Why is this site so d*mned difficult to navigate? Why can't I just post my stupid picture from Photobucket? The picture on there right now is the only sorry picture I have on my computer at work, and I was tired of being faceless. When I tried to do Chad Darnell's 12 0f 12 last month I had editing issues. Actually, editing them on Photobucket wasn't that hard, but getting them on here was a whole different ball of wax. I'm sure if I had all day, I could read through the help sections on here, but I might or might not get what I need. I tried the "share" feature on Photobucket, which put a giant picture of my face, pores and all in a post. It took me another 5 minutes to figure out how to get to the edit post function to delete it. While I'm not as savvy as the average teenager, I'm not computer illiterate. Really.

No more attempts at simplicity

I deleted my other blog. It was one where I intended to chronicle my attempts to simplify my life. I posted it on January 1, 2008...and that was the last post. So, instead of feeling guilty, I just got rid of it. You know what? Life is simply f**king complicated. (irony intended...don't think it quite counts as a pun, does it?) There are no two ways about it.

Children grow up. They're smart. They want to go to college. They start to drive. They want cars—need insurance and gas. And don't even get me started on gas prices. I'm sure there's nothing I could say that hasn't already been said.

Kids get sick, you want to go on mission trips to "do something significant....live out your faith"....but it all takes time and money.

Okay, enough ranting. The point is there is nothing simple about my life. Sometimes I wish I were a cat.
