i don't know what to say

Well, the title says it all. And I'm sure it was obvious, but I really haven't had anything to say lately. I used to think about things to write daily. I would mentally write wonderful and interesting posts in my mind throughout the day. But now everything has changed. I can't think of much to say, and what does come to mind is the same old thing, same old nightmares that just want to spill onto my blog's page. I'm tired of talking about the same old nightmares and I'm sure you're tired of hearing about them....

So yeah. other than that I think I really need a bloggy makeover. Does anybody know of a good (cheap) designer? Come on, friend, help a blogger out!

You know what else is crazy and amazing? During my laziness/absence I have accrued 2 followers. Not one but two! Really, who does that? Apparently they must see something redeeming in me--even though my recent posts aren't half the caliber of my first posts. Gosh, I love you people! LOVE YOU!!!


Speaking of which, people love me, too. Namely, Raine, from True Confessions of  Single Mother. She made me the winner for her Pay it Forward contest and she got me an awesome notebook with a sparrow on the front of it, which is super cool, because I love sparrows. I even just bought some plaques for the bathroom wall complete with sparrows. So now I have to look for a winner for my own "Pay it Forward" contest. Watch out, it could be you! Hey, there are no rules, so I can choose anybody I want to! :-D

Well, this post has taken me several hours to write, and it's still not even that good. I'm going to have to put more effort into this writing thing now, as it's just not coming that easily anymore. It's been good, but now I have to sleep. Yeah, I have to work (coherently) tomorrow.

blogging award

I just got my first blogging award, "Honest Scrap," and I'm uber excited (uber is one of my favorite new words to use). There are certain rules that go along with receiving a blogger award. Unfortunately, I don't follow enough blogs! Everybody I watch already has this award. But I promise, I will follow more blogs and find 10 people (or something near that number) to which I will award this prestigious honor.

Honestly, I am super excited about my first blogging award. I have already exclaimed to Athletic Roomie at least 4 times the wonder of my first award!

I am also completely amazed that "laneyandjackson" is following my blog! Thanks for joining up! I'm so glad you're reading my self-published column! Well, it is time that I officially stop using exclamation points and do something productive, like sleep.

Thanks again Raine. I'm so happy to join the coolness club!
