Oh, the neglect!

Abandoned!  The poor blog.  So cruel.

Unfortunately, I've been both busy and uninspired as of late.  I know, 'excuses, excuses,' and they may very well be just that.  That's my reason though.

Perhaps the monotony has ceased!  My older sister and her family have moved in town and she has started a fashion blog for my sisters and me.  It's called Four Sisters and a Dandelion and we all posted our introductions last night.  I think it will be an exciting project!  I hope we keep it more diligently than I keep this blog, however.

So, what's new you wonder?  Well, maybe you don't but here it goes anyways.  For starters, my big sister and her family moved in town!  They are looking for jobs and trying to settle down here.  It's nice to have them in town.  It's super nice to have my niece in town, too!  That's probably about it.  I'm still working everyday.  The dog is chewing stuff like crazy (angry face).  My man and I are constantly unpacking and working on the house.  OH! We bought a Wii! That's new. 

As you can see, this is why I  haven't written in a while.  I've run dry of ideas recently.  I need to just keep a notebook of blog ideas so when I have nothing to write about, I can come up with something.

Nonetheless, check out our new blog! And hope I update this again soon!  Maybe the day after tomorrow?
 

The Little Things

"Movies and magazines,
Filling our heads with dreams.
Love is the little things.
Love changes everything."
--by Pomplamoose, "Little Things"

Life is all about the little things.  You know, about the things that we think we barely notice but that make a big difference.  You notice when they aren't there.  For example, sunshine.  I know the Sun isn't exactly little, but it's not necessarily something you think much about as you go throughout your day.  Yet, when it's been missing a while you really start to notice.  I personally am addicted to sunshine so I notice pretty quickly.
Something someone says could make a big impact on you (for good or for ill) when it was just a passing remark.  Maybe a 15 minute work out will do wonders for someone's outlook on life at the moment.  Perhaps the opportunity to enjoy nature for a few minutes is enough to relax a whole lot.  It might come down to whether or not you got your morning hug from the one you love.  Heck, for a good amount of people I'd bet whether or not there is coffee will make a big difference on a day (though, those people would most likely argue coffee is no small thing).
The celebration of a birthday.  Green lights all the way to work.  A thank you card.  Getting 'your' parking spot.  A good outing with your dog in training.  Having your favorite cereal for breakfast.  A phone conversation with a good friend.  One word from someone.

It's weird how little things can affect you...

Fresh and New

Welcome!  

*cricket*  *cricket*

Uhm...well yes, it has been a while since I surfaced in the blog-osphere.  Yet, I have returned with a new motivation to write just as inconsistently as I ever did.  (Hey, I'm trying to be realistic here.)  

Hopefully this blog will do a few things for both anyone who happens to read it and myself:

1. For the reader- provide a chuckle or two and some amusement.

2. For the reader- keep you current on my life if you're so inclined.

3. For the reader and me- provide an avenue for me to share things I find fun, helpful, or useful.

4. For me- help me decompress and think things through in writing. 

5. For me- help me exercise my brain and creativity. 

Those are the five I can think of off of the top of my head.  I do so hope this will be beneficial to both parties, even if I am one of 10 billion blogs on the internet filled with inane ramblings of both the famous personalities and the average internet user.  Well, here's adding my two cents in with the rest. 

Good surfing to ya!
