what to do?


I keep coming back here to see how many comments I've gotten on the past 3 entries.
I believe that would be..1, 2, and 1 respectively. Oh wait...someone just posted another comment on that last entry.

*goes to check it*
*smiles.....it wasn't my mother! LOL

no seriously..My mom doesn't know about this site. She comments enough over on Facebook. You may have seen her there. The sarcastic one. Or sometimes just the one asking questions about my silly status updates b/c she takes them seriously.

But anyway....
I was kinda bummed b/c noone was commenting my entries. I guess my real life isn't interesting enough.
But then I decided, that's ok. I can post other stuff here.

but what? I'm not witty like a lot of the women I read here.
And as much as I like to eat, posting a recipe a day, like a friend is doing elsewhere, isn't me. I'd hate to poison someone.

I love pictures. I could do a Pic-a-day type thing. But I'm not a great photographer, and sometimes I take cell phone pics, and they turn out yellowy.
But that may be the way to go.
A Pic-a-day.

Maybe.

So..let me find a good one to start with.

mmmmmmmmmm.....a nummy cupcake from The Bakerman, a bakery that a friend raves about all the time. Molly and I decided to try it out on our shopping trip the other day.

So..now that I know what kind of entries to do, I can keep them shorter and more entertaining maybe.

and now..I should go to bed. It's back to school tomorrow, and if I fall asleep at my desk, 6 yr olds will take over and declare mutiny!!

Honey, some entries will get lots of comments and others may not get any comments at all...especially (strangely enough) on the weekends. Since I changed to blogging from the "diaries" we used to keep online, I've found that to be true. And sometimes you just have to keep blogging, putting yourself out there, and don't worry about the comments. Kind of like in "Field of Dreams"...if you blog it, they will come. LOL

Oh, and I haven't commented lately cause of painting, packing, ladder falling (LOL), etc. But I'm around...always around.

So, when ya comin' to town to see the new (to us) digs? ;)

Love you!

I hate when I dont get any comments, I wonder if anyone has read what I have written. But sometimes we just do not have time to comment; but because you mentioned it, I will comment just to show you someone is looking: Nice post, and you are very interesting.

I read mostly over at the other place. I'll be honest, I am not so sure how I feel about the whole blogging thing anymore. The diary is a bit better because there are those few that I do keep up with and I have been spreading my wings over there a bit more...

But I'll end up keeping the blog too and writing there when it strikes.

I'm the same way...I wonder why I'm not getting comments, and if maybe nobody's reading it. But then I hear about somebody reading it that I had no idea was, so who knows how many people do that? And I figure I'm writing for myself mostly, anyway.

I read your blog because you ARE so real; I like that! Too many folks out there are on a mission to impress by using flash and glam (or down right lies), or to make a buck. Sometimes I forget to comment, but I read each and every thing you post. I know, creepy, since you don't even know me! I'm on Facebook again...we could be "friends!"

So..it's a new year. And I haven't posted here since..umm..May. I have been thinking of deleting this blog..or at least all the entries in it, and starting over. Maybe a school blog. I see tons of cute ones everyday when I'm perusing pinterest. I could do that. maybe. no...probably not. But I might try. This place did not turn out the way I wanted it to. I have my personal "diary" blogs/journals elsewhere. This one is too public for that anymore. I should make it something fun. I don't want to lose it. Erica made it so cute for me. I don't even know how to do that... or, for that matter, delete the entries I have here. I can't find the "dashboard" button that use to be there. hmmmm.. This may take more time than I thought.

Alphabee Thursday: E is for Expectations

Image
Today is Alphabee-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter E. is for yep...that's right. Expectations Such a big word. Dictionary.com defines it as Something expected. hmmm....kinda vague, so I looked up "EXPECT": 1.to look forward to; regard as likely to happen; anticipate the occurrence or the coming of 2. to look for with reason or justification: There are certain things I just expect in life: * I expect the light to come on when I flip the switch. * I expect the microwave to pop my popcorn perfectly in about 3 minutes. * I expect whatever I'm plugging into the electrical socket to work when I turn it on. * I expect to be given correct change when paying for a purchase. I also have expectations of people in my life. *I expect people to do what they say they will do *I expect my children to do what I ask of them, when I ask it *I expect kindness instead of rudeness in public *I expect honesty from others. *I expect my dog to jump all over me as...

C is for Crayon

Image
Today is Alphabe-Thursday. That means my blog is brought to you by the letter C...so let's get right down to it. is for ahhh...the simplicity of crayons! An essential tool in my profession, and yet such a vital part of our lives. Crayons have the ability to color our world. They add life to simple drawings, brighten up the darkest of pictures, and create rainbows on rainy days. After completing a writing assignment my students will often ask...."Do we have to draw a picture?" "Of course you do!! And use your crayons!" I will reply. And then the real feelings of their topic show through. Without color, how dull our lives would be. No yellow sunshiny days. No pink cotton candy. No blue skies and green grass. Lollipops would be tasteless and lemonade would be just water. The fashion industry would go bust and movies would not be worth seeing. Crayons add life. They add spirit. And they make me smile. Even tho a wee little piece of one was the bane of my world on M...
