It’s a Start

As noted in my last post, I’ve taken quite a lengthy leave of absence from the blogosphere.  And so several weeks later,  I’m still contemplating my blogging fate.  But today I felt a teeny, tiny little spark.  One that came right after finally catching up on a month’s worth of discussions on my favorite mommy google group.  And right before I took a (long overdue) peak at some recent updates on blogs I follow.  It made me realize  that I do miss this….the writing, the connecting, the sharing.
 
And so here I am – posting.  Baby steps.

I’ll finish with a super cute pic to end your Friday:

Decisions, Decisions

So, if anyone out there is still reading this little bloggety blog, you may have noticed I’ve been a bit absent lately (3 weeks to be exact, and even that last post was a simple Wordless Wednesday).  Truth is, things were crazy busy for a while - then the whole fam got sick, and then all hell broke loose (don’t ask)!  However, since then, I’ve had more than one opportunity to continue writing….more than one free moment that would have provided plenty of time to write a post.  But, to put it bluntly, I just haven’t felt like it…and I’m not too sure why.  It’s as if all of my drive & enthusiasm for blogging simply went ‘poof’.

Alas, I am now at a point where the idea of abandoning this little project I started almost a year ago has entered my brain more than once.   Aside from the somewhat snarky writing & opinionating, the frequent pictures & accompanying adventures of my little family, the random fashion advice, and maybe a recipe or two, what really is the purpose of all this??  That, dear Internet, is the question!

Stay tuned….

Pretty In Pink

Yeah, yeah….I know.  It’s once again been a while since I’ve written a post on my little bloggety blog.  I have no excuse, except that life has kept us busy…yada, yada, yada.  With pre-school nearing an end soon (OMG, still can’t believe how fast it went!), there has been lots to do as everything starts to wrap up over the next few weeks.  Plus, the peanut’s been going through a continuous whining/crying/temper tantrum throwing phase that unfortunately shows no signs of slowing down.  Add to that the puppy & all of his lovely teenage-like antics, and we’ve been simply exhausted.  I swear, between the kid and the dog, it sometimes feels like all we do around here is yell!  Oh, and let’s not forget the most important thing of all – ‘LOST’!  I am completely obsessed with this show and could easily spend hours perusing blogs & websites dedicated to it, reading up on popular theories and predictions of what it all means.  Truly, after 6 years of faithful devotion to this amazing hour-long drama, I am so sad that it is all coming to a permanent end soon and am not sure what I’ll do with myself afterward, lol .  And before you call me a complete loser, I have quite a few friends who feel exactly the same.  So there!

Anywho, hopefully I’ll be energized enough soon to once again fill these pages with fabulous & witty content!    For now, I leave you with a few more pics of the peanut.

And The Beat Goes On….

So, yeah, it’s been a while since I’ve posted regularly on this little blog of mine (aside from my post below where I tried, in vain, to get myself all riled up and back on track)……November 23, to be exact.  I’m not really sure how it all went down.  As time moved on and the weeks piled on, the act of writing a new post just became more & more daunting for whatever reason.  The holidays came and went (and with them loads of material that I’m sure would have provided some great content), and yet I continued to ignore that nagging little voice in the back of my brain that was screaming “WTF??!!  WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU??  JUST FREEKIN’ PICK UP YOUR SORRY ASS AND START WRITING AGAIN!!”.  There was even a point where I defiantly announced that I was done blogging, that this was the end of the road…I was giving up.  But you know, that’s not how this is going to play out.  I LOVE my blog….I am so proud of what I started and the outlet it has given me to write & express my thoughts.  SO THERE!  Now, if I can just get back even a small sliver of the momentum I had before, now then that would be just lovely.  And maybe, just maybe a few people will even come back over and take a gander at my somewhat random, yet highly amusing (I assure you), ramblings!

Short And To The Point

Holy crap!  WTF??  I can not believe I’ve let 2 1/2 weeks pass by since my last post!!  For the 5 people who actually stop by periodically to read my senseless dribble – I HAVE NOT ABANDONED MY BLOG!  Truth be told, I really have no good excuse.  I could whine & complain that things have been busy, and blabber on about my continuously evolving holiday to-do list...have I mentioned my INNATE ability to stress out about every tiny little thing??  OR, I could play you some ‘Enya’ and promptly shower you with dreary, emotional, anxious-ridden tales of woe.   BUT, what it all really boils down to is this: laziness, procrastination, and an unfortunate recent lack of brain power. 

So, there you have it.  I’ll try to get back on track ASAP!

Joining The Twitter Revolution

I never thought I’d actually say this, but I joined Twitter today!  For months and months I’ve been swearing up and down that I wouldn’t jump on the Twitter bandwagon, that I don’t get what the hype is all about, that the whole thing IS SIMPLY RIDICULOUS!   Alas, as I tend to do, I could no longer ignore the roar of the masses…..in addition to the many sites that insist twittering is simply a must for any blogger.  So, check out my cute little Twitter button in my sidebar and it will take you directly to my home page.

Another Site Recommendation

So, about a year ago I stumbled upon this blog, written by a stay-at-home mom  out of Salt Lake City, Utah.  Having never heard of her before, I had no idea just how huge of a following she had & that she's kind of a God amongst bloggers.  I check her site almost every single day now and can never get enough of her hilarious and wacky tales of mommyhood, written with just the right amount of snarky, in-your-face sarcasm.  But what I think most people really love about her (I know I do), is her sincere honesty....she puts it all out there, from chronicling her roller-coaster journey with depression to detailing her 2 labor & delivery adventures to expressing how she feels about baby-poop in all it's various forms.  Without further ado, let me give some link love to my very favorite blogger/mama/all-around crazy lady:

It's A Blogger's World

As I slowly learn more about all things BLOG related, I am overwhelmed and completely intrigued by the vast amount of information out there in the blogosphere.  I've viewed so many cool graphics & templates in the last 48 hours that my eyes might just fall out of my head soon.  So many great blogs/websites with loads of resources and information.  What I'm trying to say is.....I'M HOOKED!   I truly hope this is only the beginning of a totally amazing new path - finding new blogs and connecting with other moms/wives/chickies who are all just trying to share their little piece of the puzzle.

Ok, enough with the reflecting....time to make dinner, feed the peanut, do some laundry, and look forward to later on when I'll be laying in my comfy bed & gettin' me some 'Two and a Half Men' & 'The Big Bang Theory' (easily two of the funniest shows on tv).   What the heck, maybe I'll go hogwild and have a Corona (light, of course)!
