Friday Confessional

I've never participated in this link-up at the blog Dandelion Wishes but I'm feeling like I need to do a little confessing.


Also, a new link-up never hurt anyone right?


I confess... probably one of my favorite moments of this vacation was when Bruin jumped off of a float. He refuses to jump off the dock, so when I saw him leap off a float after a tennis ball (with a little help from my sister's dog who was jumping too...) it was a very proud dog-mother moment.

I confess... that I've been feeling a little bit of anxiety, and some of it has been towards this blog. I've been watching my growth in hits and comments platueau, even fall. August may be the first month that my blog views is lower than the last. This is all silly since my blog is for me, but a girl can't help if she gets a little self-concious based on her stats.


I confess... I've been a lazy blogger. I haven't been commenting on many other blogs when it comes to link-ups, and I haven't been responding to my comments all that often. Which probably explains the aforementioned problems and thus anxiety above. (Sad face.) I hope that maybe once I get back in my routine maybe I'll be back to my normal, conscientious and kind blogging self?


I confess... even though I've been having a blast on vacation, I'm also looking forward to being off of it. Another piece of my anxiety has been knowing that I have SO much to do before school starts. Unpack boxes, decorate the room, organize the library, figure out my first unit... the list goes on.

So, while relaxing has been awesome, and spending time with family even awesomer ( I reserve the right to make up words as an English teacher, you are welcome,) it will be a relief to finally get those things done and off of my mind.


I confess... that I am a little impressed with the fact that I have tanned and not really burnt at all this week. This may not sound impressive, but as a freckled dirty blonde with Irish jeans, trust me, it is.


I confess... that I'm thinking about making some changes up in here on this blog!

When I made my blog, I didn't really know what my niche would be, or even what "voice" I would take on. Now that I've been doing it for a few months, I think I know the direction that I'll be taking. So maybe not immediately, but hopefully sometime soon, when I'm done being anxious about everything.

I confess... I am going to abruptly end this post so I can go fishing in a canoe with my husband. Vacation's not over yet, and that new pink pole that I got myself isn't going to use itself!

Happy Friday!
