Signupitis

I think I've finally figured out what's wrong with my kids.  They have a classic case of signupitis. Not sure what that is?  Well let me explain.  It's a rare (or not so rare) case of not being able to avoid a sign up sheet! 

Between my two children, I have an SGA President, two Beta Club members, a guitarist, a dancer, a basketball player, a football player, a Gentleman's Club member, a wanna-be soccer player (I haven't said yes to that one yet), a Girl Scout, a Scholars' Bowl team member, and a partridge in a pear tree. 

I guess that old saying, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, is true.  I was thumbing through my senior memory book this evening with my daughter when she said, "Why do you tell us to stop signing up for everything at school when you were in 50 clubs yourself?" (50 clubs was her attempt at being sarcastic.)

To be honest, I like that they love being active and involved in school and community organizations. Especially since they are able to keep their grades up while doing so.  I joke with them all the time about having signupitis, but honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way! 

So......Ready...Set...Go!  It's time to start yet another adventurous week! 

P.S.  Don't forget about the awesome Giveaway on my blog this week.  There's still plenty of time to enter!

Finishing With the End in Mind?

I would love to be able to tell you that I have a strategic method for coming up with my blog posts, but to be honest, I don't.  I can't tell you how many times I've written a multi-paragraph blog post only to decide just before clicking the publish button that I no longer wish to use that particular post.

I started my blog as a place for me to do what I love to do:  write.  My blog is my comfort place.  I vowed that I wouldn't let it stress me out, for I already have enough things in my life that do that!  So, I approach each blog post as a moment (or two) for me to let go and just be me.

There's not much to my method.  I just get on my computer and write.  Whatever comes to mind.  I love writing freely and without constraint so blogging like crazy with See Jane Write magazine is really going to be a challenge for me this month.  But, I love a great challenge so I'm really looking forward to stepping out of my comfort zone!

Make sure to follow my blog, if you don't already, so that you can see how well I do with this blog project! Wish me luck!
