Sigh….

I should blog more often…. i realized it’s been quite awhile since my last post, but i think i get into a kind of mental ignoring state after I’ve blogged a few times in a relatively short amount of time. I’m kind of like “there, I’ve just blogged a lot so I don’t have to think about it for awhile!” and then I don’t blog for weeks without realizing it. Why is blogging this love/hate thing? Or rather, a want to/obligated to thing? Am I the only one who feels this way? I seem to hear from other people “I know, I need to blog more, but I’m too busy/tired/stressed/on vacation/sick/etc….” so I think there are other ambivalent bloggers out there… It’s not just me! I really like blogging, and especially getting comments (though there again, I don’t comment enough on other people’s blogs, though I read them fanatically and get really annoyed when there’s nothing new to read) but I’ve found it hard to make it a routine. Perhaps because there are always other things that need to be done… working, cleaning the house, exercising, making dinner, playing with the puppy (who is currently lying under the chair chewing on the legs passing puppy gas… peeyew!) that seem more urgent. Although why do I feel that this is something I need to do? Is it because I don’t get enough enjoyment out of it simply by doing it for it’s own sake?

Sigh… blogging motivation - what is it and where does it come from? I have a psychology degree, after all, so I’d imagine I could come up with some psychoblather that’s not only plausible sounding but entirely likely to be correct, but that would only apply to other people, not to me, because it’s so much easier to see why other people do or don’t do things than it is for me to have insight into myself. This must be why therapists have to go to other therapists to figure themselves out. Seems rather silly though… hopefully they give each other professional discounts!

Anywhoo, the puppy had progressed from chewing on the chair to playing tug of war with my pajama pants, so it’s time for me to pay attention to him I think!
