Tomorrow is the start to a new month. I love starting new things, it's a time when I can get a fresh start. Erase what I've done in the past and begin anew. I'm going to challenge myself to blog every day this month for no other reason than it can make the creative juices flow when I exercise my writing.
I watch Big Brother and I like how they always give their alliance a name. Dark Moon, The Sixth Sense, The Brigade. I tried to think of a title for my writing challenge and my best idea was 30 for 30 (like the show on ESPN, speaking of which I seriously met a little kid who's name is Espn. smh). But the problem with that is obvious.. there are 31 days in August. So unless I get an epiphany, there's no cool name.
I really like the book Julie and Julia, but a year is a bit much for me. And the cooking is way too much. So I also don't have a theme. I could get on my soap box but I'm not sure I have 31 pet peeves (let's be real, I probably do, but no one wants to hear me complain for a month). Other thing is I definitely don't swear as much as her. I have to admit, today several choice words kept rising to the surface. Like when I got in the turn lane and realized I needed to go straight. Or when I burnt my arm on the oven when I was checking to see if my cupcakes were done. Oh and let's not forget when my daughter kicked me in the face when I was kneeling down in front of the grocery cart to put the bread in a safe place on the bottom. Good times.
I also don't always have pearls of wisdom to impart to my faithful followers. The past 10 days have been a little tough and I'd like to go on vacation where I don't have to communicate with anyone or be nice or respond on my phone. Paul can come, but only cause he's seen me at my worst and loves me anyway. I'd like to tell certain people what I really think when they text my husband with dumb requests. Thankfully they don't have to deal with me, they get Paul- the man who is tactful and kind in almost every situation. Kinda like Mary Poppins-practically perfect in every way😉
Thank God for him. I like that scripture that says "love covers a multitude of sin." I feel like his love for me covers me with grace to help me get through trying times or when I'm being..well me. So enjoy this next month-we'll see what pops through my brain and ends up in ink.
