Merging

by Carol Marks on December 1, 2012

Happy December ya’ll.

I wanted to come on and put in an entry for December 1st. I love December.

Also, this blog is going to merge with my other blog very soon. The other blog being the one I had over at blogspot for awhile now – carolannmarks.com I already had someone switch it over for me and we now have WordPress installed. We’ll work on the design and layout tomorrow. So, hopefully sometime tomorrow evening or early next week, THIS blog will be merged with it and forwarded to carolannmarks.com

I’m excited and nervous at the same time. I have no idea why I am nervous.

Okay, back to the game.

Last Day

by Carol Marks on November 30, 2012

I’m gonna tell you what God loves; that’s the truth! I am so grateful for November 30th, the last day in November and therefore my last “gratitude” blog entry.

Last Day!

Ya’ll, it’s been tough trying to come up with something new that I was grateful for every day and then trying to make it a blog entry. I felt like I cheated most days with just a quickie-less-than-250-word entry with no description or story to go with it.

So this much I’ve learned from gratitude blogging for 30 days – that I much prefer to take my time with something I am writing and put my voice into it, weaving a creative story.

Overall, though, I’ve enjoyed participating in the #bloglikecrazy and the See Jane Write gals. But, it was my idea to do the 30-days of gratitude on my blog because I thought it would be easier for topics. Boy, was I ever wrong. See Jane Write sent out writing prompts with some fantastic ideas and I have saved them for future blogging. You can stay tuned for those blog entries!

But yeah, I’m thankful that it is November 30th and my gratitude blogging is over. I know, that just doesn’t sound right. I want to make it perfectly clear, however, that I loved the idea of #bloglikecrazy and the women associated with this event. I did have fun in that area and enjoyed getting to “meet” some new bloggers and writers. Thank you to the Birmingham Janes for allowing a north Alabama gal to participate with you.

Thanks for reading,

Soy Milk

November 29, 2012

Today I am grateful for Soy Milk. I’ve been having some stomach problems lately and finally had enough of it and went to the doctor. Actually, I went to the doctor about something else but while I was there I brought up the stomach issues. He told me to cut out dairy for two weeks. [...]

Netflix

November 28, 2012

Today I am most grateful for Netflix. I am probably one of the last people on earth who jumped on this bandwagon. I signed up for the service a couple of months ago. I love receiving my little red envelopes in the mail with my movie entertainment. I know I can also watch instantly online [...]

Blogging

November 27, 2012

Today I am grateful for blogs and blogging. I love the instant gratification of writing something and then seeing it “published” on the internet. Yes, I know, this is just my person site/blog but still, I like it that I can write something anytime I want and put it out there. I’m thinking about expanding [...]

Two Posts In One

November 26, 2012

It’s still November and I’m still blogging daily for things for which I am grateful. I didn’t post yesterday because I was on the road most of the day taking The Manchild back to school. So this post is a two-fer. For yesterday, I was grateful for mild traffic and no incidences on the road [...]

Tree Day

November 24, 2012

We put our Christmas tree up today. I wanted to do this while The Manchild was here on his Thanksgiving break and today was the only day we could do it. I have to take him back to school tomorrow. It was fun and The Kids did all the heavy lifting. I also went to [...]

Birmingham Day

November 24, 2012

The Kids and I went to Birmingham yesterday, on black Friday. If you’ve read any of my previous posts you’ll know that I was dreading this because I was scared of getting out in the crazy on Black Friday. And in Birmingham too, where it would be even more crowded crazy because it is a [...]
