Blog, more like bluuuuuugggghh
You asked and I answered!!! Ok, like 5 of you asked, and I'm in the process of figuring out how to answer. Start a blog, you say! You're so funny, you say. Although I humbly agree, if I could figure out how to operate said blog, I might have something to say!
Here's the timeline for starting my blog.
Think long & hard about it. Take no action.
Finally actually do some research into blogging (ie learn a foreign language.)
Take laptop to coffee shop. Get overwhelmed by noise and chatter and decide to leave after not being able to figure out how to do anything besides log in.
Drive immediately to McDonald's & order quarter pounder to alleviate creative distress.
Pull into nearby bank parking lot, eat burger and do the frustrated yell usually reserved for my children.
Now that, peeps, is a roadmap to blogging success!!!
If you follow these steps, then a week later, a cat 5 Hurricane could hit (Harvey), you could find out you're pregnant 7 days after that (it's a boy!), forget you ever bought a blog domain (which site did I choose?), then miraculously remember your password when you decide to log on 5 months later! #bigwin
Although I was a member of the National Spanish Honor Society in high school (it's a thing), foreign language expert I am not. Reading about blogging may as well have been in Mandarin. Are you serious, blogging world? Why can't I just log in, type something and hit post? If I've been wondering lately why I even declared Marketing as a major so many years ago, then computer science is definitely out the window. When did I get so technically challenged? Why is this difficult? I can do things! I went to college! I played a reporter in a Lifetime movie! We own a real estate brokerage and I've kept children alive since 2014! (These are accomplishments, people!!) Alas, I can’t figure out how to operate a freaking blog. Has my brain become total mush since having kids? Is this how my parents feel when they’re trying to attach a pdf to an email? Is this what it feels like to be old? OMG, am I OLD?!?!?!?
I usually have my personal IT department (my husband) figure everything out while he holds back the eye rolls when I can't hook up the scanner or reset the cable box, but this blogging adventure is on me. Creative outlet I wanted, & creative, mildly frustrating new adventure I have. So I hope you will enjoy whatever I choose to share - it's strictly to entertain, not to teach you anything, except that our life is nuts, I am somehow compelled to tell you about it, and hope you can be encouraged all the same.
So until I write more than one blog post, you gotta follow me like your regularly scheduled programming - wait a week for the next episode or until I can find the time and energy to blog enough that you can sit down, grab your wine or whatever it is you eat or drink to cope with being a parent, and binge read like you're watching The Crown on Netflix like I'm about to do.
This is my trying to figure out how to start a blog face.
