Confessions of a blogmaker junkie

Yes. OK! The fact is, I am a blog maker junkie. Yup. I like to create blogs. I spend an inordinate amount of time doing this. You know, acquiring a new (free) account, thinking up a cute title, sweating over its description, scrutinizing my photo gallery for the perfect accompanying image, drooling over type colors and fonts, coordinating the whole with the determination and easy confidence of a television fashion consultant. Then, and then, I spend an even greater inordinate amount of time NOT WRITING anything. No posts. No drafts. Nothing. A black hole of internet silence. Leading, naturally, to the inevitable blog indignity -- DELETION. It's kind of like recreational fishing - throwing the darn thing back in the tank before it's even finished pivoting on the hook. Whoa. This has got to stop. For the fact is, I'm a pretty good talker. And a blog is, after all a kind of blah, blah, blahhhhhhhhg. n'est-ce pas? So, bear with me, dear reader (a hideously exclusive group of 1, aka "me") as I endeavor to rectify this situation with an
uncensored, sometimes silly, sometimes serious, but always I hope "authentic" voice on this, leahbarber'sblog, my one and only "keeper" since it's inception, as you can see by the handful of actual "older" posts.
