As most of you know I love watching YouTube videos. This week for the writers workshop one of the prompts was to list my top 5 YouTube videos of all time. This was harder than you can think because there are so many that I watch all the time but here are the 5 that if they got deleted I would be so sad!!!! (They are in no order)
If you get offend by swearing than this video isn’t for you but it does make me laugh every time I watch it.
As you can see they vary greatly but like I said there are tons more that I love. Here is a post where I listed some of my favorite channels that you should all check out.
I am always so happy when fall time comes around because it means that a few of my favorite things ever are going on. I am going to my Fall’s top ten list.
10-Halloween candy & Foods
9-Apple Pie
8-Kids aren’t out running around til all hours of the night
7-My cats don’t throw up hair balls as often
6-Home made Chili
5-Kids being in school
4-Leaves changing colors
3-Cooler Weather
2-Football
1-Hoodies
Out of that list the first 2 things are my totally the ones that I look forward to the most. Last Saturday I was able to wear a hoodie all day and I so happy because they are my favorite thing in the whole world to wear. I also can’t get enough of football. I watch 2 college teams and 2 pro teams but I will pretty much watch any team play. I also love the cooler weather we have here because I feel so much better when it isn’t super hot and the MS doesn’t act up as much when it is colder here.
When I started blogging I didn’t even realize that there were so many blogs out there. I started blogging simple as something to do and as a way to keep my husbands family up to date on things that were happening with us since his family is all out of state. There are so many things that I now know about blogging that I wish I would have known about when I started blogging years ago.
The biggest tip I could give a new blogger would be to just have fun with blogging. When I started it was more like a chore and it was really hard for me to keep it up. I do go through phases where it seems like it is a chore but when I just have fun with it and blog about things that are on my mind I find that can write posts without having a problem. Right now I feel I am stuck and I haven’t been able to finish a blog post to save my life. I know that once I get into the groove again I will have tons of posts almost ready.
When I have forgot to have fun with blogging I have gone months and months without posting. I know when I have to write blog post for products I receive or a book review I struggle with it because I really don’t enjoy having to write posts on something. I love when I write about whatever I am feeling like and I hate having to write about certain things. Now that being said I still do sponsored posts and book reviews because I love books and can use the money and products from sponsored posts.
I went off on a tangent there but in the end I would just say don’t forget to have to fun with blogging and don’t lose site of why you started blogging! What one tip would you give to someone who is starting out blogging?
This week for the Writers Workshop I am using this generator and writing an I Am poem. I am not good at writing poetry but since this one is easier to do because all I had to do was fill in the blanks I figured I would give it shot.
I am creative & focused
I wonder what babies dream about
I hear a fly flying around
I see leaves blowing in the wind
I want to be happy
I am creative & focused
I pretend that people don’t get me down
I feel my heart beat
I touch soft cat fur
I worry about my job
I cry when I get let down
I am creative & focused
I understand my life so far
I say the truth
I dream about my friends
I try to be happy and positive
I hope for happiness
I am creative & focused
Wow this past year has changed me in so many ways. I can’t even imagine where I would be if my life hadn’t changed that much. I am going to write about the changes over the last year for me and some of the people in my life. All the changes has been so good for me and also for the people that are in my life.
It was this time last year that they let Misti go at work. I still remember the day they let her go like it was yesterday even though I still wish that is was just a bad dream and that I could wake up for it. I don’t know that it will ever be the same here without her being here. It is even harder to wrap my head around the fact that she has had a baby and is now a mother.
Also anyone who has followed my blog from the start will know that my daughters birthday is coming up and that always makes it a tough time of year for me. I am finding that this year is going to be harder than some of the past years have been. It is always hard to gauge how a year will be for me but I think this is going to be hard for me.
Well that was quite the tangent so lets get back to the post. Other than those things I am still pretty much blogging about the same things. I really haven’t changed what I blog about because I have always just blogged about my life and for the most part my life doesn’t change that much.
I remember while I was in school thinking that I was never going to miss being in school. Now that I have been out of school for a few years I realize that I do miss school. I don’t miss tests but I miss learning. I actually miss going to classes and learning new things. It is crazy for me to think that I miss anything about school because I really hated school until I got to college.
High school was rough for me because of bullying and I just wanted to get out of there. Once I started college and Weber State University I came to love learning and going to class. I know it had a lot to do with the fact that I was taking classes that I enjoyed and wasn’t stuck taking tons of classes that didn’t interest me.
I miss learning things. I don’t know what it is about sitting a class room listening to a professor teach that makes me feel like I am learning but it does. I really want to take a class here are there because I do miss learning. I feel like I am wasting away when I am not in school. I am sure that is because I never have finished school so I still feel like I need to finish.
School has always come easy to me and I think that is why I miss learning.
