A---I have to confess I should be more careful about what I say. When I saw the preview of "Swing Vote", it looked terrible. And I dissed the movie a few days ago, assuming it was another nail in Kevin Costner's career. But from now on I'm going to think before I speak. Or blog. Because...
B--I have to confess that when I saw it tonight, I loved "Swing Vote." Makes you laugh. Makes you cry. Makes you think. And makes me think they should fire the person who produced the preview.
C--I have to confess that Kevin Costner was really good. So was the rest of the cast. And...
D--I have to confess that when I started this blog I never imagined I would be writing movie reviews.
E--I have to confess that when I started this blog I had no idea what I would be writing. Or where I was going. I jumped in to swing the universe around in a better direction on Independence Day. That seems like months instead of weeks ago. Maybe in the blogosphere time moves at a different pace. Like measuring age in dog years. After blogging for less than one dog year...
F--I have to confess that I understand why Rosie announced that she is taking a month-long vacation from blogging. My blog is only a month old. And I'm having way too much fun to take a vacation. I am, however, going to re-evaluate. In a month I've accumulated volumes, way beyond what a typical blog would produce. I have flooded you with words; I'm sure most people have only read the tip of the iceberg that is this blog. This wasn't my plan, even though I had no plan. I'm not sure why I do it but...
G--I have to confess that I can't seem to stop myself from writing a newspaper column every single day--which columnists don't even do. So one thing I am going to evaluate is why I am compelled to "over-blog". Which I actually predicted on day one.
H--I have to confess that very few people read what I wrote on day one. However, since my entire blog has been Tivo-ed--in the archives--people could theoretically catch up if I slowed down. An even better reason to slow down is to avoid burnout---possibly yours but mostly mine. And despite the fact that my tendency to over-blog is happening again right this instant,
I--I have to confess that my sincere intention tonight was to drastically cut the length of this post. Mission (almost) accomplished. Maybe tomorrow.
I truly enjoy my daily fix of "I Never Signed Up for This." I am hooked. . . so keep on blogging!

I've read it all. One gets addicted to other people's lives.

Thank you both for reading. And I truly enjoy my daily fix too!

I have to confess that I am obsessed with your blog I was really upset that I woke up today and your blog wasn't posted when I woke up. I had to wait till later in the day. :) keep blogging.

I have to confess that although I've made some technological progress, I still have a ways to go--since this post failed to register when I actually posted it. You aren't the only one who noticed that day's missing post, and I have to confess that a few of them are related to me.
Love, Aunt Darryle

Darryle. Don't change anything. Just be yourself. Nancy told me a while back, she looks forward to your blogs every day and once I got caught up, I now feel exactly the same! You say you "over-blog", I would say I "over-analyze". So I guess we have something in common ... we both "over-think".
