It comes with cute pictures of babies and kids, lots of griping and romancing about a busy mom's schedule, and fun travel logs and outing details from the last seven years or so. Going once, going twice...
Ah... I wish I had more time to sit down in front of a screen and type things. Really. I confess I have spent much more time "consuming" internet time, rather than "creating" -- now that I have Wade's iPhone. I scroll through facebook and read all the dumb articles everyone is posting that no one really needs or cares about. (i.e. why we're not supposed to order lemons in restaurants because they have so much bacteria; what time of day is best to drink our 8 glasses of water; how to make homemade donuts; why some people favor the Hobby Lobby decision and others don't, etc. etc. etc....) But it's not easy to type from the phone, especially something lengthy like a blog post.
So, I just read. And say "hmmm" after I've read enough junk. And I turn it off and go to bed and wonder why it is so late. And I wonder when I will ever resurrect this blog again?!
Brian is partly to blame. Actually, maybe just barely to blame. But he was "iffy" about a draft I wrote regarding his political campaign. And he still hasn't weighed in on whether it was postable or whether he could edit parts and make it something I could put up here. And I mentally took that to mean my blog was "on hold" until I could get that post up. Ya with me here?
Well, I better just scrap it and move on, if I'm ever going to move on, right?
That's what this post right here is for: Blog Giveaway.
Yes, there really is a giveaway, and no it is NOT the blog itself, as much as I'm sure you were all dying to take over for me. But really, here are the details:
If you want to be part of my giveaway, leave me a comment... preferably with some kind words of encouragement or something thoughtful for me. I need it, and I'm not kidding. I could share details -- and WILL in my next post, promise. But for now I'll just say, I need a little loving "push" here, if anyone cares to help a wilting blogger regain some momentum. I love to write, and I NEED to write because it is therapy to my soul. And I need therapy right now... understand?? So, please leave me a comment here, if you're reading this, and you're a human, and I have some kind of personal relationship with you. :) Okay?
If you DO leave me a comment (which may require that you get off your iPhone and actually type something on the computer, ahem,) in the next 10 days or so (that's how long I let comments build before I have to manually moderate them to avoid the spam), I'll send you something. In the mail. (And it won't be toenail clippings or the dried-out end of a ballpoint pen, like my cousin once sent to me, I promise.) I'm not sure what I'll send yet, and it may take me awhile (since I anticipate an overwhelming response here -- ha!, and we're going on vacation next week to the coast)... but, well... whatever I eventually send, I'll try to make sure you'll like it. Aren't you intrigued?! Oh yeah, be excited. I am! :)
And... that's it for now, folks. Happy July! I'm off to bed, hoping Brian will eventually make it here too, even though he hasn't for the past several nights. Hope is better than frustration, right? So let's hope for him, k? :)
Good night! and here's a picture for you. It's me and Camille, 10 days after she was born. I'm actually not a huge fan of nakey babies, but this one was sweet enough, and I sure do love this little girlie! Enjoy...
