Looking For A Little Blog Post Direction

Hi blog readers! The ones of you who are still popping in from time to time. I was just checking my stats and there have been quite a few page views, surprisingly, since I haven't posted in a couple of weeks.

While I haven't been here, I have actually been thinking about and planning the future for my blog posts, where to take this blog from here, blog post ideas, etc. Since I began writing this blog two years ago, I've sort of let it go wherever it wants to go with no real planning, just whatever comes to mind and is a part of my day or life.

That's probably what will continue to take place, but at least I have good intentions on direction now or at least I'm trying to obtain some direction.  Anyway, here's kind of what I have in mind for future blog posts:
  1. For all you Asperger/autism parents that follow my blog, you have probably all left by now  because I have been writing very little about autism or adventures with my Aspie son. Since he's away at college and I am several hundred miles away from him right now there is very little to write about lately that I feel wouldn't violate his privacy. You may remember the bed bug incident (Here) that happens to be the most popular post of all time I think because of those computer robot things. Go figure! When new issues arise, however, you may find a blog post here about it. Surviving bed bugs is important!
  2. Triathlon training and races will continue to be a part of this blog since it's a huge part of my life. Fitness is actually going to be an even bigger part of my life because we just purchased a gym franchise and will open two gyms in the St. Petersburg area within the next 6 months that I will run. This should keep me pretty darn busy in the days ahead. Don't be surprised to see some blog posts on this. Hopefully, not stressed out, pulling out my hair kind of blog posts.
  3. Fashion, especially shoes, will always be a small part of this blog. I love clothes, but hate shopping. If I loved shopping, there would be many more fashion posts, but one very unhappy husband. As I mentioned in a previous blog post, my photographer got another job and quit on me (Read about it Here) and I'm terrible at selfies so this limits the fashion posts too.
  4. What I eat, places I frequent, travel, etc. will always be a part of this blog. I have so many places already that I need to share but haven't had the time. We just moved to a new city that has much to offer and I like to share my discoveries here. Expect to see more of this soon. Doesn't everybody like pictures of food? Aren't you all just dying to see what I'm eating?
  5. Cats. That's a given. Whether you like those posts or not, my cats are the coolest, most talented supreme cats ever so expect lots of blog posts about their awesomeness. You're welcome!
  6. The Murph, my husband, who continually cracks me up and gives me lots of fodder to steal from. He hates it when I pick up on his little, sort of obnoxious sayings and idioms and overuse them. Why? Because they ARE obnoxious and funny to strange people like me who have a dry sense of humor and are full of sarcasm in general. Expect to see lots of it here and any other things he does that amuses me.
Well, I think that takes care of just about everything I write or plan to write about here. I promise to get back to regular postings. You've probably enjoyed the break from my crazy randomness, but then again, you keep coming back for more.

It must be the cat pictures. I hate to disappoint so here you go... One more Cadence, the photo bombing freak cat, picture. 



You're welcome!

I Know It's A Little Late But Here's My Oscar Favs and The Not So Much Favs

I know I'm a little late doing a post on the Oscar's last night, but I've been tired all day, my legs are sore and I'm a little bit crampy.  So I apologize and I almost didn't post this out because of the lateness, but then I decided why the heck not.  It's my blog.  It's random.  I have a touch of ADD.  I can procrastinate if I want to procrastinate.  Besides, I worked out twice today and got a lot of things done around the house even though what I really needed was a nap.

First, here's all my favorites and yes, I'm including Jennifer Anniston's red Valentino gown even though I don't wear red that much.  I love the shade,  I think it looks great on her and I love the full skirt.  



Here are some more of my favs...


If you didn't love Jennifer Lawrence before she tripped up the stairs as she was going to get her Oscar, you surely love her now.  I love this look on her.  Very pretty Dior gown!


I love this one on Charlize Theron too.  Peplum's may not be such a bad thing after all!


My overall favorite was this sparkly Armani dress worn by Naomi Watts.  This would be my choice if I was up for an Oscar nominee.  I'm not holding my breath or anything.

Below are some of my not so favorites although I don't hate them.


This blush pink Prada gown worn by Anne Hathaway was just plain boring to me from the front.  The back was much more interesting, but by the time I saw the back I was almost asleep from boredom.


And another boring one.   She's gorgeous, but the look, "Yawn."


I have always thought Halle Berry was great, but this dress just didn't do it for me.  It actually was kind of scary looking, but there were other dresses much worse.

Like this one....


There were others I didn't really like, but I would rather put gowns I love on my blog so I'm finished for now.  I'm going to go ice my legs.

What was your favorite?
