Here it is, the end of 2011. I maintained two other blogs in 2011, It’s a long story (my other It’s a long story) and Perceptions. I kept up with the WordPress Postaday2011 challenge on Perceptions and Postaweek2011 challenge on It’s a long story. (I like the title “It’s a long story” so I’m keeping it for this blog.)

Blogging every day for a year on Perceptions and 3-4 times a week on It’s a long story was hard — really, really hard — but I made it. Just this week, WordPress sent out a challenge for the new year: blog everyday about one subject. They listed a handful of bloggers who were already doing that.

One subject? Really? For a year? At first I couldn’t think of any one thing that I could cover for that length of time. Then I did find something that I could write about every single day: dogs. We have six dogs and two 4-week old Labrador Retriever puppies. I can always write about dogs.

But dogs aren’t the only thing I want to write about and I don’t want to have this blog to be only about dogs. I could still do it, I suppose, on my other, other, other blog: Moon Dogs. (You can have as many free WordPress blogs as you want. Trust me on this.) I haven’t posted much to Moon Dogs, probably because I was too busy posting to It’s a long story and Perceptions.

Hey, I know! If I posted every day to Moon Dogs, I could keep this blog about other things. Wait, I’m having a déjà vu moment. That would mean I’d be maintaining two blogs, posting to one every single day while posting to the other one several times a week. Oops, been there done that in 2011.

I think I’ll pass on that challenge.
