest and say comments are the best part), the more important blog is the one with pictures of an adorable baby who is thousands of miles away from our extended family. So those photo updates will be my main focus.

And if something fun or wonderful happens, I may post pictures of that on the baby blog. But what I really should do is call people and tell them myself. I've been using the computer as my lifeline to the outside world, but it's too impersonal; I forget to call people about cool, funny, etc. things because I've already posted those things for the world to see. When I get lonely I need to reach for my phone, not the one-way communication that is the Internet.

So there you have it. Effective immediately, this blog is just a notification tool.

I'll probably revamp my Facebooking soon too.
