I wish I could say something like “oh, it’s a food blog” …

I used to have a running blog. That one was easy.
Mostly I say it’s not about anything. It’s more about getting away from the editors and expressing myself. People don’t understand but it makes me sound WAY more artistic than I really am.

Hmmmm…. great question! Since I’m a ‘prober’ too, I like asking the questions also, but I believe my blog has some direction (at least in my mind it does…ha ha!).

I think my tagline sums it up: “Blogging about the journey toward the finish line…” which on the surface seems pretty straightforward, but really is (okay, secret’s out!) more metaphorical in nature. I also think my profile spells it out: “I like to eat. I’m newly diabetic. I had to learn to have more than a love/hate relationship with food and exercise.” (Now it’s all love, baby! lol)

I think what’s weird/funny is when someone mentions that I blog, and someone else gets this quizzical look on his/her face and it’s clear they’re wondering, “What’s blogging??” And in the next breath it’s, “Oh, that’s so nice….” Now I’m teaching my colleagues about blogging and other social media since I coordinate professional development for our division. Nice!

You know, I’ve never actually had anyone ask about my blog. My friends aren’t really all that interested. My family reads it, and then of course everyone in bloggy world that I’ve connected with, but other than that I don’t really talk about it in “real life.”

Well, the one I share with people (that is, this one) is obviously about running. I do have my livejournal account that I don’t blab all over the place. That’s more of a “journal” where I record my day-to-day stuff and things that happen to me. Either way, no one has ever asked me what they’re about. My mom, however, did tell me once that she didn’t understand the point of blogging at all.

Also, I have no hobbies unless you could trying to figure out how to be in the best shape I can be in without sacrificing too much time out of the rest of my life.

My blog’s tagline/subtitle/whatever is “A collection of Ren’s thoughts and other renutiae” and that’s pretty accurate. I don’t have an About page, though. Uh-oh….

I was just thinking this morning about how RANDOM my blog is. It’s kind of all over the place…which is sometimes frustrating, but I also like it. That is just me. Exercise/Food/TV Shows/Randomness.

And I agree about the “About” section of the blog! It’s the first place I check, too. And I LOVE pictures! I’m such a kid.

I always tell people my blog is about heart healthy living, which is usually followed by a very blank stare from the other party. It’s hard to define yet in theory, it should be so simple!

I almost always say “Running, Eating, and…um, stuff I do.” I definitely don’t say “healthy living” since I contribute significantly to the french fried potato industry.

According to my husband, my blog is a place for me to complain about my life and also brag about myself.

But I have two. The other one I complain about my life as a parent and brag about my daughter

I tell people my blog is whatever I want it to be on a given day. I don’t believe in categorizing myself because then I get pigeonholed. That’s never good.

While I’ve talked with people about being a blogger, I can’t say I’ve ever been introduced as one. Where were you that this happened?
