My Xanga Roots
Hat started this and I just had to go along. His story made me tear up and I am here to tell you that is a difficult thing to do. He may be big and soft himself but I have a reputation around here of being heartless and doggone Hat is making it hard to keep that reputation intact.
My time here on Xanga bagan in May 2007. But actually I was familiar with it before then. My son who is more than literate, p_obrien , has a Xanga blog and I had been reading him for quite a long time. Then I started to read some of his subs and commenting on their blogs also.
When my boys were slated to be stationed overseas I needed a better way to keep in touch with them and to help them keep track of what was going on at home than simply writing letters or emails. I decided to steal the blog idea and have one central place complete with pictures and captions that they both could access with their computers. Since then no matter where any of my children or our extended family is they can always know what is going on in this corner of our world. It has also been a great emotional outlet for me and a way to develop friendships beyond this small town.
Not as exciting as Hat's story but there you have it.

It is interesting to find out what brought us all here. Thank you for sharing. And Hat's story had me all drippy eyed, too.
I came on because my daughter told me about it. Not as exciting as yours or Hat's reason. I do enjoy living vicariously through others while I mildew here on the farm.
Great reason for sure!
