Bad Blogger, Good Person

I feel like I have been the worst at blogging lately. It's not that I'm "over it", believe me I love it. However; I feel like I don't even have a minute to sit and write out a rational thought, much less an entertaining, or uplifting, or at least non-mind mushing blog.

Is it just me?? I read all your blogs and am greatful no one else seems to be lacking in the thinking department- it is my one reprieve. Some read the newspaper, I read the news of the people I love and enjoy.

By the way, I loved conference. I always have, always will. I can't pinpoint a favorite talk- It's just the same for me with scriptures and hymns. (In Relief Society were are supposed to fill out a Q&A about ourselves and mine is filled except for those parts, so I haven't turned it in yet. It's not like I hate hymns or don't read the scriptures. I just can't choose one as "MY FAVORITE" because I feel like its evolving all the time. Some things are more meaningful during certain times of my life than others.) Anyway, back to the original thought I was following.... All the talks had something that was especially for me, and I can't wait to read them next month.

In other news I have gone back to running, and as much as I hate the early morning rising and the cold I love the time I spend with Jessica. I will admit to anyone that I am socially motivated by many things, and running is at the top of the list. Now that we have scaled back to a few days a week and short leisurly runs it has been more enjoyable, less pressure. I'm sure this isn't flowing real well, but I did start out with a disclaimer.

I also canned 67 pints of spaghetti sauce with Jessica this weekend. We started Friday morning and finished about 8pm Saturday night. Unfortunately when I opened a jar for dinner on Sunday it wasn't the glorious experience I had been dreaming of. Don't get me wrong it was ok, but a little disappointing for two days of hard labor... you can't win 'em all.

This week is crazy and as Jeremy kept watching me add stuff to the calendar yesterday he said "Good thing you have the Relief Society Retreat."

Yes, it is a good thing.

Ok. Enough. The End.

You are so dedicated to run early and in the cold! Don't worry though, I'm totally socially motivated to do some things too!

Sorry the sauce wasn't as great as you wanted it to be.

Lee said...

I am socially motivated too. And it is hard to always have "good" blogging. But you do great! I can't believe all the stuff you have canned.. that is great. I still have never done it. One day.

Your blogs are always great to me...I love your voice.

What's up with the retreat? I thought it wasn't happening....

I miss you when I don't hear from you! But I know what you mean. Some days I just sit in front of the computer and think "I got nuthin."
Good for you on the running! Just so it's fun - then you'll keep doing it!

Heather, I always love your blogs. You are fantastic, get it through your head!

As for the retreat?

Nichol is doing it on her own still. 7pm - midnight. She will have an area to scrapbook or play bunco, games, food, karaoke, all the good stuff. There will be organized games the first hour or so, and 'free time' the rest. She did say to bring something to share.

It's so fun to read your thoughts. So keep up the blogging. Making that many quarts of Spaghetti Sauce is Amazing!! Good Job! And anyone that is running in the mornings when it's cold out has my respect! Keep it up!

Heather, I like your blog because I get something different everytime you post, whereas someone who comes to my blog, well, they just get music. You are diverse, and amazing and a great example.

Your canning abilities however, have me completely intimidated!

I love reading your blog. You crack me up and always bring a smile to my day. I love how you don't take life so seriously and can laugh off the small stuff. Too bad about the homemade sauce, that's a lot of work to not really like the end result, but I'm sure it's still delicious.

You are so multi-talented that I'm a little green with envy. I enjoy your blog. But I know what you mean; there are days when I have total writer's block.

I'm so impressed with the variety of things you always do. I didn't know that relief society thing was still on. Oh, well. I can't go anyway because jared and Carson are gone and I have kaiya.

Vern said...

I didn't even start blogging until my kids were enrolled in school all day, so I'm impressed with all you manage to write - as far as I'm concerned you're a ROCK STAR!

Eliza said...

I dont care what you write about on the blog...it is always just fun to know what you are up to...even if it is just a quick "wiping noses today." ;o)
