A cure for boring posts...

Ok, so I haven't been very inspired to write amazing posts lately.  In fact some of my posts have been downright boring.  I'm just too tired to come up with anything interesting to say.  Even my real life has become quiet.  The TV is my friend.  It's sad, but true.  So, I'm going to try to jump in here every now and then with topics.  It might be even more boring than my regular posts, but we'll see.
 
The topic/question for today is: Who first inspired you to start blogging??
 
This is a long answer.  I first stared reading blogs in a previous life.  Ok, it just seems that long ago.  Before my first pregnancy last September, I was engrossed in fitness and diet.  I was doing the Body For Life program.  (which , by the way, is a fantastic way to get into shape and lose weight fast.  But it takes a lot of work and dedication.)  There were two blogs that I read regularly.  One is of a friend of mine, who has lost more than 100 pounds.  She has, unfortunately abandoned her blog because of some cyber-stalkers.  The other blog I read was Skwigg's.  She's entertaining to read, but this girl is a freak!
 
So after becoming pregnant, and suffering my first miscarriage, I found blogs related to miscarriage and trying to conceive, and infertility.  These are the women that truly inspired me to start my own blog.  So, I'd like to thank Julia and Jennifer for that. 
 
Ok, so maybe that wasn't such a long answer.

I started reading Salam Pax's blog before the Iraq war started (www.dear_raed.blogspot.com).Soon after I started my own blog, abandoned it when life became hectic in the planning of my wedding (dammit, that would have been interesting stuff to blog) and came back after my first miscarriage. Now I read all kinds of blogs from
a Pakistani girl, a London callgirl, RuPaul, many women who've suffered miscarriage and are ttc, and just regular ole' folks. I'm obsessed with bloggers. My new favorites are www.trixieupdate.com and www.celebratingcolum.org --dad's who are blogging about their babies.

We have something in common because Julia was the one who inspired me to start blogging.
