Miranda Writes a Blog (Take Three)

Okay.  Third time's a charm.  Or a sign that this just isn't meant to be.  My first attempt at this was more successful than the second, so let's see what happens.

Blog one (about a year ago) was an attempt, a challenge to myself, to write one post a day for a year.  That failed after five days.

Blog two (about five months ago?) was an attempt to just write.  Anything.  That failed after one day.  (Truth be told, I forgot about this stupid thing instantly.)

Blog three?  What's the point?  A chance to write about my life?  That's not interesting to anyone.  My life is pretty mundane.  I live with three boys.  Spend lots of time with this one girl.  And have a handful of friends outside of that who I see with any regularity.  I'm happy with all that. 

Generally speaking, I hate blogs without a purpose.  Blogs that don't have something specific to talk about (whether that's food, fashion, ice cream making, kids reviewing theatre/art, etc.) drive me insane.  Why does anyone care about anything I could possibly have to say?  Doesn't matter.  I like the idea of having a place to write about things.  Anything.  Shows I'm working on, shows I see, things I see, life as I experience it, whatever.  I like the idea of having a place to write about any and all of it.  I don't have much to say, and I can't/won't promise that any of it will be eloquent in the least.  I'm not a writer.  But the thought of a place in which I am held accountable for saying something, at least once in a while, is nice.  Granted, I likely won't share this URL with anyone anytime soon.  But someone could find it.  And that someone would know if I didn't write. 

So here goes nothing.  A chance.  Hoping I can keep up with it.  For me.
