Blogging is harder than it looks...

To all my interwebs friends who blog religiously weekly or daily: I envy you. I envy your witty banter and your endless fountain of ideas. I want that. I want witty banter and endless ideas. So, what am I going to do about it?

I recently asked on Twitter and got ONE response. But it was a pretty good one. Create folders on your PC that involve blog ideas. Ok, done. And after one measly day, I have zero ideas in said folder. What is wrong with me?

Ok, short answer is probably nothing. Long answer is... I am distractable and easily bored. I have no job right now. I am starting classes at the end of August, but most of my day consists of taking Will to and from work and housewifery. I can't find the motivation to finish any one project and easily lose interest. I had a good blog idea, but the thought of actually writing that idea makes me bored. The idea? Product reviews. Good idea (I think) in theory. Making them interesting enough that even I'd want to read them? Not happening. And I can't make myself write something I wouldn't want to read. So, maybe I can incorporate that idea into this blog. When I find a product awesome (or sucky) enough to write about.

So, the best answer I can find as to why I love to write but hardly ever do? I'm scared. I'm scared that this will be shit, people will criticize it, or (worse) not even read it. Am I paranoid? A little. So, I guess the point is... here is my 18th (exaggerated) attempt at writing a blog. I have no expectations for it to be kickass or awesome. But mostly just for it to endure. Let's see how I go with that goal.

A pile of thank you's and invites...

This week's goals: Complete thank you's from the bridal shower this past weekend and mail out invitations for the wedding.

Quite hefty goals.

Along with that, I want to visit Ashford University this week and complete my application for admission. Then, onward and upward to my future with Will and my future as a teacher, both of which I am VERY excited about! :-)

Will talked about moving to California today. I'm not sure how I feel about this. Fantastic weather... and 1500 miles away from my family. Hmmm...

I guess I can't think of anything else too exciting going on in my life... I've been working about 22 hours a week (WAY less than I'd like), helping my extended family, and planning a wedding. It keeps me plenty busy.
