Occasionally people ask me, "So, how's the blog going?"

I pitifully answer, "Well, I haven't really been adding to it.....I'm not sure if I'm really comfortable with the personal aspects of blogging...." or something like that.

Part of it is the feeling of, "Is anybody out there?!" and some guilt associated with presuming my life to be worthy of adding to the limitless banter on the web, even though one friend with an absolutely wonderful blog about her children assures me that my life is more interesting than the simple fact that I own no car.
And part of it is not knowing just how much one can reveal about one's life online without becoming vulnerable to some sort of invasion of privacy. Sheesh - Julius and I met on the internet - so you'd think I'd feel plenty savvy - but we used eHarmony, which I'd characterize as the most nit-pickingly careful and safe matching website out there....(for heterosexual people, I should note ... Honestly, I almost quit because this isn't fair but then I actually DID meet the love of my life so, well, I had to give 'em some credit)
Or maybe my reason for not posting on my blog since November is that I've had a ridiculously challenging school year and also the battery-charger for my digital camera died?
Well, at the moment I'm back, and maybe I'll even check in again before gittin' married in July.

Oh yeah - how could I forget? Julius bought a PRI-US! Did my own car-fasting have ANYTHING WHATSOEVER to do with it? Probably not - Julius has been quite keen on the hybrids for some time. Just one more reason I love you, Julius!
But our driving now feels even more guilt and worry-free. Life is so good.

There now. That wasn't so bad, now, was it?
