Late to the party

I was really excited to start a blog that was just for me and that would be a space for me to say anything without the fear of family reading. But now I can't help but feeling like I am outside of the blogging loop. I have been reading blogs a lot longer than writing one and I have a long list of favorites and I feel like a kid in junior high who wants to get in with the cool crowd. Blogs are being talked about everywhere and I think I am joining the movement too late. It's sort of like the whole real estate flipping phenomenon. I bought an 1888 bungalow with my husband and I have spent the past two years renovating it. I love working on the house I get such a feeling of pride and satisfaction. I love it so much that I started thinking about perhaps doing it to make a living, I would love to buy, renovate and flip houses. It would give me an outlet for my creative abilities I could still be home with my children and some people have made some pretty amazing money doing this. So what's the problem, well with about a hundred shows on TLC, HGTV, and A&E I think the opportunity is over. When it's plastered all over the cable networks and everyone and their neighbor is flipping houses it seems that the industry is oversaturated. I feel like the same thing is happening with blogs, everyone has one and with so many out there to read how does anyone find any readers for their blog? I know it's pretty ridiculous to be complaining about no one reading your blog when you only have 3 entries, that's not really what I am upset about. I just don't want to be viewed as someone who is just jumping on the blogging bandwagon because everyone else is doing it. Just for once I wish I could be at the foregound of something, instead of one of the millions chasing behind the movement. But then I guess everyone wants that right?
