What do you hope happens by the end of the year?

I hope that I switch my blog over to a self-hosting site. Today, I signed up for the site. Now I just have to transfer two years worth of posts. It sounds overwhelming, right?!

I also hope to get to 50,000 words with my novel. Nanawrimo is almost over. There is no way I will make the deadline but I still want to finish. My word count today was 9200. It is further than I thought I would get, especially after spending most of the month not being able to sit at the computer for an hour.

It would also be nice if I could pick stuff off of the floor again. It has been like Hansel and Gretel at my house. My boyfriend can find me by the trail of stuff that I can’t pick up.

If we were having coffee, i would tell you . . .

There were many cups of coffee left unfinished. It is a new world with a different diet that is not coffee-friendly.

There was laundry.

There was time spent putting together outfits for imaginary outings. In reality, i just started to wear pants again this week.

There was some singing in the car. 4 Part harmony yo. Not really but there were 4 people singing to the same song. The best time ever.

There were more movies. Top three: The Monument Men, Wild and Guardians of the Galaxy.

There was a conversation about Darth Vader with my youngest. It took several minutes to clarify that his name is not Dark Fader and the movie is not called “Star Lord.” I feel a “Star Wars” marathon coming on soon.

Allison from Accidentallyallison nominated me for a Liebster Award. Thanks Allison! Since I have an abundance of time until next week, I’m going to play along with the rules. Sort of.

• What makes your blog different?

I’m hilarious. No, that’s not it. Life experience? Photography? Interviews? It’s hard to say.

• How often do you post?

Well, I post something just about every day. I used to post 4 posts a day but that was exhausting. So now I do 1-2 a day.

• What’s your favorite quote?

• What’s your favorite blog to read?

There are so many good blogs. However, Rarasaur’s blog is really special like sparkly fairies and glitter and dinosaurs.

• How would you describe your blogs message?

You mean my tagline? The tagline is really funny.

I’ll be outside of the mosh pit . . . waiting with bandaids and kleenex . . . I can also work magic with an ace bandage. Just sayin’ . . .

The message of my blog in general is mostly about keeping a good sense of humor and living life to the fullest -even when you want to hide.

• How is your writing different now than when you first started blogging?

I think my posts are more complete and hopefully more thoughtful than in the beginning. Seriously, my first blog post was about 1-2 sentences.

• Where do you want to retire to?

Retire? I’m probably never going to be able to retire. If I did get to retire, I’m running away with my boyfriend to Jamaica.

• Tell me something not many people know about you?

That’s tough one. I write about everything. I fall asleep watching Lord of the Rings most nights. It’s comforting in a weird way.

• Which one: Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest?

Pinterest. I love Pinterest with my whole heart.

• Have you received any other awards in the world of blogging?

Yes. I redecorated and had to make room for new stuff. I appreciate all of the awards but I feel like I have to keep improving. It probably doesn’t make any sense at all.

• Describe your writing style in one word.

Confessional.
