1) I’m bored of this blog. I’ve been writing here for nearly six years and I’m just feeling done with it. Not that I don’t still get a weird kick out of posting my word vomit on the internet, and not that I don’t have some great stories I want to share, because I do. (You know you want to hear about the time Amelia became a veritable geyser of blueberry yogurt. You know you do.) I’m just not sure this is the venue for it anymore. Weekly pictures of my kid aside, I don’t feel nearly as compelled to update things anymore, and I really only do that because I know there are aunties and uncles and grandparents who eagerly anticipate Mila Mondays.
I’m thinking of going in a new direction, blogging-wise, and I’ve been working on some concrete ideas to make it fun for me again. Problem is I’m not sure whether to make them a continuation of this site or start fresh with an entirely new one. Do I shut down “nothing can come of nothing?” Do I keep it up and only do Mila Mondays here while posting other stuffs elsewhere? If you have any input, please share.
2) Kayla over at Freckles in April is doing a 10-Day Challenge starting next week. It’s in the same vein as the 30 for 30 I did in November, in that it makes you think about and be a little more creative with your clothing choices, but it’s more official and lots of people will be participating. I’m joining in, mostly because I liked the other challenge and because I need a reason to blog (see #1 above). So there will be posts next week and the week after, at the very least. That will be a pleasant change from the void this blog has been for the last month or so.
3) David and I will be having a Fancy February this year. (I don’t know what it is about February, but it always seems to inspire us to create a theme and run with it. Last year we watched a bunch of post-apocalyptic movies. It was awesome.) We want to incorporate fancier clothes, fancier foods, and fancier words into our lives for a month. Also we’d like to have a fancy dinner party at the end of it. Think hats and monocles and ridiculous dresses and the like. Mostly it will be obnoxious and pretentious, but also I think it will be really silly and fun. I’ll keep you updated in one way or another as details unfold.
4) Because this is kind of a lame post, here’s an awesome picture of Mila to brighten your day.
