This week’s stream of consciousness prompt from All.Things.Fadra is “How did you spend your Sunday mornings growing up? What are some of your favorite memories?” This is what I came up with.
All week I’ve been thinking about writing this post about how I have been out of the loop re-building all my sites, but now I’m back to the land of the living. I kept thinking that I was stuck in a worm hole, but then I was thinking, no, I’m stuck in a black hole. Who knows, who cares. Well, actually my husband knows and cares and he just tried to explain them to me. I asked, so I really just set myself up for hearing a lot that I don’t really care about. Too many words, honey. Too many words.
Speaking of words, I haven’t really written any since January 13th. I’ve written down some ideas, but that’s about it. I feel rusty, ya’lls! And I’m so disappointed in myself for not yet bestowing the Versatile Blogger award onto some very worthy bloggers. Plus I have a lot of ideas! I really need to step my writing up.
I got busy. I wanted a new blog look (do you like it? I love it!). I needed to re-vamp my business blog, my portfolio, and my website. They are still not all done, but they are getting there and I learned the in’s and out’s of customizing the Twenty Eleven theme for WordPress. I also learned about the best plugins for WordPress, and how to customize them. Yes, you can customize plugins!
This is what happens when I get busy with my own projects. I get lost in them. I have had the hardest time designing my own sites, and I get lost in a deep deep dark dark whole.
Wow, that was a lot of rambling. Maybe I’m not quite as out of that deep deep dark dark hole. Yet.
In other news, I’m getting my derby skates today!!! So psyched. Also, I have a baby jumping on me and people talking to me. Maybe I should have written this in the bathroom.
Last but not least, I was able to use the word AWESOMESAUCE several times in the last couple of weeks. Guess what that makes me! AWESOMEBALLZ!!! (That was for you, Kristen Daukas (insert fist pump here!)
This is what I like to do on Sunday mornings. Drink coffee, read blogs, and write.
I do love the look of your site, sometimes a black hole brings out good things on the other side:-).
So cool you’re gonna do derby! I used to speed skate when I was young and thought about doing derby several years back, but with 40 approaching now I’ll pass. It never seemed to fit into my schedule, they practiced twice a week here and then a game. I look forward to reading your posts about it! Should be a blast!!

Yes, black holes are not always bad! I checked out your blog this morning and added you to my reader! Can’t wait to read about your traveling adventures this summer!
I’m not sure I have any clue how your Sundays were as a child but I totally felt your braindump. I’m usually running in a million directions and if I don’t list, star, flag things, I will forget and then spend my time digging myself out.
I think a wormhole is better. You enter and at warp speed shoot out into an entirely new place far far away.
I know, none of that followed the prompt or made sense! To be honest with you, I don’t remember what Sundays were like when I was growing up! Run of the mill, I think. We never went to church or anything.
I totally understand when you say about Sunday mornings. They are days filled with blogging, coffee (or tea in my case), and lots of reading (whether it be blogs or a book!).
Yes! I love to just be relaxed. It’s not always the case, though!
I’m glad you hadn’t written anything since then. Somehow your blog got left out when I loaded up my google reader, so I would have missed it! Yes, I’m so techy … NOT AT ALL!
Your redesign looks great. Love the tabs at the top. We may need to talk later per our other exchange about my simpleton blog.
I saw your post about your reader MJ. Too funny. I’m glad you are getting it all straightened out!
I’m always happy to help a friend so hit me up if you would like some!
Love the site – am very new to the All.Things.Fadra Stream of Consciousness thing – so I’m getting to see a lot of new blogs today. Very cool, and I’m looking forward to seeing more from you. I like your style!
I love the new look! Well done.
Thanks Jane! Rock on!
Laine,
This was a great stream of consciousness post. Loved the too many words honey, too many words. Made me smile. I’m married to a science guy and I zone out when he tries to help me understand. Good luck with the derby. Will you have to wear any crazy outfits? Have fun, that’s the most important thing.
Dana
Thank you Dana! And I’m so glad you stopped by. I’m enjoying your blog! I’m loving “I’m a Cool Mom” and “A Colour Revolution: Shedding the Black.” I wear mostly black so I can totally relate! I can’t wait to read more!
And yes, I think I do get to wear a crazy outfit if I want! I’m already planning it out!
