When I started this blog, I was very aware of a few things...1) as a huge procrastinator, I would put off blogging, and then would finally just give up, figuring everyone else had given up on me ever blogging again; 2) I lead a pretty boring life, to be quite honest, and didn't really know what I'd write about; and 3) I'm a pretty private person. Not for privacy's sake, but for insecurity's sake. There's something about putting myself out for all to read about that brings out all of the insecurities of a middle school girl; and lastly, I had been warned about "Blog Guilt", that comes when you don't blog for a while, and well, I just don't need any more reasons to feel guilty. However, in spite of being a procrastinating, boring, middle-school-girl-on-the-inside, I hereby promise to do better. So, without further ado, my next blog post....
Yesterday, we got a snow day from work. Well, technically, not a "snow day", but that's what we Missourians in our office called it. It was better than a snow day, though, because we don't have to make it up like we did in school. It was a day to welcome Edouard. "Who is Edouard?" you may ask. Shortly followed by "Why didn't his parents spell his name correctly?". Edouard is our all bark and no bite tropical storm that came to town yesterday. Not that I really wanted lots of flooding...but he was pretty unimpressive. I'm just glad he barked loud enough to cause HFBC to close its doors for the day so I could get a day at home to do nothing. Absolutely nothing. The mayor said not to go out unless we needed to. So, I submitted and stayed home. I didn't even get out of my comfy pj pants or put on makeup. It was so great. I decided that since it was Tuesday and I wouldn't have been able to clean house under normal circumstances, I wouldn't do it. It was the perfect rainy do-nothing day. I curled up and took 2 naps when Laurel took naps, ate what I wanted when I wanted, played, and watched Ellen and about 275 news-blurbs showing it raining in Galveston (which, as a side note, I had to feel pretty sorry for the poor girl that had to cover that story and stand in the rain for 4 hours). One semi-productive thing that I did, however, was find a stack of thank you cards that I hadn't written from when Laurel was born...6 months ago. Dang it!! I think I wrote 2 of the 15. So, if you get a way overdue thank you note from me, you can thank Edouard.
And, if you sent a gift, but have yet to get a thank you, I'm terribly sorry, but it is coming:)
You would think that this would have been energizing, but apparently it was pretty hard work, because I racked out on the couch about 8:30. Pretty rough day with that Edouard. And now, I'm trying to get motivated to have a normal day. And, start thinking about my next post, because I am going to do better... if for no other reason than to prove to Kevin that I will keep up with it.
