2016 - New Year, New Old Blog

If I had a dollar for every time I decided to write....I'd have about $20. Before I had kids, I loved writing! I actually worked as a Grant Writer for about 8 years and it was awesome!

I still love writing. I look forward to helping my kids out with their English assigments. There was nothing I loved more than a good term paper. Writing is cathartic for me, and dare I say fun? Even technical writing is enjoyable for me (crazy I know!)

WIth this love of writing in my soul, blogging seemed like an instant fit. Writing about myself and the things I love/hate seemed so easy, a match made in heaven. Yes, one would think that, except for the fact that successful bloggers blog a lot and often. Many of them have a standing schedule of daily or weekly blogging. Me, I would do it for a few weeks, crap out and eventually forget about it. Then I would go back and try to "fake posts" like I wasn't taking a huge hiatius because I was catching up on Scrapbooking or watching "Orange is the New Black" binge style like a zombie (shame).

So instead of sticking with that blog I would start a new one so that people who read it (all 2 people besides my Mom and Husband) wouldn't figure out that I abandonded it and started over. Instead of doing that, I have decided to restart this one again, with the hopes that now my life is a bit more stable and that I have more time to be able to dedicate to it, this year I will acutally blog and stay with it.

I also said I would go to the gym and stop drinking wine......That stopped on January 2nd...
