A Little Break Here and There

I'm sorry I'm a bad blogger.

And that sometimes I disappear off the face of the planet

(to those of you who are wondering).

But we've been having a bit of a family crisis.

And when it rains, it pours.

I'm currently hiding under my mom, just like that little elephant.

So I'll be here and there.

Around a little bit.

Ya know.

Outdoor Longings

Okay, I think I've finally got this little thing to where I don't want to shoot myself in the face every time I look at it.

I'm not abandoning tumblr, I'm just going to post back on here again, where my real readers are.

A few minutes ago, I was giggling to myself about a post that I was going to write.

And now that I'm actually typing, it's gone, of course.

Oh!

Found it.

I've been thinking a lot about the outdoors.

I'm back home in Florida with my little family for the rest of the summer and the weather has been tough.

It's not that I mind hot (not at all) but I'm feeling a little overwhelmed by the humidity.

For those of you who have been forced to spend more than 10 minutes out of doors in central

Florida in the summertime, you know what I'm talking about.

It isn't easy feeling this sticky.

But I digress.

When I said I've been thinking about the outdoors, I meant that I had been dreaming about this:

I can't wait until I have a husband and little kiddies to take camping.

Not in Florida.

That's gross.

But down to Moab and up into the mountains.

I want to cook over a fire and teach my little ones where all the constellations are and play the guitar and sing around the campfire.

Sigh.

For now, I have awesome friends and family to do this with.

Yay me!

Stuck

See the new layout?

It was an accident.

I don't know how to fix it.

And I want to go back to the old way.

HELP ME!

502

Um, I forgot to mention that I reached my 500th post. Holy smokes! That is in some ways awesome, and in others, a little pathetic. What am I doing with my life besides blogging? Maybe it's time to take a little break. Or cut back or something. The problem is, I always have so much time in the summer to blog my heart out! Never mind, I'll start worrying when I reach 1,000 before next year.

Comments

I am just going to say this once: I love comments.
There are some of you awesome people out there who are regular commenters that make my day. But I have Google analytics. Out of the 60 or so of you that come each day, I am 100% sure that more than one or two people should be leaving a comment.
I'm just saying.

And if you know me, or don't know me, and think you're being creepy by reading my blog, let me assure you, you are not!
I blog because I want people to read what I write.
And sometimes I am insecure enough to need validation.
So, if I do know you, or don't know you, I will be really excited and like you a ton for commenting.
Really.
Try it and see how I greet you next time we meet.

It will be with this much excitement.So get ready.

Happy Birthday Little Blog!!!

I completely forgot my first birthday!
Woop woop!
This blogging thing is kind of good.
I'm liking it.
The part that I like even more is that people actually read my ramblings.
The innermost thoughts of my head are kind of fun to share.

So here's to you!
Go enjoy something sweet in honor of my little blogs goodness.

Guess What?

I have the flu.
And it has already ruined my life.
Twice.
I had a huge paper due yesterday and I couldn't think well enough to do it.
And I had a costume party on Saturday
(H-face and I got fake blood and scrubs for me and a butcher outfit for her. Scary? Yes.)
And I can't sleep.
Which is why it is 4:00 in the morning and I am blogging instead of sleeping.
I just took a Tylenol p.m. and am waiting for it it kick in.

Anyways, the point of this post is to ask all of you to update your blogs.
Because I've watched most of the movies we have, I've exhausted Hulu, and the only book left that I haven't read is Henry James' Portrait of a Lady.
And that is much too heavy stuff for my fuzzy brain (I'm not getting enough oxygen, I'm sure).
So I need something to do.
a.k.a. Read blogs.
Please.
Help me.
I'm going crazy.

I've been a bit lonely of late. I blame leaving home and family for this. Or hormones. Whatever. On the brighter side, I promise to do a bit better blogging starting now. Because I've been a bit of a slacker of late. But I am about to start my fourth semester of college, which means there will be lots to blog about. Oh school. I missed you. Sort of.
