Zits happen

Somedays you just wake up with a giant zit in the middle of your forehead. You're not sure how it got there and any attempts to try and hide it would be futile, unless you're willing to do something as drastic as cut yourself some bangs. But eventually the zit would go away and then you'd be stuck with some very crooked bangs that you never really wanted in the first place. And bangs take a long time to grow out. So instead you let your dashingly handsome husband take you out for your favorite Thai food then whisk you away to a rooftop concert where you can swing and sway under a gorgeous summer sky. Then you come home and let him hold you all weekend long and after a while you no longer care about the giant zit about to erupt in the middle of your forehead.

Reasons I shouldn't start a blog

1. I don’t have any adorable children.
2. I’m not super crafty, and couldn’t afford the supplies necessary to be super crafty even if I was.
3. I’m not so good with make-up or fashion stuff.
4. I don’t go on super sweet vacations, and I usually forget to take pictures when I do go on vacation.
5. I can’t cook or bake (apparently there is a difference in the blogging world).
6. I haven’t run a marathon, half marathon, 5K, or completed a triathlon.
7. I don’t have a political agenda.
8. It would hurt my feelings and make me angry if people left nasty comments about my political views.
9. I’m not humorous or witty.
10. I feel uncomfortable talking about myself.
11. I’m not remodeling a house.
12. I don’t watch TV, listen to music, or go to movies all that often.
13. I don’t have a high-tech camera to take awesome pictures with.
14. I love eating out, but do not fancy myself a restaurant connoisseur.
15. I would feel uncomfortable telling a bunch of strangers that I deeply and passionately love my husband.
16. Announcing that I’ve spent the whole day cleaning the house, doing the laundry, and making dinner usually makes me feel more depressed than accomplished. (Don't get me wrong, I love a clean house, clean laundry, and a delicious meal, I just don't love spending the WHOLE day making it happen.) 

I want to note that I very much enjoy blogs that are written about many of these topics, and I'm glad that many of my friends and family and complete strangers write blogs about these topics.
