What Im doing when Im not blogging
What Im doing when Im not blogging
If you havent noticed, Ive been kind of quiet on the ol blog recently. So, if youre still here, thanks for sticking around!
I wish I could tell you that I was off sky diving or exploring remote caves in South America or something while I wasnt blogging. I even wish that I could tell you that I was just too busy cooking, cleaning, and taking care of my family to have time to blog. At least that would be a good excuse.
You want to know what I was really doing, though, while not blogging? Watching soap operas. And drinking Salted Caramel Mochas. But mostly watching soap operas.
When I was a kid and got to stay home sick from school, I used to dread daytime TV between 12:00 and 3:00 p.m. because there was nothing on but soap operas. Now, I wish I could reclaim all those years that I was missing out. In fact, Ive decided that one of the greatest things about being a stay-at-home mom is that the best soap opera (Im talking about none other than General Hospital) happens to coincide with nap time. Seriously, smart move, ABC.
Its not that the acting is particularly wonderful or that the story lines are even remotely believable, but I think thats what makes them so great. I also think that the people who write these things have to be geniuses because I hadnt watched a soap opera in nearly two years, but as soon as I started again, I knew exactly what was going on. It was like I hadnt missed any episodes at all.
Ive also decided that my blog would be WAY more interesting if my life were a soap opera. I could write things like, "OMG, guys! I totally found out today from my third cousins telepathic dog that my neighbors baby isnt her husbands. In fact, her husband isnt even her husband! Hes a serial murderer who had plastic surgery to look like her husband and then took his place. And, to top it all off, hes my brother who I never knew existed! But I cant tell anyone! I dont want him to go to prison; hes family after all!" Soap-opera Me apparently uses an excessive number of exclamation marks...
Alas, all I have to tell you about is my utter failure as a youtube user. You see, I have this super cute video I was going to share with you, but I cant for the life of me upload it.
The first time I tried to upload it, I fell asleep, and the computer battery died. The second time I tried to upload it, I got bored half way through and decided to check my personal email (which is also a gmail account), but by signing into that email, I signed out of the youtube account where I was uploading the video and didnt realize it until several hours later when I went to post the video and it had been stopped in the middle. Then, I uploaded the video for a third time. Success! Except that I hadnt signed out of my personal google account, which meant Id uploaded the video to the wrong account.
Fourth time will be the charm. Soon. I promise.
P.S. For all those who asked about my little robot...its a Mint floor cleaner. Mines the basic model, but I love him all the same. He sweeps and mops, but doesnt vaccuum (which is ok by me since I have no carpeted rooms in my house). But I would recommend this guy as an addition to your Christmas list if you hate mopping as much as I do. And, Im in no way affiliated with the company, other than that I own one of their products, which I purchased myself.
