I have been blessed with many things, the English language and everything that goes along with it was not one of them. That makes me dread blogging because unfortunately writing the English language is only way to do it. Having said that I am going to start blogging again. I had a breakthrough last night while watching a movie.
It was not a movie I intended to watch actually. The story is kind of funny and the mistake kind of expensive. Zack, I think, was playing with the remote and pushing all kinds of buttons, and whether he knew what he was doing is still unknown but while he was pushing all the buttons he ordered 4 “movie on demand” movies. Since we had never watched them, I thought we could reverse the charges but Dish has a policy of never reversing the charges because “it asks twice if you really want to rent the movie”. So at $4.99 each we were stuck with an extra $20 fee. Jason and I thought we would make the best of it so we decided to watch one of the two that were still available. The movie ended up being Julie and Julia.
I liked the movie but it was more than that, it hit a cord with me. I am that 30 year old that feels like something is missing. I want to do something that is hard for me and I decided writing is just that. I want to do a whole bunch of other things but I will start with writing.
I have a few rules
#1 The title has to be short ( I over think it ever time) it will be the first thing that comes to mind
#2 I am writing for myself, I will not worry about what others are thinking
#3 I need to write a post at least once a week--the hardest rule of them all.
#4 I have to do it at least 20 weeks

Yea! I like this challenge. I was going to give up on you...:)
I like this challenge too. I read other blogs and always think how talented all my friends are to put their words so nicely. That isn't a gift of mine. Maybe I should join you in your challenge.
I'm so glad to see all of these updates. I'm glad to see that you guys are doing good.
I like what you're doing and I loved that movie. I saw your comment on FB and just sat down and have been looking at your blog. I feel I am a horrible writer and struggle with that too. I found a website that makes your blog into a book, blurb.com. I have done one each year for the past few years and call them our "family yearbooks". You should check it our. Fun to see what you've been up too. Cute kiddos!
