I can hardly talk about sex to my dad or grandma! But it has worked out for me. I blog because I want a record of my life. I have old journals, but sometimes they are just too painfully truthful to read. I want a record of just the 'fun, great, interesting things in my life' as Amy put it. So whether to take the plunge depends on what you want out your blog. Monetary reimbursement is definitely a good thing! You could always have two blogs...

Do you know how many hours a week I search for blogs/websites trying to find out "how much sex is normal"??! Orrrr, try to find other under-30's that have as many varicose/spider veins on their thighs (and FREAKING ankles) as I do?! (at least yours are tiny! ha) My whole online life in a big censor....my blog is only a 1/2 truth (if that), only about the fun, great, interesting things in my life; nothing about how about the fact that I still (25 years into my life) & cannot say "Im good at something", or the fact that I have nightmares about my husband being blown to smithereens in Iraq. (Can you imagine what my in-laws would say if I put that on my blog?!) Annnnd if people are enjoying your blog and are using it as a resource, you deserve to be rewarded. Why would that be selling out? Yay! I just had a 100% truthful mini-blog! Take the leap like you did by going to Guatemala! pllllleeease be the courageous one that 95% of us cant be.

I subscribed to your feed, and it does NOT put the strike out through your words, but I didn't know that till right now. Totally thought you were using Vallium. Or maybe giving it to the baby! Anyway, you're not a failure. And it's so much harder for US when our babes grow up then it is for THEM! Right now, mine is about to grow out of my lap when we sit in the rocking chair at bedtime. It makes me want to cry! It makes her want to go to bed sooner. By all the wiggling, I can tell I've become totally uncomfortable for her. Ingrate! Haha!

You totally have the ability to take this bloggy thing farther. BUT it does take a lot of work. A lot of networking, that is. So just be aware of that. And yes, I have to censor myself. I didn't want to have anything in my life that I felt I had to hide from people - especially my in-laws. And when I do try to do things like that, it always turns out bad for me! Consequently I have been daydreaming of starting a blog that no one knows about, not even hubby, where there is no picture of me, coming from Nowhere'sville, Nowhere-lina. No marketing, no trying, no nothing but a whole stream of curse words describing everything from sex to baby's poop. Except I'd get to say shit. Because I feel like, with all those more ladylike mommies out there, I can't use shit when I feel like it! Whoo! That feels so much better! Glad I got that out! OK, later! Yes, yes, yes, yes, YES!!!

I've run into that, also. The idea that you don't have anything to offer because your life is now over because you are married with kid. It's small-minded people who make such automatic assumptions. But you're also right, having the kid sure does bridge borders! I finally get along with my in-laws! Rudeness is rudeness is rudeness. I’ve run into that, also.
