Parting Thoughts

We made it!

Things I liked the most about daily blogging:

• getting to read comments from people whose blogs I've never read before and now have hooked up to my G@ogle reader. it makes me feel much more "in the loop." I feel like once we got pregnant, there was a whole "class" of us, so to speak, who graduated and I lost track of the undergrads, so it's good to be reading new journeys again!

• having a place to vent

• feeling mildly accomplished

Things I disliked:

• the pressure of having to blog every day. Some days we barely came in under the wire! Ahh!

• not having anything to say some days, which just highlighted our rather boring lives

• whoever was the last one awake ended up doing the daily post, although most of the time we would watch over each others' shoulders

And there you have it! It's not quite the finale, since we're obviously keeping our blog and it's not like you'll never hear from us again, but I do feel a bit of parting sadness as the big sharing is kind of done for now. For those of you who followed along, we thank you. It's nice to know someone with a pulse is reading out there. Thank you for your comments on issues from the technical to the emotional to the mundane. And, for those of you who also participated, thank you! It was nice to have buddies also dragging their asses to their computers every evening to say whatever is on their minds (even if it's nothing).

See you in December - albeit a bit less frequently!
