This, very much this. I'm another who doesn't have an exciting life most of the time, and who doesn't feel comfortable writing too much about it anyway.
The thing about blogging is often this: no one has an exciting life. It's treating the unexciting as fiction, as those interstitial scenes that people often hate to write, but still have to make compelling (somehow), that makes it seem more interesting than it is.
But: I have two kids and I like to converse and touch base with friends and fellow-LJers without having to measure all the words through that filter.
And you're the only person who has a Skirt of the Day!
