I FINALLY Finished #BlogLikeCrazy!

Blog Like Crazy is the monthlong challenge to post new content to your blog every day in November. Javacia of See Jane Write introduced us to it years ago.

Every year I say I’m going to do it. Every year I start out strong. Every year I peter out and never finish. UNTIL THIS YEAR! I DID IT!!!! Now, I didn’t do it gracefully and I probably didn’t do it correctly. But I did it. I posted 30 new posts for November. Some days I had to post it the next day so you got a twofer or a threefer (today!) because I missed my deadline or missed a day without knowing it, but I DID IT! WAHOOOO!!! I found the trick; don’t tell anyone you’re doing it. lol. This is the first year I didn’t declare I was doing it – I just did it for myself to see if I could actually do it. And I did. Sort of. lol.

Today I was going back through the posts, making sure I had all 30 (sans yesterday and today’s which I was working on) and realized I missed November 6 somehow. So I just wrote one for November 6th and posted it. Better late than never and we’re still in November so it’s still part of Blog Like Crazy! 🙂 I hope it still counts as part of Blog Like Crazy and I’m still considered a completer.

I hope to do it again next year and put more planning into it to have much better content. I am thankful for my wonderful friends and the wonderful readers who joined me for the ride this month. It was a blast and I hope you stick around to see what else lands here the rest of this year and next!

I’ll be sharing out Javacia’s post on everyone who completed the challenge later because they are always rock stars and have the best blogs! I love reading and sharing the fellow Janes’ content. Happy November and congrats to all who finished this challenge and NaNoWriMo!

WHY IS IT 70 DEGREES AT THE END OF NOVEMBER?

Seriously, does Alabama just walk around going “Here, hold my beer” every year when some city or state sets the record for the warmest temperature at the end of November? It is 72 degrees at the end of November here in beautiful Central Alabama. STOP IT ALREADY!

Where are the frigid temperatures? Where are the snow flurries? When can I pull out my snow boots, mittens, and ear muffs? WHEN CAN I WEAR MY CUTE SNOW JACKET? I HAVE A SNOW SHOVEL FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!

I spent quite a few years in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, when I was younger and I miss those cold winters. I got another taste of that awesomeness when I lived in the Northern Virginia/D.C. area for a few years a while back and I still crave it. I am thankful we do get cold weather here and there, but I’m not going to lie – I want it A LOT more.

I abhor the heat and humidity in Alabama. I hate being hot and it makes me physically ill. I would love to live somewhere cooler, but life keeps me here right now and that’s totally ok. But when I can, ADIOS HOT WEATHER! Please bring on the cold weather soon, Mr. Winter. I’m ready for you, your brothers, sisters, and all your frosty relatives!

No Day But Today

It’s been almost a year. Since I’ve blogged. I kid you not. I last blogged on NEW YEAR’S DAY. JANUARY 1st. On that day I wrote a letter to my future self that will be delivered via email in like 10 years. That should be interesting. I digress….

It’s that time of the year – November. It’s time to #bloglikecrazy, that wonderful time of the year where I, along with a bunch of my blogger friends, all commit to blogging once a day during the month of November while our novelist counterparts commit to writing a novel during NaNoWriMo.

Thank you to my followers who have been with me through the years and welcome to all my new friends. You’re bound to learn some new tidbits about me during the month and it will surely bring us closer. I hope you enjoy your time here and please share your thoughts in the Comments section below each blog post. I would love to hear from you and will be happy to answer any questions I can.

Here we gooooooooooo. We’ll see if I make it.

What’s New for November? Me!

categories: bloglikecrazy, goals

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy out there in blogland! I’m baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaaaack. First off, before I get started on anything else, I have to tell you that La-Di-Da-Di just came on the radio station I am listening to. SCORE! This takes me back to junior high and high school. I may or may not still know all the words. Shhhhhhhhhh!

Alright, back to business. November is #bloglikecrazy month for us See Jane Write gals. And seeing as how I have been sorely lacking in the writing department for months, here goes nothing.

I am grateful for Javacia’s writing prompts for each day if we’re blanking. Today’s topic is our intentions for the month. We all know how well I do with written out goals (cough), but I am hopeful! This month I would like to:

  1. Continue this writing trend
  2. Work harder on making healthier food choices
  3. Start riding Elektra again (my bicycle..I stopped during the hot weather because I would surely pass out)
  4. Spend more quality time with hubster, family, and friends (I’ve been remiss in my trips home to Montgomery)
  5. Begin cleaning out the house so I can have a massive yard sale in the spring and MINIMIZE
  6. Focus on finances and make some major changes for the new year
  7. Slow down socially. I am in desperate need of “me” time. I love my city, all my friends and their celebrations, but I’m just wearing myself down, I can tell. So HEALTH IS NUMBER ONE! My hypothyroidism levels continue to increase (not good), so I need to slow down and focus on all things good and well.

That’s it. That’s me and November. Are you doing #bloglikecrazy? If so, what are you most excited to write about?

See you tomorrow! 🙂

Love yourself.
Find peace inside.
Share happiness.
