After a long week of doing hair- Is it really only Thursday? I decided to take the day off and treat myself to a morning of doing NOTHING! The boys are at school for about 2 1/2 hours and instead of running errands, cleaning the house or coloring hair like I normally do, here I am blogging. This started with a quick Facebook check.
How did I get so addicted to Fb? It's like if I miss a day or two I feel like I have no idea what's going on in the world of my friends. Not that I even talk to them very much there. It's just a lot of snooping. Who posted new pictures? What is that witty status update? Are there any new friends to add? Even when I do talk with them we have almost nothing to say; I already know everything about them thanks to FB!
Honestly it's a little ridiculous. And it's totally taken me away from my first stalker love- The BLOG.
After a few mins of FB time I hopped onto a cute friends blog and then her cute friends blog and so on and so on and I totally remembered why I love blogging! ****Not only can you share with your friends, but you can try to look awesome to people who don't even know you!**** I know that sounds a little vain, but let's be honest. I'm a girl. And a former fat one at that. We all need a little ego stroke every now and again and what better way than by piecing the happiest, best looking moments of our lives together for all to see!
I mean I'm totally not going to take pictures and talk about the fight Greg & I had last week. Or how I've been feeling totally depressed ever since I realized that I'll pretty much be doing what I am doing right now for the rest of my life.
Where's the excitement in that? No no- Those things are too real and that's NOT what blogging is about. Well at least not my blog.
(I feel like I've just reached that point in Wayne's World where he complains to the camera and the camera man starts walking away) Don't walk away.
I do have a point.
As I ended back on our page. Staring at the promise that I wouldn't get that far behind again...I realized something. I want to be more real with my writing. I laugh when I read what I wrote under the picture of Greg and I. It sounds good,"This blog is dedicated to all those fun, silly, crazy and sometimes hard moments." How sweet & honest, but really- When have I ever really shared anything hard?
Did you know that I honestly plan my outfits to wether or not we'll be taking pictures? Heaven forbid I get caught wearing the SAME THING TWICE! (I can't believe I just admitted that... I feel so shallow right now.)
Ok so, I can't promise I'll be totally real because sometimes it is fun to live in the perfect fantasy-blog world. On bad days I'll come look at my pictures and what I wrote and think- Wow! That looks really great! And it's not that it's all that far from reality, just embellished a bit.... I mean No one's going to tell me how hot I look right now with a beanie over my 4 day old hair and sleep-deprived swollen red eyes. (Although I do believe me.)
Crap! There I go again. I guess these things take time.
Even now as I proof read this I am fight every pollyanna bone in my body not to say- I do have some hard days, but most are peachy keen! But I'm going to work on it. If only for myself. I mean blogging has got to be cheaper than therapy! Right? The only question is could it be as effective? Hummm..
Enough with the deep thoughts- I still want to try to watch SYTYCD before I have to go get the boys. And that's the truth!
If you want to see what we've been doing over the past few months you can check out my FB photo albums Here (Most recent)
here (Summertime)
click Here for Family Reunion. HEre's some more and maybe just ONE MOre.
There! That ought to do it! All caught up now.
I'll try to keep up on this thing, but this time- No promises!
