Randoms.

I can smell the lilacs through my open kitchen window.

I finally finished our honeymoon album.  Long story as to why I've made a honeymoon album before making a wedding album, but at least one's done nonetheless.  Too bad now I never want to see those pictures again.
Kidding.

I love our house.  That's all on that.

I'm looking to makeover my blog again, just haven't the energy or creativity today (I used it all on the honeymoon album).  I'm getting a complex since I've been introduced to some other blogs out there that are just so great.  It's not a competition, but I know I can do better.  At least, I hope so.

I've been thoroughly and ruthlessly enjoying my day off today. I'm practically assaulting it.  That has taken the form of sleeping in, laundry and other chores with the windows open, strawberry lemonade, and maybe a bit of Oprah (only 5 more shows!).  AND it's sunny!  What more could I ask for? 

I've been thinking in Facebook Updates all day.  I hate it when I do that.  Every thought I have turns into the perfect quip to go on Facebook and capture the precious moments of my day.  So I decided to blog.  :)

Love you.

Still here.

Don't worry- I'm not dead.
That's assuming, anyway, that there is anyone out there who reads this and wonders, "wow- it's been so long since she's posted. Where IS she?"
I've come to terms with the fact that this is a place for me to write. And my mom to read. (Love you, Ma!)

Anyway, self, aren't you so excited to be writing an article for Scoutreach? 
Why, yes, I am, even though I agreed to it and THEN looked up exactly what Scoutreach is. Interview is Thursday and by the end of the month, I shall finally have something published.  For Scouts.

And what about that is-yet-to-be-announced-project that has you talking to publishers as if it's no big thang?
Well, self, that's pretty cool, too.  In fact, I'd say my writing life has improved exponentially. Blogging is fun and all, but doesn't exactly advance you in the legit writing world and provide credibility when you're applying for professional writing jobs.  That is currently where my brother and a Christian niche are coming in.

So, exciting developments. Let's just pray that I do them well and can feel good about that.  Otherwise, back to the drawing board.

Slow blogging...

I follow several blogs.  They are in my favorites, mostly one after another, and I just go down my blog list and check them out daily.  And if I miss a day, boy am I excited!  They may have TWO new blog entries!
That said, it looks like things in the blogging world have been slow.  Frequent bloggers have taken weeks to post and even then, don't have much to say.
This includes me.
Is blogging out?
Should I be tweeting?
Well, the answer to the latter question is a resounding "no" and actually quite laughable as I still find Twitter mystifying.  And that's intentional.

Maybe everyone is going through life changes at the moment and finds it hard to sum stuff up in 200 words.  "What's new today? Well, maybe everything.  Blog?  Eh, I'll wait."
I gonna go with that one.
Patience is a virtue, friends, as my Favorites bar tells me when it comes up empty.
And so it goes!
