Why I Don't Blog Any More

2 witty remarks
Yeah, if you have been following this blog for a while, you've probably noticed that it is dead. It has passed on. It has ceased to be. If it wasn't nailed to its perch, it would be pushing up the daisies.

Anyway, here's why.

Numero Uno. It's 2011, and I am on the Facebook. That's actually a much easier way to share photos, hilarious kid stories, and the many profound thoughts I have on an almost hourly basis. It takes me like 10 seconds to update my FB status, even with our ultra slow internet. It used to take me 45 minutes to an hour to write a blog post, especially when Blogger didn't want me sharing pictures.

And in truth, if you look at my blogroll over on the side there, you'll notice that I'm not the only one who's stopped blogging. So I'm not going to feel guilty about it. If you haven't already, friend me on Facebook - I promise I'll make you laugh.

Numero Dos. My friend and I kind of started a business, and it takes up almost all of my time. (In a good way.)  A lot of my other hobbies like scrapbooking, writing, *cough*cleaningmyhouse*cough* have taken a backseat. And I am truly okay with that - as weird as it sounds, I think that creating and selling upscale American Girl doll clothes is what I need to be doing at this time in my life.

I actually started learning how to sew the same summer I commenced this blog. Funny how the one has now eclipsed the other - back in 2006, I'd never have guessed.

...No, there is too much. Let me sum up.

4 witty remarks
I. Had bronchitis all November. Spent time alternately coughing/sleeping/begging for death. Got over it.

II. Thanksgiving. Kevin & Celeste, Catherine & Matt, Mike & Mandy & Associates. There was much turkey; also, football.


III. Met up for realsies with my internet friend Meg - my psychic twin in many ways, except that she works for Duke.

IV. Turned 31. Got $ for fabric (Matt's parents) and a ruffle foot (Matt). Ruffle foot has been removed from packaging; that's about it.

V. Finished epic custom order of American Girl sewing. V. proud of self.

VI. Betsy's 8th birthday.

VII. Matt's parents arrived for 12 day visit. Used them almost immediately for free babysitting: Matt and I had 10th anniversary. Went to Macaroni Grill for dinner; got free dessert upon showing waitress pics of our wedding lunch at (different) Macaroni Grill.

VIII. Betsy's 8th birthday party. Collective noun for a group of 8 year old girl: a squee.

IX. Molly and Dad came out for Betsy's baptism. Saw 'The Voyage of the Dawn Treader' with Molls. Epic.

X. Betsy's baptism. Cutest girl ever. Could not be prouder.

XI. Many cookies prepared; consumed.

XII. Snow.


XIII. Christmas Eve 'All the snacks in the world' at Mike & Mandy's house. There was goat cheese, and then there wasn't because I ate it all.

XIV. Christmas Day. Many photos taken. Kids love toys.





XV. Saw 'Wicked' with Matt on Christmas Night. Wore foxy new clothes from husband. 'Popular' stuck in head for approx. 72 hrs.

XVI. In-laws back to Utah.

XVII. Watched HBO's 'The Pacific.' First half = bleh; second half = almost as good as BoB.

XVIII. New Year's Eve: cheese fondue, Jurassic Park (Porter's new obsession). Not resolutions, but goals:
  • Sew one thing for ME a month;
  • Get Amy potty trained;
  • Find a job.
XIV. Happy 2011!
