Hey. I'm just sitting here, watching The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, snarfing apple slices with peanut butter and nutella. I seriously don't understand how anyone - ANYONE - could not like peanut butter. This stuff is delicious. I mean, if you don't like it you're certainly entitled to your own opinion and taste...but you're missing out. I eat it by the spoonful. Just saying. Also, the Lizzie Bennet Diaries are insanely awesome!

Anyway...
Lately, I have been in a blogging rut. A HUGE blogging rut. The kind of ruts you see in dirt roads during spring in North Idaho. Deep. Muddy. All of my posts lately have been a bunch of randomness thrown together with a title slapped on. I simply cannot think of anything to say. The fact that January always has been and always will be a boring month, does not help. No offence if your birthday is in January, btw. But, it is a boring month. Christmas and New Years have come and gone and what's left after that? The flu season. I'm not sick, by the way, nor do I intend to be, Lord willing.
Back to me having nothing to say...
I actually have a lot to say. My mind is full of wonderful thoughts and plans...but I can't share them here. They're not the "sharing on the internet for the entire world to read (not to mention real life friends)" kind of thoughts. And since they are the kind of thoughts that take up all of your time and energy, there hasn't been any room to think of brilliant blog posts. So, there you have it! My {somewhat} silent blog is explained.
:smile:
Today was a good day. The weather was gorgeous, although very, very cold. Which meant I didn't really want to be outside. I narrowly escaped a cabin fever collapse of epic proportions by discovering and watching The Lizzie Bennet Diaries (LBD from now on). Which is not all I did today. Goodness, no.
I got up and ventured into the arctic world to feed the animals at around 8:30 this morning.
After that, I read my Bible, made coffee cake, consumed 1/4 of said coffee cake, deep conditioned my hair (using a honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar concoction which has to stay on for an hour), did laundry, watched some LBD episodes, did more laundry, washed my hair, sang in the shower (Think of meeeeeee! Think of me fooooondlyyyy! When we've said goooood-bye!), checked on the laundry, watched a few more LBD episodes, cleaned the outside of the kitchen cabinets with Pledge (that has been on my list for a looooong time. finally did it!), ate the rest of the coffee cake (what was left after my bro found it, that is), ate lunch, wrote a letter to my new pen pal (hey, Kelsey!:), started a letter to one of my church friends (Amanda), watched more LBD, worked on packaging an Etsy order, did laundry, played my mandolin, ate dinner (it was my bro's dinner night:), called my Aunt Liz (no answer so I left a message), finished a book I've been reading, ventured back into the cold to feed the animals again, came back inside, checked to see if my toes were still there, blew my nose...twice, changed in to my flannel pajama pants (with sheepies on them, of course;), watched more LBD, and ate apples slices with peanut butter and nutella.
Life ain't bad at all.
Happy Trails everyone!
