Confessions of a blonde blogger….

Okay, so….I’m apparently extremely shallow…..(please, no exclamations of “duh!” or “and….”)

…anyway, I’m more shallow than I even knew.

Here’s the deal:

I haven’t been great about blogging lately…..for a couple of reasons.  The more noble sounding reason is that I haven’t been well, and I grew weary of blogging about how I didn’t feel well.  The other…more unseemly reason is that my blog-stats seemed to be tanking…..and the lower they fell, the less I felt like blogging……so….

I know, I know…how shallow!  But, it gets worse….

Yesterday, I found out that my blog stats have been incorrect - they are really better….much better than I thought…

So, here I am with a sudden renewed desire to blog…., still feeling just as sick, but blogging….you do the math!

Oh well, I would love to espouse my virtue as a writer…that I write for no other reason save personal expression…a passion for the craft……blah-dee-blah-blah……

And since I am a writer, I could probably convince you of my deepest sincerity…..

But, do not be deceived - I’m nothing more than a shallow blogger looking for approval through the fickle graphs and charts of the “wide world of web”…

That’s me…

My name is Angie, and I just can’t seem to help myself!

So, there you go and there you are.

The first step toward recovery is acknowledging that you have a problem, right?

….I do feel a little better now.

So…peace!

What’s stolen me away…

Forgive me for being so absent lately….

I started putting together a little book of poems, photography and journal excerpts from 2007…

It’s a little like closure for me - finally putting to rest a difficult time in my journey….which was the reason I started blogging in the first place.

Anyway, I finished it today….

You can check it out Here: (”Becoming…a personal journey toward passion and peace”)

Thanks for continuing to read…even when I’ve been so hard to find lately.  It means a lot to me…..

Peace..

The Monday After the Thing in the Thing…

…so maybe I should’ve thought about quitting Starbucks on any other day but the Monday after…well, I’ll just call it that: the Monday after!

But, Byron made me a very good homemade coffee, and I get to stay in today and try to get my wits about me again. Seriously, since my last “episode” I’ve had trouble stringing together sentences. Byron will ask me a question and I will inevitably answer something like, “Uhh, you know the thing in the thing…”. Typing is not much better - it took me three tries just to type the word “Starbucks” correctly…of course that might be the grief talking! :-)

I’ve got lots to do today. Byron says that he thinks they know my little shopping cart girl at the Rescue Mission…where to find her. So, I’ve got to try to track that down. And Kayleigh’s graduation is coming up on Friday, so Byron’s parents are arriving this week. My closet is beginning to look like…well, I’ll come up with a good analogy when I get better. Wow, analogies are like my favorite thing ever, but I can’t think right now…oh well, it is the Monday after.

Anyway, my closet needs some serious attention…and I probably should venture upstairs and tackle the kid’s rooms at some point! Okay, now I’m giving my headache a headache…

I think I’ll blog later when it’s easier to…put together a sentence and then type it!

Peace.

Happy Blogaversary…oh yeah, and goodbye Starbucks!

oh yeah, so i’ve now been officially blogging for one year.

woo-hoo!…ow! that makes my head hurt. so does thinking…and now since my new favorite thing to ponder is compound interest, my head is killing me. but, on the up-side: if i just invest my “starbucks” money in a low risk mutual fund for the next forty years, i could accrue over a million dollars…

…that could buy a whole lot of headache medicine - and fund a village in Africa…and open a Dream Center…and adopt some orphans…and - wow this headache is a doozy. maybe if i just dream about all of this it won’t hurt my head so much.

the baptisms went great! it’s been fun to have people in our home so much lately.

anyway, now i’m going to try to sleep off my shenanigans from this morning…and dream of accruing interest and mutual funds and…

…well, of finding my little shopping cart girl and taking her to get ice cream and every pair of shoes we can find that she likes…and dreams like that.

okay, so the thought of that has just ended my starbucks addiction…cold turkey. i’m completely serious - every time i want to buy another over-priced latte, i’ll just imagine her face…

i have to go now…it’s bad enough to try to type with a doozy of a headache, but now i have serious planning to do, all while becoming ever-more emotional…hey, i’m a drama queen! it’s what i do! :-)
so, all-in-all, it’s been a pretty good…but interesting, day.

and now off to dream.

peace to you…
