What you need to be a good blogger :)

I had full plans to do a post today on some things that made me happy.  Mind you, I have been absent lately - dealing with a family issue up north and unfortunately being in Northern MI when the storm came and cancelled all the flights.  Grrrr!  My little interuption in my own world, made me appreciate my own little world.  While dealing with the challenges of being a solo parent to the twins (who now know that they out number me!) and running a household by myself....I am very grateful that I live in the land of sunshine and do not have to deal with snow storms, icey roads and oh yeh - car doors that are frozen shut.  Let's just say it was good to get back to FL.

On to the subject at hand.  I read blogs....as many as I have time to view.  Some I really enjoy, some I think are a bit too personal or do not focus on their own DIY projects, etc.  There are thousands out there and they seem to cover everything.  I have decided that I like the blogs that really show all the DIY progress that the creative blogsters out there manage to accomplish with small budgets, but huge creativity.  The one thing I have noticed is that ALL of these blogs are written by women, who have husbands that do a large majority of the work, have all  power tools and in other words - work as a team.  While not impossible, it's hard to do some things by myself.  Even small things like moving a piece of furniture.  So I do what I can, call on a friend (preferably a strong friend) when I need to move furniture and hire out what I can't do by myself.  Unfortunately this limits me - as my budget is small while my visions are big.

OK.....so my plans to show you some little things that make me happy tonight seem to be in the "it's not happening column" because, get this - I can't find my cord to my camera.  how lame is that?  the funny part of the story is that while I don't have a husband to help, I also don't have anyone I can blame for misplacing the cord.:)

So there you have it.  No photos, no story.....only sheer determination to find wherever the hell it is that I put the damn camera cord.  I'm also on a mission to get a room reveal done by this weekend.  I'm close, so close I can see the post.  so hang on.....I promise to find my cord, shoot the progress and yes, actually post it.

so what I have concluded REALLY does help one become a good blogger is a) having a husband/partner who shares the load b) having time to do all the work to accomplish the changes c) more technical skills than I presently have (but I am working on it!) and d) be able to locate your camera cord!
