HAPPY BLOGDAY TO ME!
Today is the one year anniversary of my life as a blogger! I know it sounds stupid, but this really was the creative outlet I needed to keep me sane with all the changes I’ve had in my life in the last year. In the last year I’ve attempted to get used to a new job, I’ve become a firefighter’s wife with all that entails, I was stuck alone in England forever, and I bought a new house. I’ve also been inspired to take more pictures, and while I’m not a pro, I really love doing it and I now carry a camera everywhere I go. My new blog’s resolution for the next year is to buy a new camera, take a photography class, and to learn how to create a blog that isn’t boring looking. Anyone want to help me with that?
In light of the fact that I haven’t written in days, I was remise in wishing my dear husband a very happy birthday. I thought that the fact that he had to work on his birthday was going to ruin the day, but instead it was a really good day. That morning he got his presents, then I baked him a cake and at about 4:00 I took it over to the station. Now usually when I visit the fire station, I stay about 10 minutes and then I leave. I’m really conscience about not overstaying my welcome, and I never sit on the chairs in the living room. Its a weird firefighter thing. But on his birthday, the rules were different. The guys insisted that I hang out and be a rider for the rest of the day. They even bought enough dinner to include me, which has never happened. I stayed until about 9:30 that night and went on calls with the, watched them spray Ryan with foam for his birthday, had a GREAT steak dinner, took the engine to Starbucks, ate birthday cake, and watched TV. I don’t know about Ryan, but for me it was a good birthday celebration!
Yesterday I took another sick day, mostly because of how my company has its rules about sick time and how it counts against you, but also because my stomach aches at the thought of work. And truthfully, when Ryan got home yesterday morning I passed out for a THREE HOUR nap in the morning. I know there’s something wrong when my body does something like that.
Last night after all that rest I felt up to going to the theater. We have season tickets to the Broadway touring series. The show right now was Annie, and there were little girls everywhere! Most of them were wearing adorable little dresses, some of which looked like princess costumes left over from Halloween. It made me really appreciative that my parents exposed me early to the theater too.
Now its Saturday and I’m flying solo again this weekend. I have not a single plan for the whole weekend! I’m going to try to convince africankelli to meet me at a museum in a little bit. Anyone wanna hit the bars tonight? ;-)
Happy bloganniversary! Good thing that you enjoy your own blog, that is what counts. "Sleeping is the best medicine" was our pediatrician’s quote, I think it applies not only to children. I would love to hit the bars, but I am afraid there is a small logistic problem, I wouldn’t make it on time! Have a nice evening with your friend. Michele sent me .
Happy Blog-aversary! Have a great weekend!
man, I wanna hit the bars! I’ll just hop on my new bike and be right there…..
greetings, michelle sent me. now that that is out of the way:
Congratulations! i know that our sixth month as bloggers was big to me, so a year is awesome. blogging is a wonderful outlet, and for us, a great way to keep all of our family and friends up on our lives. i remember when i hit 5k hits, it felt IMPORTANT. im glad im not the only one who feels that way about thier blog!
Congrats on hitting the ONE YEAR mark! I am really enjoying reading your blog, it’s become a daily treat for me.
As far as sick time goes…one also has to take care of one’s mental health. If you are not ‘feeling up to it’ or are dreading the thought of going in, you clearly need a Mental Health Break! Ain’t Nuttin’ Wrong Wit Dat.
I hope you meet some of the goals you’ve set for your next blog-year. I too, would love to take a photography class.
Cheers Dear! Have fun hitting the bars.
Dude. We SO should have hit the bars.
Happy blogday! I know we’ve never met, but I do enjoy reading your blog. You write well and with honesty, and I feel like I can relate, being a 27-year-old new blogger myself. Especially when I don’t get to see my boyfriend for a while because he’s being a musician. Congratulations and keep up the good work!
Happy blogday for sure! I always love stopping by here and reading what you have to offer! I really hope you keep up with the photography thing. It is something that I am working on as well. It is such a great feeling when you take a really cool picture and can’t wait to share it. Thank you for stopping by my site the other day as well and for the encouragement you gave on my blogger block. I am getting back to it slowly and always feel inspired coming by other blogs like yours. So, congratulations again and keep up the great posts!
