Analysis Paralysis

Hello, bloggers!

I recently decided I wanted to get into blogging since I feel understimulated and I waste way too much time on Facebook. At least this will keep my writing talents thriving... right? So, I went to blogspot.com and entered my email address to create a new account. A blog I had started from July 2008 pops up! I had totally forgotten about it! The single post reads: "Hmmm... so I finally decided to get into this whole "blogging" phenomenon. We'll see how long it lasts." It obviously didn't last long. Here's to hoping this one makes it a little farther!

While creating a new "blog", one of the first things it asks is for you to name your blog. Great. I'm horrible with coming up with creative names. I start brainstorming something that might describe me and where I'm at in my life. I start thinking of traits I have or things I might discuss in my blog. Ah-ha! Ask anyone that knows me well and they'll tell you that I overanalyze everything... which I realize I'll probably be doing a lot here. I start thinking of catchy titles... the overanalyst, paralysis analysis, etc. And wouldn't you know, every single idea is already taken! Bummer. I'll have to create my blog at a later time since I'm titleless.

Later that evening, I'm getting my four month old ready for bed. Bedtime has been a struggle the past few weeks and professionals would tell you it's because I'm "missing" the tired signals. I beg to differ. I hated naps and I think he's following in my footsteps. He's usually a very happy baby but when he's tired and fighting it, he screams LOUDLY! But he's easily distractable. If I tickle him or blow under his skin or on his belly, he fights a giggle. Sometimes he screams so fiercely that he actually cracks himself up and giggles. So, every night, I tell my dear son his screaming giggle is only tolerable for now. :)
