Anyone? Anyone?

Does anyone even blog anymore? I did back in '11 and so did a lot of my friends. I was just looking over their blogs and it appears that we all stopped around the same time. Where did we all go? Do we not have anything to say anymore?

In looking at Facebook recently I've noticed that the majority of things on there are things that people are "sharing" with their "friends". Meaning, someone else came up with it and you just hit the "share" button to show your friends something cool that you didn't feel the time or desire to put into it yourself. 

Are we really that busy? Are we really that zoned out that we can't even come up with a few moments to let our "friends" know how we are doing? 

As I updated my blog with pictures from my phone I thought, "I wonder if there is a quicker way to get these pictures on my blog?" I didn't even want to take 5 minutes to write something out to go along with the pictures. Thankfully I remembered that I can email them from my phone to my blog. Oh wait.... That's how I'm updating this blog right now.... For shame. 

At least I didn't have to get up off my bed to post to my blog.

Quilting

I've been looking at these two websites this weekend. www.diaryofaquilter.com and www.freemotionproject.com

I must admit, I'm kind of fascinated. Now, I've done my fair share of sewing-related projects... Patchwork quilt, scripture case, purse, jean quilt with flannel backing, notecards (yes, I have sewed paper), hemming children's clothing, patching holes in children's clothing... But I was looking at these quilts with different filler patterns and I'm getting a quilting bug.

But here's my dilemma... Where the heck will I find the time? I work 8am-5pm, Monday through Friday. I come home and devote my entire evening to kid-related activities. The weekends are slam packed with... relaxing from the week. Hahahaha... Gotcha there, right? I'm seriously so drained I barely want to get up to cook. (But I force myself since I love food and want good stuff since I "technically" have time to do so.) I just have to suck it up prioritize my "wants" in my life, I guess. Do I want to make a quilt? Or do I want to relax? Do I want to veg and continue to gain even more weight? (Don't worry, we'll get to that subject soon...) Or do I want to get off my butt and do something productive with my time?

Too many decisions... I think I need a nap....

Back? Maybe....

I need an outlet. Not a baby picture, funny kid-saying sort of outlet. I need a mommy complaining, husband is tired of listening, working too much for friends time, kids are too young to hear my ramblings kind of outlet....

I don't complain too much. Really. But I do get tired of things and I have no where to discuss them.

But wait. I don't really want to discuss... I just want my opinion heard, validated and agreed with... I'm thinking the world wide web isn't the best place... But if my feelings get too hurt, I'll just quit, right after I cry.

Cry. Quit.

Sounds like a plan. :)

(Oh. And if I do throw in a few funny kid sayings, that's my choice.... cuz it's my blog. And you can be erased. :)

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Stay awake....

Do you think if you had eye drops with caffeine in them then it would help you stay awake? My eyes are always red just because of my contacts, so what's a little more red from caffeine? At least I would be able to stay awake at work, eh?

What's One More Blog?

As I pulled out the playdoh for my 1 year old today, I got a whiff of childhood, if only for a moment.

What's one more blog? Three, four, maybe more?
