Gusto, Where Are You?

When I started this blog I was all gun-ho.  After awhile I felt like nothing was happening worth writing about.  I figured everyone the five people that read this were tired of reading about my kids, loaner kids and our day to day things.  However, when I read other blogs they are writing about those things, AND have like 700 followers!!!  I'm going to find my gusto again.  To help get me started I'm challenging myself for the month of September.  My challenge is to post a picture everyday.  I know this doesn't seem like much, but for me it is.  So starting Wednesday there will pictures galore :)  And maybe I will REALLY get going again and throw in some blogs too!

What If It Were You?

I was reading Momtog today, a photography blog I follow.  She had an interesting post today that got me thinking.  She talks about a foundation called "Be The Match."  It is a foundation that allows you to sign up to be a bone marrow donor.  It's a very simple procedure, a cheek swab.  I just completed the regisration myself, and I recommend you all to do the same.  Just think of the lives you could help!  What if that was your mother, father, brother/sister, husband or child that needed that donor.  Wouldn't you like to think someone, somewhere signed up at Be The Match?  I encourage all of you to register!  It only takes five minutes of your time.  Step away from blogland for just a few minutes and help save a life :)

Sad, But True

As I was reading through my long list of blogs I got to "A Few Of My Favorite Things."  She had linked up to this post, and let me tell you it's pretty good.  If you check it out read some of the comments too.  People are adding to the list, and its hilarious!  I didn't read through all the comments (there are like 300!), but there are some good ones!  Check it out...it will give you a good laugh!

10 Reasons Having A Toddler Is Like Being At A Frat Party

Hello, My Name is Carri, and I Have an Addiction

I am here to admit that I'm addicted to blogs.  I can't help it!  When I find a new one, I will go back to their first post and read to the present.  Is that normal?  Please tell me you do this too?  If you don't just lie and say you do to make me feel better!

This addiction has also caused my "notes" and "lists" to grow.  I've always been a note maker (blame that on my OCD and forgetfulness!).  But now, now my notes are long and detailed!  They say what items are needed for the project, what blog it's on, and the date they posted (because it can take a LOT of frustrating hours looking for a post).  My poor little notebook is getting it's wear and tear these days! 

All these blogs also make me feel like I need to complete a "project" every day, or a least one a week.  That's crazy, right?  I know others have these same addictions, so please admit it.  Make me feel a little less crazy!

On another, yet similar note.  I found a new blog today.  Julie had commented on one of my previous posts, so I HAD to check her out.  (there is that pesky addiction thing again)  Well she now has another follower, and she also added 5 "projects" to my list!  Thanks for that Julie! Ha!  Seriously check her out she has some great ideas!
