Write a blog post everyday!!.... Not.

After the last time I failed to complete one of those "Write a story/Take a picture/Make a post EVERYDAY" I told myself I would never try to do one again. Now I never failed because I suck at these things, but because I (would sometimes just forget but mostly) would always feel like what I had to post was not good enough. These things, in theory, are meant to promote creativity by doing exactly what they do, force you to think of something new every day. I, on the other hand, end up feeling pressured to make something at least mildly interesting every day, and my life just isn't that interesting! My every day photos included a lot of pictures of my cat and my posts.. well, they ended after less than a week.

You might be wondering what brought up this chain of thought! (You probably aren't, but that's okay.) I really wanted to write another blog post today but:
1) Did not want to feel like I had to start writing a post everyday
2) Feel that, even though I don't have anything interesting to write about, I could not be excited about rediscovering my blog and write a post just because - even if it has very little interest.

So, I am going to stop feeling like my posts always have to be interesting. I have a blog for me and my posts are for me!

Now, here is the really not interesting stuff that you've been waiting for! Drum roll, please!

*Drum Roll*

I have been house sitting 2 dogs, 1 cat, 3 hamsters, and 2 bunnies since last Wednesday. One of the hamsters had babies the day before I got here.. They ate the babies while I was here. The cat hates me, and I can't tell if the bunnies want to be held or if they want to bite me.. But the puppies love me and cuddle with me every night, so that's good!

Do you have a blog?

My boyfriend randomly asked me how to start a blog. Not even thinking that I had a blog here, I recommended BlogSpot. Then he asked the dreaded question......

"Do you have a blog?"

Before answering, I signed in to see what I had written here. Luckily there isn't much and it isn't nearly as embarrassing as my GlamBlog or Glog or whatever the myspace inspired version of this was. It was just as junior-high-hot-topic-goth-this-isn't-just-a-phase-mom phase as it sounds.

I have a feeling that he:
A) Will not be starting a blog.
B) Will not find my blog.

So I let him know that it exists, but did not tell him the name. TinyDino was not my most creative, but I am pretty proud of "Cloudy with a Chance of Chaos."

But I realized that the last time I posted was exactly two years ago today! The roommate is gone and we don't have a new one yet, I still live at home for the time being but am saving for my own place, I dropped out of college and started a much better job at a family owned jewelry store, and I am in an overall better place in my life.

As I always find myself saying, I should get back into writing/journal-ling/blogging! I'll try to make that resolution stick this time.
