I'm still a horrible blogger...

A while back, I wrote a little post about why I am a horrible blogger. And you'd think, after calling myself out, in public, I'd have decided to improve. But alas, I logged into the blog tonight and realized, I haven't posted in nearly a full week. And it's been even longer since I posted a recipe, tutorial, or anything beyond my non-sensical rambling.

In my last post, I said....

I'm not quite certain their are pre-requisites to being a successful blogger. Your success varies greatly by your goals. Some bloggers use their blog as an online journal, not even caring how many followers they have. On the other end of the spectrum, there are others who blog for a living, and do well at it!

And now, here are my responses to my previous reasons, and a few more I've decided to add, just for good measure, in case you doubted me the first time.

I am inconsistent. My life does not allow me the opportunity to post consistently. I post when I can, about what I want. Readers want new content. Quality content. And on a regular basis.
Ok, I've already called myself out on this one. I have so many wonderful ideas, but like the horrible blogger I am, never take the time to execute them. Oh the recipes I'd love to share with ya'all! Ok, I did post some good helpful Etsy tips here and here...

I do not like myself enough. I hate having my picture taken. I am not saying all bloggers are vain. Their self portraits and what I wore outfits are adorable. I'd love to have that kind of confidence to plaster myself all over my blog. But I don't. Therefore, you will see very few photos of me on here. And you will never get a VLOG from me. Never!
All still 100% true, although, I did branch out and try a "What I Wore" post awhile back. Epic Fail. Don't believe me... check it out, I DARE YOU!


I am not trendy. My fashion sense is, hmmmmm, lacking? I definitely cannot do skinny jeans, and I don't keep up with what is in style. I don't have cable tv or satelite so I cannot blog about reality tv shows or breaking news. I haven't read 50 Shades of Grey, and do not intend to. Yeah, I'm just kind of boring like that.
I am still totally oblivious to the majority of pop culture. I still refuse to read 50 Shades of Grey, and to top it off, have yet to read or see "The Hunger Games." Wanna know something even crazier, I don't even have poor people TV access.. no local channels even! #darkages

I have really been working on that one photo per post still. But finding just the right one was a toughie....

Enjoy!




P.S. Bonus Reason (is still in effect)... I do not have InstaGram...because.. drumroll.. I do not have a smart phone! #yikes

If You Really Knew Me...

Got the idea for this post from Mama Laughlin. Thanks for the content today!

If you really knew me...

...you'd know I'm NOT a cat fan.
...you'd know I can quote a wide spectrum of movies and often do.
...you'd know I have 2 tattoos. 1 of which I whole heartedly regret.
...you'd know I have never read 50 Shades of Grey (or it's sequels)and don't care to.
...you'd know I don't watch much TV but am so excited that the newest season of Parks & Rec is on Netflix now
...you'd know I'm a sucker for a good microbrew.
...you'd know I am so ridiculously excited for Halo 4 to come out. (It's a video game...) Channeling my inner 12 year old...
...you'd know I love the ocean and would live at the coast if I could.
...you'd know I don't fix my hair nearly often enough.
...you'd know I've never had a pedicure.
...you'd know I hate people touching me. I feel comfy in my bubble, thank you.
...you'd know my daughter means the world to me.
...you'd know I recently picked rice out of my cleavage after a lunch at a japanese restaurant. Thanks to my 2 year old, of course.
...you'd know I never did finish college, and probably never will.
...you'd know Johnny Cash is just as likely to be playing in my car as Pantera, Taylor Swift, Jack Johnson, or anything else. No rhyme to my reason.
...you'd know I spend far too much time checking my Etsy Shop stats.
...you'd know I talk far too much about my Etsy shop in real life.
...you'd know I really need to get my eyebrows waxed.
