Okay, okay. I've been a bad blogger.
And it's not because there's been nothing to blog about, either! (I dedicate that double negative to my mother- and sister-in-laws, both English teachers.) I even have a bunch of pictures to go along with the Peebles' current events!
Until I actually upload those and take the time to write about them, I've decided to give you a list. It's a list of things that make me feel worse than realizing I haven't blogged about life lately. In no particular order, but still numbered:
1. I work really hard on some project and the first thing someone says (okay, I'll be honest, probably anything said in the first 2 minutes) is negative. Why do I want approval so much, anyway?
2. I say "Really, don't worry about it" for the kah-gillionth time when someone continuously apologizes for something for which one "oops, sorry!" would have been more than sufficient. (I don't just feel annoyed, I feel bad that I can't communicate that I'm really not bothered by something. I feel like people unecessarily apologize to me often.)
3. We're parked on the road in front of a friend's house and I open the door over their lawn to get in the passenger side. I sit in the car. It goes down - a lot. So much, in fact, that the door is now stuck in their grass and I can't pull the door closed without getting back out and trying again with the door not opened so wide. Our friends wave goodbye as we finally drive off.
I wish I could say #3 had only happened once or twice.
Well, I've got a few other things I've committed to getting done asap, so no promises on the blog other than I will try harder. Like another blogging friend recently said, I'm hoping that writing a little will help get me going again!
Make me feel better and post a comment of something that makes you feel worse than me taking almost 3 weeks away from posting on here! That should be really easy to think of something for everyone other than my parents, for whom my silence is more of a tragedy. Here's an example: You're happy to see you have just enough cereal left for breakfast. You pour milk in your bowl and then realize the milk has gone bad. Later you begin to think you shouldn't have eaten it.
It doesn't have to be funny. If you're unsure, here's an easy fill-in-the-blank sentence: "I feel worse when I have to change __________ than when you don't post." Fill in the blank with something like a diaper, a flat tire, or my toothbrush.
