Hi, I’m Laura Blankenship, and I’ve been blogging for a long time. I used to blog almost every day. With the rise of Facebook and Twitter, my blogging diminished, but I have continued to blog periodically up until the present. This is the archive of my old, original Blogger blog that I started in earnest in 2004. I moved to WordPress in 2009. My main site, linked in the menu, has my current blog and other information about me. I’ve included the categories and archives. Feel free to peruse. It’s a fun time capsule of the early days of blogging.
