Within me there is an unease. I am unsure. I am lost. I am confused. I have to write about what I feel. Soon I will do and get it out. And hopefully banish it from my life – if not forever at least for now. I guess these moments of unease teach me a lesson.. I am willing myself to send the unease packing.. well it is not successful but I will write about it – once I am better. Tomorrow

If you are not familiar with my big plans 2010 read them first.
Week 3 has been bad. I fell sick and then getting back to the groove was difficult and before I know the week is over. Let me wrap it up
Blog more often – One post in Scary On and a couple of itsy-bitsy ones here. Not bad
Lose the baby weight -well hopefully magically
Bake More – No baking. Just some cooking – tried some new recipes.
Read Geography – Still struck with N.America and the countries and their capitals
Keep kuttyma’s baby journal updated - No
Finish my handicraft projects – I made a cap for kuttyma. Well the first attempt was a disaster as it fitted me and not my daughter. The second attempt was perfect. I am proud of myself. I did it all by myself with no help from the experts.
Have an organic container veggie garden – First step, an indoor herb garden planning and I have decided what I what and how and where
Let us hope for a better week

It is 3 years since I started blogging. I started at yahoo blogs moved to blogger and finally made it home on my own domain with wordpress.
Someone asked me what I write about – well I write about me. I write my emotions, my perspectives and everything that is ME. As Joan Didion said , I write entirely to find out what I’m thinking, what I’m looking at, what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear. Writing clears my mind and hence I write…I look back to the 400+ posts I have made during these 3 years and realize this blog has reflected ME.
I blog in bouts – I go through a phase when I blog nearly every day or atleast every other day (like in December 2009) and then through a dry phase where I rarely blog. It is so me. I take up something and get a bit obsessive with it and then cool off but with this blog I have been trying hard not to cool off and sustain my interest in blogging.
I blog about the flavor of the day – Just like I go through phases of blogging, I go through phases with different interests. Right now it is baking and few months back it was crocheting and before that was eco-friendly stuff. It is not that I give up my interests, they just move down on my priority list. Soon there will be more flavors
I am still paranoid – about what I post online. I try to avoid posting pictures of me or my family though most of my readers are either family members or friends I know well. There are a few people who drop in when they blog hop and have ended up being friends and I am thankful that my blog has brought in some great friends. If you frequent my blog and I do not know you, I would love to get to know you. Do leave a comment.
I am lazy – to comment on others blogs. I follow around 300 odd blogs on my reader and I rarely leave comments. I have been trying hard to leave a comment if I see something I like and that flows over to my blog as well. I rarely reply to comments. These days I have been trying hard to reply to comments in my blog. So if I do not reply shoot me!
Thanks for staying with me the past 3 years and wish me luck to go on and write more….. and is there anything you wish me to write about? Let me know I will share my 2 cents
