How has blogging changed your life?

I wouldn't have thought that it would but at least once a day I find myself composing in my head a blog entry. My observations, funny little stories, interesting things that happen; I reflect apon what I'm doing - this may reflect the fact that for a lot of time the only adult around to talk to is myself:) - by the time the dishes are done and the days busines is done I almost always sit down at my computer. Mostly though I have no desire to write - even when I already know what I would write. All I want is to be passively soothed by reading other blogs or browsing ebay or looking for yarn. I'm not into entering contests anymore. That was when I was even more wrung out at the end of the day and clicking a button to fill out forms was enough to keep me entranced. I have to say I really like my laptop; now if only we can get the technology working so I can download the pictures from our camera and then upload them here. T is working on hardware solution #3.
