Michelle the Everyday Critic: August 2012

For those who are faithful readers, may have noticed I haven’t been around much. Well, there’s a reason…I’ve been tongue tied. My last entry was May 23^rd which is about 2 weeks before my life was changed this summer. For those who don’t already know, Michael and I had his sister and her family move in with us on June 4^th. (Two Adults, two kids (with another born in July), 3 Dogs and 2 Cats) They were moving up from Florida and need a transitional home for their move. They are still with us.

Now I say tongue tied because I blog about my life. And to much of Michael’s irritation, it’s usually about him and/or us. Well, with a new family living in very small and cramped quarters with me can easily led to many blog topics. But they didn’t choose to marry me. So I kinda feel blocked about the coming and goings about my life; hence the lack of blogs.

Top the tongue tie with my new goodreads.com addiction, where I write reviews of all the books I read, I’ve been getting my writing fix on there. (Seriously if you’re a reader, join it. Love meeting other readers, getting book recommendations and I’ve even won two free books in their giveaways. Go on, join!)

But these are excuses too. There’s plenty in my life that’s happening that I could blog about but I’ve just taken to silence. I apologize. Starting now, I’m gonna set a goal of writing at least one blog every two weeks. I’m setting the bar low because I don’t want to break yet another goal this year. (Seriously, my year end wrap up when I see how many goals I completed the past year is gonna be fugly.)

Here’s a quick look at what I’ve been up too since I stopped blogging:

Went Camping with Friends…
