Rant. I’m so sick of seeing these perfectly made up, hair did in every right way, skinny minnie bloggers driving their Acura’s showing pictures of their giant houses, perfectly decorated with every trendy décor item in the world, oh and with their perfect families of young impeccably dressed children, and these children probably never poop on their living room ottoman, and these children probably always eat their perfect organic lunches and then perfectly recite the alphabet in Chinese. They frustrate me. Yes partly of course because I’m jealous that they are perfect. I’m over here chubby, just hit 30 and don’t’ have the perfect little family I thought I would, I’m frustrated by my work and my kid pooped on the ottoman. I’ve gotten great advice from people who have suffered loss to try to create something from their grief. I’ve wondered a lot recently about that creation being a blog. But then I see all these perfect women who have something interesting to share, like their darling tiny body in fashionable clothes, or their great ideas for crafts and home improvements, or their fabulous recipes, and I’m not sure that I have anything that interesting to share. I don’t even know if I want to post this, I don’t want to sound like a crazy angry person or sound like I desperately need people to care about my rants and thoughts but I just wanted to put something out there and this is what it is.
I wonder about a blog with all kinds of awesomeness, like good and easy recipes, service projects and ways to get connected to service opportunities in your area, hair 101as in how do I curl my hair for reals, workout ideas that normal people can accomplish, inspirational quotes and thought and funny pictures and lots of talk about diet coke, and I like clothes too. I am no expert on any or all of these things, that's what other cool experts would be for. I'd love to have a blog where many people share different tidbits of awesome. So what do people think of this?
Read my blog sometime....I'm FAR from perfect! I know what your saying though. Take care.
ReplyDeleteDO IT!!! I love reading this blog and I think a mix of everything sounds awesome! Audrey, people gravitate toward you because you are interesting, funny, cool, in-the-know, approachable, you level with people, REAL, and have such a great perspective on things and life.
ReplyDeleteI'd love it!!! I agree with you on just about every point ... except Diet Coke. I don't really like soda. (I'm weird). We need a REAL LIFE blog(ger)! I'm with you in the whole "how and when will my family expand" aspect as well. Wish I would have created a blog/journal to capture my thoughts. They still wander around in my head for days/weeks/months until I have a meltdown and my husband doesn't know what to do with me b/c I'm not sure who to talk to b/c everybody is "perfect." Anyways, I guess what I am trying to say is ... please write! It would help you and I think it could help me as well. :)
ReplyDeleteI feel you lady! All around, I'd love to hear people's stories too, people like you, I think it would be so great to have a common place to share.
