Reflection in my Weekender

First off, I really apologize for leaving you all high and dry last week with my lack of posts. I'm actually starting to get annoyed by the fact that my work schedule is interrupting my life schedule. 

Not only did I not blog last week, I was also only able to get to barre one time! The combination of the two is absolutely unacceptable. I am a firm believer that we shouldn't be living to work, but working to live. So the fact that I didn't do much living last week had me in a funk. To say that work is crazy would be the understatement of the year and quite honestly I'm just tired of this crap. I need a proper vacation and in the next couple weeks I get to watch all of the girls on my team take their SECOND vacations of the year. Pissed.

Oh my god and I also decided to stop drinking during the week last week. Not sure that was a good idea either. While I was away from you all I had a lot of time to think about what I'm doing in my little corner of the internet. I love this little space and seeing all of your comments and sharing emails back and forth really does add happiness to my life. Lately, I've been completely obsessed with Humpday Confessions and Friday Favorites. Who's not right?!

I think about those two posts the most every week and love reading everyone else's when the day comes. They are also my most popular posts during the week.

With that said, I've been missing the act of actually writing something that has some more emotion or personality to it. I took a stroll down memory lane and looked at some of my older posts and the ones where I really sat down to write and the post just poured right out of me. Like this one about Scott's mom Susie. I got the urge to write a little tribute to her and I sat down with my coffee for maybe 30 minutes and there it was, perfect in every way and exactly how I wanted it. And this post about about being inspired. This was my 9th post as a blogger, before I even knew what I was doing but I found it absolutely mandatory that I put the way I felt that day in writing.   And even my introductory post to blogging felt just like me. This weekend Scott's brother Brent said something to me that really resonated and made me want to continue to do this thing that I love. To write the blog for me and to be true to myself and the person that I am because that is what people like to read. It's elementary, I know, but for some reason I appreciated him telling me that he reads my blog and really enjoys my writing. It reminded me that I need to write more of these posts. To dig deep and memorialize myself and my life and the things that mean something to me. 

Don't get me wrong, you'll still be seeing my confessions and favorites, but I'm really hoping to throw in some of these here and there too.  What do you think? Do you like reading the "deeper" posts?
