Holidailies

See that fancy little button up there? I signed up for holidailies! (Just don't click that image looking for the holidailies link yet, because I haven't figured out how to link an image to a web site. I'll work on that. In the meantime, click here to go to the site: Holidailies.) This means that I'll be updating every day from December 7 to January 6 (I think those are the dates). Yay! I'm very excited about this for some reason. I hope I'll gain a few readers out of it (although my three current readers are all very dear to me!). And I know I'll be in good company. I've been reading online journals and blogs for a long time now - I started when I was working at Syracuse University, so probably since 1998 or '99. I was searching online for weight loss stuff, and stumbled across the weight loss journal of a woman who was living with her husband overseas. I had never heard of online journals before, but was fascinated with them. Eventualy I found out that there were journals out there that weren't focused on weight loss, and I found some very good ones. I've been reading Kymm, Xeney, Rob and Pamie the longest, I think, but have a list of no fewer than 15 others that I read regularly, too. It's just such a unique medium - to be able to go online and read about the personal lives of real people who live all over the world. It's amazing.

Anyway, it took me until October to finally decide that I wanted to throw my hat into the online journal ring. It remains to be seen if I have the staying power of the people mentioned above(Kymm has been posting online since the very early days of journals, and almost daily, which is amazing). I hope to stick around for a while, anyway. And now we'll see how good I am at posting every day! Make sure to check back in December to see how I do.
