I don't know what to write about.
I think I'm supposed to blog once a week since I am a member of BlogHer. I think. That's why I am writing this post.
My life is all-consumed with something right now, but it is not blog-approved. Therefore, I have nothing I can write about right now. Hopefully soon.
I can write about surface-level pleasantries. Like the weather. We have gotten about eight inches of snow since last night. I live in southern Utah. But I have been watching the news, and northern Utah has had up to 102 mph wind gusts, with 50,000 people without power and lots of trees, fences, etc toppled over. We only have about 10 mph winds here, which is completely normal for us. I'm thankful I don't have to go anywhere today, because I hate driving in first-of-the-year snow, when people have forgotten how to drive in the snow.
We put up our Christmas tree on Thanksgiving day. We don't usually do it that early, but we did this year. We purchased a $10 permit, and Christian and the boys went up the canyon to chop down a tree. It's beautiful, it smells nice, and last night I spent over an hour wrapping presents and putting them under the tree. I love Christmas time.
So much I want to say. Can't say any of it. I hate surface-level pleasantries. Sorry for the boring blog post. Hopefully soon.

Surprisingly, it's a really pretty day today, even with the winds. I almost got killed by a giant sign that fell off a marquis, however.
My brother's back porch (an indoor one) got smashed in by a giant tree. Scary! I'll bet all the church lessons in Utah will be "preparedness" related for the next few months. Ha!
I've got nothing much to blog about right now either (well, you DO have something...but you know what I mean). I feel incredibly boring - and bored. Thanks for at least writing something, so I could have something to do on the computer for 2 minutes! Facebook it being boring right now too! So, I appreciate it. I wish more of my friends were good at regular blog updates. I find myself longing to read about my pals' lives, to no avail.
I really hope you are doing well. I know how hard it is when you can't write about something big going on in your life. It makes it hard to write anything. Hugs!
I heard y'all got several inches of snow and I have to say that I don't miss it one bit! Glad you didn't get those nasty winds that northern Utah got. I hope all is well!
I can't believe you only got 8 inches! We have 3 foot drifts in our back yard!!
You are a brave woman putting wrapped gifts under the tree with Kaitlyn. And now I'm miffed because I wanted a real tree this year but didn't know the permits were only $10!
I'm glad you're fine. But I will admit to being completely curious as to what has been consuming your life and I'm full of speculation after speculation.
But I do know how it feels to not be able to write about the one thing that is consuming you. I've been there! So I hope you can get it off your chest soon, and I say that because I want you to feel the relief of the burden, not because I want my curiosity satisfied.
Love you!
I know how it feels to not be able to write about the things consuming you. It's why I started my blog.
In other news, we also put our tree up on Thanksgiving. We were going to a friends for dinner at 5, so we had all day. My kids loved helping.
Growing up we always had real trees and I miss the smell. Fake scents are never as good. I love Christmas, too.
Isn't that so annoying? BLogging can be so cathartic, but it seems the things that most need airing out are the things that have to stay hidden. And then you can't write about anything at all.
I feel your pain.
I know what you mean about not writing about what's going on! I'm in the same boat. But I think I'm going to write about it all - just to get it out - and then delete the draft! :D
I'm where you are... not being able to write about what I really want to write about because it's not "blog approved". That puts a blogger in a precarious situation because if you can't write about what's REALLY on your mind you left with the surface-level stuff... which contains NOTHING about what you really want to say.
I've tried writing the "veiled" post-- which is actually quite hard and exercised my writing muscles... but left me feeling unsatisfied because you can't get the feedback that you really want. Not that anyone is actually still reading my blog because, you know, the surface level stuff.
Sorry for the comment hi-jack. Maybe I have more to say than I realized.
xo
So I am seriously fighting the urge to ask you all sorts of questions and get nosy…
I'll talk about the weather instead - I really want snow! Can we borrow a few inches of yours?
