I am a horrible blogger

There I said, and it's true. I have no rebuttal.

I have still been biking to work. Believe it or not, I have been tracking it too. The thing is I realized that since it has became part of my "daily" routine (at least when the weather and work cooperate!), there isn't a whole lot to report. It's the same distance every day. More or less, I am going to same speed. And, since it is more of a routine, the ride has become less interesting.

In fact, there hasn't really been much of a reason to report on my rides. The only thing I could have wrote about--that, mind you, I still feel horrible about--is that I caused a little girl to fall off her bike. And, cry. This is hardly something I would consider a "key stat".

So, as stated above -- I am a horrible blogger. I'm not promising I am going to get any better, but I am say that when I do write I am going to try to make it count. pm and I have been doing some "new homeowner" things around the house as of late -- painting, organizing, hanging artwork and changing around furniture. I am hoping that in the next month or so we will have at least one of these project complete. I can share it at point.

I am also embarking on an exciting project with my bff/cousin/soul sister. There will be something to report out on this very soon. We're hoping it will be a big splash (and by splash, I mean lots of fun & tons of laughs for all). More to come.

Although, it won't be tomorrow. Or next week. :)

Inspiration

As #30daysofcreativity quickly approaches, and our plan is to participate again this year, I find myself reflecting on what we can do throughout the course of the next 30 days.

I recently at my blog stats -- I was on a roll in 2010, blogging almost every other day. This year, well, I am ashamed by my stats. I've been lucky to fit in 2 posts a month. This has left me a) embarrassed and b) puzzled. What was going on in my life in 201o that allowed for me to have more energy/ideas/ambition to keep up with regular posting? And, more importantly, how can I get back into the grove?

This is not something that I do just to do. I don't do it to see the number of followers & readers increase (albeit nice). No, I do it because I want to share what's going on in my creative mind. I do it for nothing else -- to document things. This has proved to be quite handy when I've needed a recipe on the fly when away from my cook books (cue: one bowl choco cake, sugar cookies, tomato soup, coconut macaroons & seafood gnocci.)

A side step. My last post I talked about opening up the voting for the color I will be painting our kitchen/dining room. My end goal: to have a color that inspires cooking, warmth & good times. I am aiming for a "Tuscan-yellow" (to which my Mediterranean husband does not understand :)).

Voting is open (choose your favorite name) by way of comment:

1. dreamy caramel
2. toasted pecan
3. brushed almond

Tomorrow I will get geared up to do this again more frequently.

Tomorrow....
