Today in my university reading class I was told that we were going to have to make a blog. I immediately thought NO!! This isn't happening!!! I'm a horrible writer and awful at spelling so how am I suppose to blog? It is so bad that even a 3rd grader from my after school program corrected my spelling. How embarrassing is that! Fear is not something that I let consume me, but when it comes to writing or test taking, I definitely have a phobia.
After many minutes of contemplation and nerves, I came to my senses and realized there is no way of getting out of it. It is just another step in my education process that I have no choice but to complete. I began the thought process about what I might blog about? Nothing exciting in my life ever seems to happen, and I pretty much keep the same daily schedule. (Yes, I am a creature of habit.) Each morning, I wake up and start my daily routine, which includes eating breakfast, going to school, then work, and finally home for dinner, homework, workout, and bed. Next day, I repeat that all over again. Lately though, I have been thinking that there should be more to life than simply daily routines. We should be excited about life and seeking new adventures, as we only get one shot.

Believe it or not, I have always wanted to keep a journal where I write down things that happen in my life or be a blogger, but in all honesty, that desire only lasted the first day, and I was quickly over it. I am one of those who reads everyone else’s blogs and think dang that’s good, wish I could write like that. So wish me luck as I take this semester on and blog. Hey, who knows, maybe I won't be that bad and let’s hope I become a better writer/speller through this :)

    Hi Alexis. I am so glad you are giving it a try and reading others' blogs will give you tons of ideas for your own writing. Be sure to paste your permalink on Tuesdays or the SOL bloggers will not see it.

Man's best friend

                  So they say a dog is a man’s best friend, and I couldn’t agree more.   This past week I was reminded of just how important my two dogs are to me and my family. My blue heeler, Piper, and her mischievous sidekick, Daisy, our yorkie, decided to escape the comfort of their backyard. Little did they know what havoc this little adventure would cause. Our family went into overdrive; posting on Facebook, hanging and handing out flyers, and searching for our two fur babies.                   After two days, when our morale was low, mom received a call that Piper had been found, but was injured. She had been hit by a vehicle and suffered a broken back leg. I can’t begin to tell you the emotion involved in receiving that call and picking up one of our doggies. We not only had one of our family members back home, but we knew the area in which to look for the other one. Our search widened over the coming days, but to no avail, until we received that dreadful phone call last Fr

Is it Christmas yet?

Brrr!! It is finally cold! Let’s hope it lasts. Every year with the onset of cold weather, I become extremely excited and ready for my favorite time of year, Christmas. I am one who would already have my house fully decorated for Christmas in October, if people would not think I was weird. When I decorate my house for the holiday season, it looks like a Christmas shop exploded because everywhere you look has a decoration of some kind. I hold out hope that one day people will not judge me and I can put my tree and other festive items up early. I just love this joyful time of year filled with Christmas music, lights, and of course, presents. Remember, I told you I love to shop, and the holiday season gives me another excuse to do so. This past weekend, I had no plans and very little homework so I spent the whole time curled up in a blanket on the couch watching Christmas movies. It did not matter that I had already seen them all. Good movies never get old, but it is
