Am I having a midlife crisis?
Dearest Blog
I'm feeling like I need to shake things up around here. You are becoming predictable, prescriptive and quite frankly I'm getting a little bit bored with our relationship.
Now don't get me wrong, I really do love you and all the visitors and lovely relationships you bring, but I am getting itchy pants to crank things up a notch or two. Lets talk about stuff, real stuff that I never really dare to confess or talk about here. Yes, there are many of your peer blogs that do do this and they are the ones to blame for inspiring me to getting down to some brass tacks...beyond knitting, crochet and sewing. Yes, you heard what I said, beyond those fabulous magical things I do with my hands.
You even admitted that you are getting bored with hosting my thrifty finds and creations of the yarn kind and that you were hungry for an interlude of different posts before going back to my safe usuals.
You see it all began when I discovered Veggie Mama's blog, she made me laugh and almost cry with her posts she has started this October called "31 days of Confessions" which was originally inspired by Fat Mum Slim's post on 50 things to blog about when you get writers block or in my case writers boredom!
So late into the recesses of last night I came up with my own version of "confessions" to shake you up a bit....
Look I made a post card for you on the white mosaic photograph I took at Park Guell in Barcelona this summer and this is what I going to do.
Every few days when I have the time I'm going to be sending you 10 postcards about some form of confession. Am I crazy lady? Yes! Am I going to reveal more about myself than what I publically should? Uum yes I think so! Will I regret having written this post in the morning? Probably! And last, but not least, Am I having a midlife crisis? I don't think so, but then again at 43 I might be and you may just want to gently tell me this in the comments below if my blog hasn't already sent me loads of emails with big warning notices!
Inspired by the topics that Veggie Mama chose, I will be choosing 10 of them to have some fun with here. Here are some examples:
1.The thing that happened in high school that pretty much changed
my life forever
2. The day I left home
3. That lie I told that I got away with (or didn�t!).
4. The hardest thing I�ve ever been through.
5. 9 things I just can�t handle.
6. My most excruciatingly embarrassing moment.
7. The story of my first kiss (not skipping all the awkward
details!)
8. The day I started blogging � what was I thinking?
9. The most difficult decision I have ever made.
10. 7 things I learned from being a kid.
11. The last thing that made me cry.
12. My earliest childhood memory.
13. That thing that really gets my goat.
14. The worst Christmas I�ve ever had.
15. What I am addicted to and why.
16. My obituary.
17. A DIY on something I know nothing about.
18. What I�ve learned about life so far.
19. Brain dump: what�s on my mind right now.
20. Something I lost.21. My worst habit.
22. Thank you to a thing that I love.
23. What I want to be when I grow up.
24. Something I found.
25. A review on something I�ve used, watched, eaten, or read lately.
26. An update on my most popular post � where are we now?
27. Set a goal and a plan on how to get there.
28. Top 5 blogs I�m loving right now.
29. I ask advice on something that is troubling me.
30. A menu for my last meal ever.
31. I share a secret I�ve never told anyone until now.
