We all make choices. I wonder if your mother took up writing again? Perhaps her writing lives on in you. As I sit here with a few minutes while my 1 year old sleeps, I can make a comment about choices. You have a unique opportunity to experience much before you really experience what life is truly all about. Creating in creation's truest form: a baby! Watching my baby (and the clock, so as not to forget to pick up the 6 year old) life is explained. The happiness in simple pleasures. The selfish immaturity. The couriosity in the not so obvious, yet interesting objects, faces, sounds all around. You tell a great story. I enjoy the PG rated posts over the "sex in the city" posts. You have a talent that mixes well with the blogosphere. Good Luck to you. Wouldn’t “choices” better describe your post? We all make choices. I wonder if your mother took up writing again?

It's good to know that I'm not the only 25 year old with a Journalism degree who isn't really sure about anything. I feel you on the lakes though. I live in WV and even though I make frequent trips to Pittsburgh, there's nothing like sitting by the water and doing...noting. Thanks Well done.

That's not so bad. Her formula certainly seems very marketable and likeable. From what I can gather she has a huge flock of fans. I actually feel sorry for her - she may be egocentric and self-absored but I guess that's the nature of blogging. She has come under real fire recently. People started to sit up and notice and criticise when she got the book deal. I hope Stephanie is taking the higher ground although I did hear she was adopting a scortched earth in response to some of the criticism. Keep up the good work, Belle, I hope you fall in love with a penniless vagrant like me. That way you're sure to have an interesting life. A bit of dumpster diving (ughh - god forbid) will knock the corners of you. Keep it up. . . . there are many similarities between your posts and Stephanie Klein’s. That’s not so bad.
