Blogger?

I had a conversation with a non-blogging pal yesterday.  We discussed the whole point of blogging.  Who is a blog for?  Why blog at all?  We were quite distracted by our wee parade of tots so we didn't come to much of a conclusion (I remember the days when I could finish a sentence without having to chase after a child heading towards the pond/road/poo...).  I didn't even get the chance to tell my friend that I have a secret blog.  Or to tell her why this blog is secret.  So I will instead blog about it.

My blog is a secret blog for two reasons.  The first is my husband's career.  If the secret little plan I am hatching was public it may inhibit his opportunities in his job.  He is great at his job and hence opportunities are always presenting themselves to him.  I love this but sometimes I also hate it.  I hate it because it makes picking up and moving or any other adventures a bit tricky.  It also means that his career will always come before mine because he is able to earn a lot more than I.  On the other hand I love it because he supports us so well without any complaint, he enjoys his job and most importantly I am able to be a stay-at-home-mum.  Contrary anyone?!

The second reason is more about myself.  This blog is for me.  The only person that knows about it is my darling husband and he is in on all my secret dreams.  We love to bounce fabulous ideas for the future off each other.  We are like kids with our incredicle, completely impractical and almost (almost) impossible ideas for the future.  I am putting these little dreams of mine(ours?) into some kind of concrete* form so I can look at them and start to believe.  Once I believe, I KNOW I can make them happen!

That brings me back to the question 'who is a blog for?'.  This blog in particular is for me.  It is a diary* if anything.  It is my secret little place of fabulous, incredible, impractical and almost impossible ideas.  It is my little page of dreams that I am hiding out there in the world wide web.

So, who blogs?  I guess I do!

*Hmmmm, not sure if specks of colour on a screen are concrete but not techy enough to know exactly what is going on with this whole bizarre internet thing-oviously.

*I have since learned  that there are different kinds of blogs, blow me down!  One such kind is a DIARY BLOG.  I guess I am a diary blogger :)
