pros and cons

okay robshep and other devoted followers... i know i've been a MAJOR slacker on my blogging responsibilities here lately, but i've been HEAVILY weighing the idea of wether or not I want to continue this little self-indulgent venture of mine. Here's the way I see it:

PROS:

• i REALLY enjoy sharing my ideas on home/craft projects
• sharing a successful (and scrumptious) recipe makes my efforts feel like even more of a success
• the site is a mini-record of random thoughts that i can later refer back to quite quickly 
• i can promote my small home business (((with love... from jessiemint))) 
• i was inspired to do new things after following one friends blog and i think it would be cool to do the same for someone else
• it's yet another outlet to vent feelings and share life stories
• others seem to enjoy when i do post 
• it's a scrapbook of my life 

CONS:

• running a good blog (that's worth following) is time consuming
• i don't always have fun/blog-worthy ideas to share (my life is just sometimes... normal)
• i'm so busy living my life at the moment i can't always find time to get on and type up what's going on
• i love having pictures with my blog posts and that takes too much effort sometimes
• my current students have found me on the world-wide-web and i'm not sure how much of my personal life i want them to know about (sorry if you're reading this students)
• sometimes it feels like a duty and not a recreation
• facebook allows me to post some of my "bloggy" things with less effort

Weighing the pros and cons of this blog haven't swayed me one way or the other on what to do, but they have given me somethings to think over. I admire all the blogs I follow that post regularly (how do you manage to do it?!). Here's to thinking it over!
