Failure

Yes, I feel like a failure. I still haven’t met most of my goals. I’ve taken like two pictures of Neil and I since my goal to take more pictures, I haven’t finished a book in over two weeks, I’ve only scrapbooked one page in like a month, and I haven’t been blogging regularly. When I decided to start a blog, I wanted to post every day or at least every other day. I wanted to keep my blog interesting and hopefully funny. When the blogging sensation began, I didn’t start one right away because I didn’t think I had anything to blog about and I wasn’t sure if I could update it regularly. But after some encouragement from Alyssa (who is a fabulous blogger), I went for it. She always told me back in college that I should have a blog. For some reason interesting, weird and dramatic things happened during those years. Now, I look back and that is precisely when I should have started. Because now you are not going to hear about midnight runs to Krispy Kreme just for the hats, my adventures in the good old Harold B. Lee library (oh how I miss that library), psycho roommate stories (Alyssa you are not one of them but now when I think about our first year, you could probably share some pretty psycho roommate stories about me!), stories about hamsters and the cafeteria food, stealing food from the cafeteria (Operation Fire and Brimstone), boys, hot chocolate runs in less than 7 minutes, and the list goes on. Now, my subject material consists of working all day, trying not to bug Neil while he studies, and preparing lessons for emergency preparedness (yep. We teach emergency preparedness in our ward. I never thought I would be so passionate about food storage and emergency preparedness in my early 20’s), and reading. There is no drama in my life. Don’t get me wrong, I have no complaints about the level of excitement in my life but I certainly don’t find it noteworthy to blog about how we are cleaning out our garage this weekend. I am excited about it. It needs to be cleaned. But do you really want to read about it? Probably not.

I consider at times quitting. Why have a blog if I don’t have anything to say. But I know the instant that I pull the plug, something amazing and/or extremely comical is going to happen and I will have no one to share it with. In the mean time, if any of you faithful readers (all two of you) have suggestions on what I could blog about, I would love them.
