Yes, I killed the fish.

I was going to say that moving in April put a damper on my blog writing, but who am I kidding?  I've been the world's worst blogger.  If my blog were a pet it would have starved to death months ago which wouldn't do much for my reputation as a pet owner.  I'm not so bad at keeping land animals alive, but aquatic friends are quite another thing.  Fiance said my (former) fish tank was the Auschwitz of the fish world.  I totally resent that.  I didn't MEAN to kill them.  To be fair, I think the last four brought something home from the store.

Anyway, I digress.

I want to update more often mainly to just have a place to document our lives, but also to possibly connect with like-minded people (which I've probably already said before).  I should have been writing regularly for two years now but I let the opportunities pass and didn't grab a hold of the memories.  I hope to change that.  Addie turned 2 last week and her personality is so fun.  I want to document the funny things she says and the silly personality quirks she has. 

For example, she learned the word "impossible" today and has NO idea what it means.  So she walked up to Fiance and said, "Daddy, I love you IMPOSSIBLE!"

Fiance: "Oh, do you love mommy impossible, too?"

Addie: "No."

*sigh*

I also basically abandoned my 101 Goals in 1,001 Days project.  The only place I had it posted was on here where I never saw it.  I REALLY want to finish a list, even if it contains some things that fail, but I have to stop forgetting it even exists.  There is a program I have on my Nook that keeps track of lists and tasks which would work perfectly to keep it in front of me.  I am also going to put a copy up somewhere, like the refrigerator.  (Cue ridiculous is-your-refrigerator-running joke.)  I have already chosen my goals so I'm set to start on Sept. 20th (my birthday!).  I would just start tomorrow but hey, why not start on my quarter of a century birthday instead?  Easy to keep track of, anyway.  Wish me luck!

I have quite a few ideas for blog posts in the coming days/weeks.  I've been writing topics down so I'm hoping that will help me stay on top of this thing.  At least I won't run out of things I'd like to share.  Seriously though.  I need to invent a device that will light a "Write-that-blog-entry!" fire right under my ass.  Does anyone need a day job?  :P

  1. We won two goldfish at the Pendleton fair a couple years back and they both started getting black spots on them like lepers and eventually both died off no matter how hard we tried to save them. We haven't got another fish tank since.
    I also started keeping my lists on my Kindle because I have the same type of thing on there. Otherwise I abandon them as well. LOL. I need to make a new list though, how sad is it I totally forgot about the 101 in 1,001 Days project!
    They have these dry erase boards at Walmart for $3 that hang on the fridge and they are a decent size I write my to do list/meal plan for that day on there so I will remember and I can just erase things as I go.

    So glad your back to blogging! Addie is hilarious and so cute! I can't wait to hear more of her funny sayings, and read more of your posts! :)
