I've really neglected this blog. I spend much more time on LiveJournal and Twitter. I'm not sure if I want to use Vox much at all anymore. Of course, I'll keep the account and the groups I host. (Since last time I read groups I seemed to have been made host of a group and didn't even know about it.)

Perhaps when I get a better cameraphone I'll be more active. The VGA ickiness of my Treo makes it really useless for posting. So, maybe I'll be back with BoTD in a month or so. :)

I've changed my VOX address to lexic.vox.com and my display name to Lexi.

I'm not using this account much recently as I just can't seem to get into the habit. I haven't even been checking in on my neighborhood. I just need a bit of time away I think.

A ramble:

I've been neglecting VOX. I lost my motivation to share. I think it's a little shyness, not knowing who may be reading. It's also writer's block. I need a comfort zone. I just can't seem to find it.

The tagline for this blog is, "More to life than dogs?" Most days I wonder. I'm not even posting Mr. Billy's cuteness on VOX because I figure it must get boring to anyone but me. I wish I had more to post about. I changed my theme from my dogs' pictures. Maybe I'll be inspired to post about other things.

Even the last book I read was about dogs...

In Spring I'll have garden-y goodness to write about. Winter is too long. Roses will fix me.

I couldn't resist creating and joining a few Vox Groups:

Mutt's New?
Tattoos & Other Bodyart

I've had this blog for quite some time, but all I seem to do is post silly pictures of Mr. Billy and occasionally answer the QotD and Vox Hunt. I just can't seem to get inspired to type much more. I have a 'private' LiveJournal and that is where I tend to ramble, but lately I haven't been posting much there either. I think I like VOX more, but most of my friends are at LJ.

Oh, I did get a Canon EOS Rebel XTi. Hopefully I'll soon take a few pictures good enough to share. ;)

I wish I thought I was interesting enough to try to struggle to type anything here. I just don't right now. I don't know how to break out of that either. If anyone has ideas/questions to ask me to get me to post more, I'm open to it.

Odd fact: I changed my fingernail polish 4 times in the past 24 hours.

I really love that there is now private messaging. Slowly Vox is winning me over. I just need to do more than post pictures of the dogs.

I'm still trying to find my comfort zone on Vox. I know I blog a lot about the dogs, but they really are the biggest part of my life. Day to day I spend more time with the dogs than I do my husband or child. Still, I'd like to post more than just dog pictures and stories.

I think I'm having a hard time opening up to a public blog. I post quite a bit on LJ and don't want to crosspost. I know most of my LJ friends aren't going to read my posts here so it's hard to decide what to post where.

I like the features of Vox, like picture posting and linking to books. Next week I'm starting a photography class so the picture posting options will be appreciated even more. Even though I have a paid LJ with the attached photo storage, it's just not very friendly for picture posting. I'm thinking about switching to a LJ "plus" account and using Vox plus Flickr or Photobucket.

More babble: I'm currently reading this book. It's actually a collection of 70 essays about Ancient Egypt. It's nice for short reads before bed. It was a gift from a friend.

Watching Mena Trott's video of her Ted talk (found here) really has me thinking about why I blog. What kind of "web legacy" will I leave behind?

I use my LiveJournal a lot. It's a paid account. Usually I post there daily. Sometimes it's just notes to friends because I'm too lazy to look up their email address. Sometimes it's serious topics or pictures. It really varies. I do like to keep it private. All the entries are friend-locked. That will not change.

I decided that I'd keep my Vox blog public. I've invited my daughter and my siblings. I'm meeting new interesting people. I'm participating in the community activities (QotD & Vox Hunt). I'm trying to take the time to explore random blogs and leave comments.

I'm trying to find my public posting comfort zone with Vox.

I've been asking myself, "Why do I need Vox?" I don't really. I already have a (paid) LiveJournal. So I decided that I'd keep my Vox blog public in contrast to my completely friends-only LJ. I just am not sure how much I really do want public.

I do love "Vox Hunt" and the QoTD...

*sigh*

Take a photo of a tall, cool one.

Fruitwater is my drink of choice. Gawd am I boring...

I really like "Vox hunt", BUT I wish more people would use their own pictures taken that day instead of finding images elsewhere or using older photos. Isn't that the point of the game? Those entries with "fresh" images are much more fun to look at and read.

I really enjoy the friendly community feel of Vox. I'm still mainly using my  LiveJournal, but I think there is more I could be using Vox for too. I wish there was some sort of cross-posting available. Also, I'd love if I could import images from my LJ scrapbook.
