I don't know if I belong here.

I don't know if Orble is the proper fit for me. I thought by coming here, I would be more free to write the way I wanted, but unfortunately, most the blogs here seem to be very specific. No one wants to read my ramblings about kids and all that. That is my LIFE though, and I have no shame of it.
On a lighter note (pun intended) Wednesday I found out I lost an additional 2.2 lbs, and have broke the 10lb mark. I averaged out my weight loss over 12 weeks and well, I lost an average of .8 lbs a week. Fucking Amish Bread. Eating two loaves in one weekend by yourself will always make you gain.
Another thing I noticed is that when I consume adult bevarages I either have a gain, stay the same or have a miniscule loss. So, I've given up drinking only for the wieght loss. I mean, I never drank a lot to begin with, once a month at the most, but it's easier for me to give that up, than say..... um...... White Castle. I mean, I can have a fast food meal once a week, and still see a signifcant loss. I have a few hurricanes or beers, and it's fat city.
This post makes no sense does it? LOL

Blogging itself is a strange beast ... I wouldn't entirely agree with you that no-one wants to read your Posts ... (I've always liked your conversational tone and your sense of humour ... and the fact that you do write about your life and project yourself as who you are ... not someone trying to educate and save the world ...
You're a woman. You know what women are like when it comes to taking an interest in other women ... only the ones comfortable in their own skin can do it ... the rest get all catty and bitchy ...
I've always found on Orble that I try and seek out other Blogs I like and just get into the comments section (based on the post) .... for the social interaction thingy or thangy ...
And once that's happening ... the people whose blogs I like tend to visit mine as much (if not more) than I visit theirs ... I honestly enjoy the comments section more than the posts ... again it's a social interaction thing to me ... it seems that people reveal more about themselves in the comments than they do in their posts ... and tend to be a bit more true and real to who they really are ...
Okay ... I've raved and ranted enough ... Just wanted to let you know that Blogging is just Blogging and I don't think you don't fit on Orble ... I think you should write posts about whatever the fuck you feel like writing them about ... that is Blogging to me ...

I agree with David, blogging is a strange and morphing beast.
The way that you write so openly and honestly is one of the reasons why I always read your posts. I can relate to a lot that you say and on top of that they're always entertaining. You have a talent for writing about the normal aspects of life vividly, so I'm often nodding and laughing when I read your posts.
For me (and I'm not suggesting it's the same way for you), I try not to look at blogging as a way of validating my self-worth where I feel that if the count is low, then I must be writing rubbish, if it's high then I must be doing something OK. That's how I operate with so many aspects of my life.....something I'm trying not to do....
As with so many things in life there are a million reasons why something is the way it is.
Hope that makes sense....I think I'm just garbling...
I hope you don't stop writing, I'd miss your posts, let's keep the honesty on Orble...

I hope you do hang in there and find new things to write about, because over the last few months, you've written some very interesting [crack up] posts... only in my opinion... how about you? How are you finding the writing? Don't you find writing about things cathartic to integrating into your daily 'being?'
I don't always comment because of time restrictions - I too have family - but I do read lots (and vote lots too). My view is that you can't please all the people, all the time...depends on your interests... write what you want to write about and take your pick...there are over 1,000 posts to chose from.
I hope you hang in here with us all ...
...congrats on the continued weight loss...

You're right. You don't belong...
I don't have the time to write all that I want to and that's frustrating me a little...just a wit and run yeah?...and not even that so much because reading this has made me a llittle sad...
The way you write...oh come on now sugah.... Sandi... as far as I'm concerned you need your own one Woman chat show.
I have to admit....I don't quite understand why your posts aren't always in the Top 20 because I gotta tell ya Woman...no one writes about
the way you do.
With wit and flair and devil may care.
I am a huuuge fan Sandi.
I don't know why people blog...I still find it a little odd...I'm only here to write about sport...about Rugby (shut up David...)...and I'm only here to do that because I'm trying to break the boys club bullshit that exists in Rugby media here.
Yeah okay...so I may have gone off tangent a little but big deal.
I write what I want to write and read it, don't read it...I'll still write it.
...and funny this....the majority of Orble people who visit me have no idea what I'm going on about half the time. A lot of them are Women who, bless their beautiful souls, just come to add their support and the few Men who do visit me just come to give me shit about the sport I love!
Your post makes sense...it is this freakin' comment that doesn't.
Your posts always make sense.
....and God...even when you're down...I would rather read your way of getting yourself out of it than any so called new-age self help wank 'guru'....
I don't know what to say...just know that we who read you, love you and use your "ramblings" to give us a lift. I know I do.
much warmth Sandi...
Dusk
ps. Congratulations on the 2.2lbs...

I used to feel the same way... not just about Orble, but about planet Earth (okay, I still feel that way sometimes, but it doesn't last long). *grins*
I'm with all of the above.... I love reading what and how you write. You've got a unique style all your own... and the daily life stuff? Hell, that's what life is made of!! What better moments could there be to record?
Those of us who end our names with an "i" instead of a "y"? We gotta stick together and stake our claim on the world.... (Devi ends with "i")
Hey... maybe we should make an "i" club.... *giggles*... we could call it "I Rule!"
You rule.... (backing Dusk, here... *waves at Dusk*)
Don't sweat the small stuff....

If you're trying to make money by being a blogger, there's almost no way to do that. There are probably only a handful of 'diary'-type bloggers making money in the world. The rest are all niche-specific.
