Bloggers Block!

So, I started a blog, wrote two rather lovely posts (in my opinion) and then .... I stopped. Quit, would actually be the apropos word here. Partly I quit because my computer was terrible, and I was hoping for a new one for my bday (which I did indeed receive. Thanks, Ace!!). Partly I quit because I got a little overwhelmed with the idea of coming up with funny, witty things to say to my very few readers. But mostly I quit, because I didn't make the time, nor did I force myself to make the time. What's that phrase they use?!?! Oh, yes...self-discipline!! I'm terrible at that. I am such a creature of habit and have a very routine way in which I "do life". That being said, if I don't force something new into my daily routine, I just won't do it. There are two parts to being a cluttered perfectionist when it comes to my "To Do" lists, 1. is my brain spins in 7 different directions at all times. I'm a great multitasker, I can usually keep lots of plates spinning at once...but 2. if I'm not going to do it right, I'm not going to do it at all...so, sometimes the things I really enjoy, just don't get done! I'll wait and put it off until I can give it the full effort I think it deserves. So here I go, *sigh* making that effort.
But as I sat down to type this evening, I was suddenly crippled with anxiety and a bit of embarrassment. Now that I hadn't blogged for several weeks was I just supposed to type, "Hello, it's Whitney again, I started blogging, then I stopped, but I really enjoy it, so now I'm back...so please still read me?" SO LAME!!! But I guess that's all there is to say. So hopefully you will be patient with me as I slowly force this new thing I love into my routine!! What's that word, again?!? Oh, yes...discipline!!
Is there ever anything you really enjoy but miss out on because you either can't or won't make the time??
