Hi internet.

I don’t blog this much in one week anymore. My livejournal gets used daily now, because I feel like what I say has no merit and I’m kind of ashamed to put it up publicly.

But, my mom reads this blog. She tells me this every time we talk. She asks me about my day and then about the entry I wrote and about how much she loves the pictures I post of Noah. Do you know how awesome that is?

My mother is the sole reason I am even proficient with computers at all. For a woman who cannot really navigate her way around and needs to be reminded how to check her email (sorry Mom, but you know it’s true!) by her ten-year-old son, she really did a good job in setting me up to be so computer savvy. She made sure I had internet connections and she trusted me with our ancient computer (lovingly named Ernie, as my friend had named hers Bert), and she paid $10/month for webhosting (ouch) just so I could fiddle with bold, italic and strikethroughs. She trusted me while I surfed the web, encouraged me when I thought my websites stunk and overall just told me how proud she was of me.

And now she reads my blog. This, for some reason, is some of the BEST encouragement I could ever get. I actually came here to write an entry about how down I was about my site and how I really wanted to work on it but I had no motivation and no muse (my amazing husband and son inspire me to live my life, which is a pretty major task in and of itself). I was going to be depressed and down and just overall really whiny but then I remembered what my mom said to me today.

She likes my blog!

I guess I better burn her that CD of pictures that she’s been asking me for. Oops.
