Excuses, Diet Coke, and Laziness, Oh My

How else to title this post? It has been WEEKS since I last blogged, and that has been for many reasons. Well, actually excuses is more like it.
Here is what happened. First, I was having weeks and weeks of really great days in a row. And then I discovered something about me. I really write more when I have angst going on. It is hard for me to just be, and be happy, and know what to write. I don’t know if I have enough content to keep you all amused when I am at peace. Probably if I had more of a goal with the blog it would give me more reason to write everyday. But since its intention is to be a place for me to work things out, and I hadn’t needed to work anything out, it had been a not needed place for me.
The second thing that happened is that I started drinking diet coke again. Which set off more unhealthy habits which then sent me back into a spiral of not being in such an awesome mood all the time. I know that I need to get off of my crack. Why must it be so hard? I am working hard on drinking just one a day again so that I can get back off the stuff. Sigh.
And then there is the laziness. After getting out of the habit and ritual of blogging, it has become a laziness thing. There. I admitted it. I am lazy. Not angsty and lazy. Not a good combination for this blogger.
Here is some of the marvelous stuff that has been going on. I got to do a guest post for the awesometastic Elizabeth Potts Weinstein. If you have not read it yet – check it out here.
My mom moved in with us for the summer. It is a super long story. If you really want the details, email me and I will let you know. Just know that it is total awesomesauce and marvelousness and fantastic.
I bought my first Mac after being a Dell girl for years. I am still trying to figure it all out. It is super cute for sure.
I started Couch to 5 K. I have done it before – about six and a half years ago. I have total faith that I can finish it. Please send some prayers and good vibes and etc along to me that I finish this. I so need something right now that I can complete and have some success at.
So, what keeps you blogging? Any tips for me on how to keep motivated when I am not all angsty……Post them below in the contacts.
As always, I thank you for checking out my blog. Stay marvelous!

    I've got no advice on the blogging stuff only because I've been in the same boat for 2 years. Let the good times roll and no blogging occurs (i.e. meet a man, fall in love, get married and be happy=no blogging). I send prayers and happy wishes to you in your efforts for couch to 5k. I know you are an amazing woman who can accomplish any goal she truly sets her heart on. God Bless YOU!!! Enjoy your Mom being with you...I wish I could have my Mom come stay for the summer.
  • What's this couch to 5k thing? I am going to run (jog) a 5 k on July 3rd.. I have completed so far in 46 min (outside on a track) and 44:30 inside on a treadmill...
    Hey, take it from me, it's easier to quit drinking altogether than to try to manage 1 diet coke per day. It will save you energy and set you free. Just ask me... Love, DAD
  • Ya know....When things are going well in my life...Everything just flows. There is no time or want or need for stopping to write about it. My diary lies in wait. My facebook page tends to go days without an update. Why is that? I think it's because misery loves company. When there is a task that I don't want to do or a frustration I am facing I want to talk about it. When I am happy and things are going my way I am too busy enjoying it to talk about it. Kinda bugs me. Maybe that needs to be a habit that I change. Focus more on sharing the good things. ;-)

    I love your title. Awesome. Let's see....mine would be....Writing and Angsting and Not Cooking, Oh Frak. I've been pretty steadily blogging about 2 x a week- and that seems like a good schedule for me. Some of them are really short. Some are videos that take a lot of time. What works for me is to have several posts going at a time- Every time I have an inkling of an idea i jot it down. Some stick and others don't. Well- it kind of works for me. Today anyway. xo
