There are a lot of things I’m good at. And there are a lot of things I’m not so good at. One of them is dates.
Not like GOING on dates. Though I can’t say I’m great at that or anything.
There is a 50% chance I will forget your birthday. Even if it’s listed on Facebook, I will probably miss it. Even my best friends in the world, I balls it up. When my BFF Stowe turned 25, I wished him a happy 23rd birthday. He has never let me live this down. Nor should he! I’m a certified non-genius in this area. It’s not intentional. I’m just bad at this.
Which is how I managed to miss my one year blog-aversary.
IT’S A WORD.
(…it’s not a word…)
I published my first blog post on 10/6/12. It’s been one year. I have 45 posts. Some food successes, and some food failures. A lot of (bad) jokes. A lot of self deprecation. And far too many Downton Abbey themed animated gifs.
What have I learned this year whilst living and blogging?
Sometimes, my blog posts get written on my list of things to do. “Write meatloaf post.” And then, it feels like a burden. Because it’s another thing to get done and crossed off. But it’s not. It’s filling a space that’s been empty since I stopped doing theatre. (Ok, it’s not COMPLETELY filling it. Unless I was singing show tunes while I was cooking. Which I could totally do…)
But it’s kind of an awesome feeling when someone says they laughed at something in my post. I love making people laugh. And I love to cook. It’s the best of both worlds, really.
So. A New Year’s Resolution for a new year of bloggery: blog more.
I’m not going to commit to anything crazy, because my job is still my job (touch wood) and that’s still busy. But I’d like to write at least once a week. So when I get to my second blog-aversary, I have a whole 97 posts. But I’d like to do it even more than that.
…Heh. She said ‘do it.’
You guys are great. Thanks for reading. Go cook and eat things.
And above all, stay fake.
Nothing fake here.
