I don't think Allen minds too much that I blog. Our house is usually presentable, and he eats a good dinner every night. The kids are happy, we get school done. It doesn't take that much time, really. It's just a place for me to nail down my thoughts, document feelings and events and put things I want to reflect on.
Well, I was up last night with Zane, and on ABC World News tonight, which has saved my nights the last 2 years, there was a story about a lady who blogs, for a living.
It started when she made fun of her boss online. :( She got fired, and then really started blogging a lot. She got lots of hits, and suddenly became sort of an internet sensation. She allows advertising on her blog, and she makes $40,000 a month.
Yes, you read that right. $40,000 a MONTH. No, I didn't add any extra zero's there.
Can you imagine?
Her husband quit work, duh, to "help" her. He "manages the money." I think that means he's sit around and counts it all day.
Now let me first say that I don't have any desire to be that rich. None at all. But I'm just thinking of all the good I could do with all that money.
And I can imagine Allen's surprise. And other people's surprise.
"What do you do for a living?"
"I blog."
"Oh, okaaaay..."
I don't have any sorts of deluded grandeur that this little tiny spot will ever become that famous. It's not meant for that. I'm not really interested in it becoming that anyway. I don't have that talent in me. Or the desire. I just want to have some record of my life, since I seem to be forgetting things as quickly as they happen.
But I lied in bed, after getting the child back to sleep, and the number $40,000 a month kept bouncing around in my head. I could just hear Allen.
"Honey, did you blog yet today....?" :)
