To Blog or Not to Blog...

So.
I've had a hard time knowing what to do with this blog.  What is the point of it, really? 
I use it mostly to keep far-flung friends and family (say that five times fast!) updated on what's going on, though I'm really never sure how much of what I end up posting is of interest and how much of it is like those people who post pictures of their dinner every night on Facebook.  Sorry if you do that... but seriously who cares about your kraft mac n cheese, you know?  I'm often certain that I'm mac n cheesing this blog, as well.  So sometimes I just don't mention things, or I throw them out on facebook with everyone else's mental scraps.
I started this blog before I even knew about facebook.  Dark ages, right?  And now it can seem a bit redundant.  Except that I can be so much more long winded here!  So fun for me! Maybe not anyone else.  Hmm. What to do?
But then again, it's also turned out to be a nice therapeutic way to to talk to myself, address it to you, and escape asylum commitment  on a technicality.  And believe me, Peanuts.  Being in a city where I know exactly two other adults and spend all day with people under 3 years old means I need to talk whether anyone is actually listening or not.  Otherwise, I might forget how to.  I might go all feral and when J comes home I'll be like Nell, swaying like a Tay in the Win.
And, as I've mentioned, this is the best version of a family scrapbook I have managed to sort of keep up with.  But it's sort of public, though, so it's patchy.  I'm just not sure what to add.
If it's just for me, just to talk, I have all kinds of whining and celebrating to type out about deployment and how much it is not fun, and how proud I am that we are still mostly alive and sane nonetheless.  If it's a scrapbook, I have a lot of arduous uploading of photos to do and should probably backtrack to hit at least some of the major family events I've missed recently.  And if I'm trying to put something up that other people care to bother with....uh....I got nothin.  Which is what I've been posting.  So for the sake of the family scrapbook argument, I think I'll keep adding random ho-hum "here's what we've been up to" posts. For now.
But I'd like to take a Peanut poll! All three of you, please chime in.  What do you think?  In the days of Facebook and overexposure and creepy online stalkers and such, what really is the point of the family blog?  Is there one?  I am careful not to use real names or be too specific about where we are going to be, but is it better to make it private? Skip the pictures?  What do YOU think?  Throw your two cents in or I threaten to stop this blog altogether. Or post three times a day. Whichever would annoy you most.
