What is this blog about, anyway?

Just recently I began submitting my to various related listing sites, and found I had a small problem. All of them ask me to classify what this is about. Uh-oh. For some reason they all seemed to lack the proper category. The neglected to add the “whatever strikes my fancy” category.

That led me to sit down and really think about what this is about.

I’ve been told it’s a “mommy ” since I have posted parenting relating things, or it’s a “contest ” because I post giveaways. Ok, I can get with that, sort-of. Those are parts of me, but I have a problem with classifying an entire based on a few entries. What about the posts that don’t fit? Another question – who was it that demanded that all blogs have to be categorized to be promoted?

I understand the need for organization on listing sites, I really do. Without organization there would be no way to find blogs that may interest you. What bothers me is that many of the offered are just too limiting for some blogs. I think the need to be expanded to include blogs that can’t be defined in one or two . I’d even be happy with a generic “other” category, but many sites don’t even have that.

After careful consideration, I came to a conclusion. It’s about me. It’s just that simple. I personally need a space that has all the little bits and pieces that make up who I am. If that means this is an “other” , so be it, but at least give me that option.
