Well that was fun while it lasted…I think

I was cruising on the post a day challenge, then it rolled around to the end of July and it seems to all come to an end for me. I hit a slump that I can’t seem to get myself out of. It is in part to the fact that I have been posting something daily for the last 7 months, and the fact that this time last year we where dealing with my MIL being sick and in the hospital. We have hit the anniversary of her diagnosis with cancer. She passed away in November, so we still have that date to get through. I can’t believe that it has been a full year. Some times it feels like forever ago, others it feels like it just happened and the feelings are all raw right there at the surface.

I am going to try to get back to writing everyday, part of me misses that time that I would spend locked in my own thoughts. I am not sure that I will go back and fill in the few days that I have missed, I think they are important to be recognized as part of this process for me. I can say that I wish I spend more time writing and less time complaining that I don’t have anything to write.

There are a few blog hops/links that I think I am going to participate in, hope that will get me back in the swing of things.

 

I just get in my own way, most of the time.

Crap I just deleted my post instead of posting it. So here we go again.

Let’s see what was I going on about? Oh the fact that I don’t want to give up on the post-a-day challenge. I have put a lot of effort in to this challenge and I don’t want to give up on it. I didn’t know how hard it was going to be to create content everyday.

They suggest writing everyday, but the issue seems to be writing something to publish.

I am writing today’s post and I will commit to getting the review done that I was going to publish on Saturday done and posted tonight.

Nothing to write about… oh my car got hit.

Shattered Mirror

Well let’s see my car was hit Sunday night/Monday morning. There was no note left by whom ever it was that smashed & dashed my car. Most of the damage was cosmetic but the driver’s side mirror was destroyed. This little gift will cost me $500 in insurance deductible, I guess this is why I have “adult” insurance now. The really shitty thing is that lack of responsible adult like behavior from the offending car hitting asshole. I did end up with the passenger side mirror from the car, so I guess that counts for something. Also I have to hope that at some point there will be some sort of karmic payback for this.

I am driving a rental until mine is back to working, again all insurance doing. I can say that this whole thing has freaked me out a bit. I really don’t like driving at this point and time. I am afraid that someone is going to hit me. I was not in the car when it got hit, I was snuggly sleeping in my bed. But for some reason it has had a huge impact on me. Maybe it is just the horror of how thoughtless people can be to each other. That this person can hit someone else property, damage it and just keep on going like nothing happened.

I can not wait to get my car back, the rental is not so cool, don’t get me wrong I am glad to have it but I don’t really like driving it.

I am glad that no one was hurt, and that the car was not a total loss. It sure did mess up my Monday none the less.

Pinterest In Real Life link up!

This is going to be another one of those on Twitter I found… this interesting thing to write about. This one is all about trying something in real life that you find and have pinned at  Pinterest. For those who do not know what Pinterest is, it is a social bulletin  board.  Now not like the olden day meaning of a bulletin board, that was the precursor to chat rooms. It is a virtual board where you pin your “someday” stuff. It is a cool idea you can share your boards with people, take stuff off of their boards and add it to yours. I think it is by invite only at this point but I signed up for the wait list and got an email in a few days.

@libismorgan (Lizz) set up a link for thing that you try from Pinterest so I thought what the heck I may as well. This one is not a craft or recipe, but is fashion related, I hope that is ok.

This is part of the chart that is posted here:

original  link  9gag- how to tie a scarf or here Pinned at Pinterest

This is just one of the many creative ways to wear a scarf that you will find at the link.

They use two thin scarfs to get a really cool effect but i didn’t have two so I just used the one that I had. While I don’t get the same look, I can stay that my scarf that I traditionally spend all day picking at because it moves all over the place throughout the day stayed put. There was no creeping up to trying to choke the life out of me or wonky ends showing up due to rotation. The photo it is hard to tell but the tail and the loop make a cross pattern. I plan on trying some of the others as well.

So this has been my first Pinterest in Real Life post.
