Blogging Lessons

In the grand scheme of things I'm new to blogging.  So I don't have the type of lessons that a seasoned blogger has but there are some things I've learned since I began this adventure. 

1.  My grammar is horrendous.  Commas, periods, the whole 9 yards.  So bare with me.  If I don't have my punctuation correct...and I won't.  Or my sentences are fragmented, or words are just straight up spelled the wrong way I apologize.  If spell checker doesn't catch it then don't count on me to come through either. 

2.  Writers block makes me feel like a loser.  There are some days when I could post 15 blogs a day.  Then there will be a week when I couldn't put words down if you payed me money.  The pioneer woman intructs you to write through the block.  I struggle with that.  But I love PW with a passion so I am trying to take her advice.  For example I currently am expieriencing a case of writers block but I'm posting this list.  Awesome. 

3.  I always have awesome things to blog about when I have a list a mile high of housework that needs to be done. 

4.  Knowing that people might possibly read this can give you a very big head.  In fact I recently told Allen that I couldn't do laundry because I needed to blog and  my "readers" might miss me.  I'm lame.
If I'm feeling fat then I remember that I just might have "readers" and I feel skinny.
If I'm feeling blah then I remember that I just might have "readers" and I feel perky! 
If I'm feeling hungry then I remember that I just might have "readers" and I feel....hungry.  Darn!  I wish it worked that way...then maybe I wouldn't feel fat.  O well, one can dream.

5.  This is a lot cheaper then therapy.  I can vent and get out what I need to say and it doesn't hurt my pocketbook. 

6.  I have to remember that this is still the world wide web and I can't put everything out there.  I'm a very open person and there have been many an occasion that I've had to backspace an entire post.  Just because I feel it is very relavent doesn't mean the entire universe would or should. 

7.  I'm always so humbled and grateful when people take time out of thier lives to read about ours.  It touches me in ways I can't express.  So to my "readers"  thank you so much!  I feel skinny, perky and hungry!
