The Lazy Blogger

A year ago I started The Pickle Tree in an attempt to break into the blog world as a fresh new blogging superpower who would be able to quit her day job due to the amount of daily hits to her witty posts. Ultimately, I ended up only amusing my friends and family, and not at all accomplishing my original goal: world domination through blogging.

So I let it go. Since then I have been itching to get back into the blog-o-sphere, but what to do? Being brilliant on a daily basis is exhausting.

So, after many started and abandoned blogs, I’m trying again in a much simpler fashion. The style of this blog will emulate (I like that word - it’s a nice euphemism for stealing someone else’s idea) my friend Wendy’s blog, EMM and M. I get such a kick out of the pictures Wendy posts; they bring quick smiles to my day without having to read too much. I also greatly enjoy Heather Armstrong’s blog, Dooce.com, and my favorite posts are the ones with hilarious or sweet pictures and their amusing or touching descriptions.

So here I go, emulating Wendy and Heather. (Yes, I’m sticking with emulating.) Of course, I will occasionally be tempted to add random attempts to be witty, charming and entertaining. (Or ridiculously boring, when I decide I need to use this blog as my own personal journal.) And I will do this on no set schedule. It will be whenever I damn well feel like it. Screw your requests. So there.

Let the blogging begin!
