Returning

Good Morning Everyone, 

First off, Thank You to all that sent me messages and prayers throughout last week. I really do appreciate every single one of them. I know I didn't get back to emails but honestly the whole week I spent mostly in a fog and when not in the fog trying to be a good wife and mother. I felt very closed down the whole week but I am ready to get back to things. 

I will admit to you that I marked all the blogs I missed as "Read" last night. I will get back to reading today but I just missed so much in the past two weeks and it was overwhelming to the point that I was actively avoiding looking at my Bloglovin' Feed. So I marked them as read and was done with it. I'll do better this week. 

This week I do plan to get up my Planet Comicon post, My Confessions and I have so many things tagged for Friday Favorites that I am probably going to have to only do half of them this week! 

Today however I just wanted to get back into the blogging world and to say thank you to all of you and I leave you with this. I am not sure why but this little penguin was a great source of comfort in those moments between grief and stress...when it all felt like too much. Maybe it will help some of you this Monday Morning. 

Big hugs from here.

Thursday Thoughts: Excuses, December Goals, 30

Good Morning Everyone, 

So apparently I took a week off of blogging without even really thinking about it. I have lots of excuses but the top ranking two are that I have been really busy and also taking a writing break because finishing my 50,000 words for NaNoWriMo was a pretty hard slog and I didn't feel much like writing or being creative. 

Also I've fallen in love with knitting so there is that as well. 

Today I was supposed to link up with Steph on the Choose Your Own Adventure and share my organization adventure. I had planned on working on the garage...that didn't happen. I do plan on working on my closet this afternoon....if I am good maybe I will remember to take pictures and perhaps get a link into the linkup after all....but I wouldn't hold my breath. 

So what was I going to talk about? Oh yes December Goals. 

Here's a list: 

1. The Choose Your Own Adventure goal is to SIMPLIFY. I will be working on this one in a big way, especially because I'm going to have to in order to make room for all of the things Kyra is getting for Christmas....

2. Continue on my weight loss journey. I haven't talked about this much but things are going pretty awesome, I only gained two pounds over the holiday and that is pretty great since I had THREE Thanksgivings to attend...and food is yummy. 

3. EDIT. So much editing to do....

4. Start working on a daily/weekly schedule. Things have been so hectic lately and I think that if I had a set schedule of things to get done day to day it would really help relieve some stress. 

5. Smile, Relax, Enjoy the season. Oh yeah...and turn 30. 

See how I slipped that in there? Yeah I'm turning 30....in twenty days. I'm not upset by the number...no biggie really....I'm more just in shock that somehow I will be out of my 20s.....I'm not really sure I'm an adult yet...

Okay so that is it for me. I know this was a weird sort of mish mash post but I needed to get back in the swing of things. I'll be back tomorrow with Friday Favorites also known as What I Want for Christmas/Birthday!
