What I Don't Blog About

Happy Tuesday y'all!

Wow.

It has been a long time since I blogged last.

Life has a funny way of getting in the way of things I love to do,

and replacing them with work.

Anyhow, I've seen a couple of people post about things they don't blog about (most recently Alana!),

and I thought I would share mine.

Things you won't find on my blog:

1. The Army

Most of you know that I'm in the Army Reserves.

And I like to keep that about the extent of it.

As long as I'm under contract, I'd prefer to not say anything that could come back to my commander or an NCO.

There's so much I could say that I could write a book.

But until my enlistment is done,

I don't feel good blogging about it.

2. Politics/Social/Societal Issues

Like everyone else, I have my own opinions about politics.

If you could even call it that.

More like, I have an opinion on certain issues.

But people argue and fight and at the end of the day, everyone leaves with the same opinion they had to begin with.

And because of that, I just don't think it's all that serious that I need to voice my opinion on every single thing that happens.

So one thing you should know is,

I don't vote.

Yea.

Cue: "If you don't vote, then you don't have any right to complain."

If I had a penny for every time I heard that one.

But you know what?

I don't.

Hence why you will NEVER see it on this blog.

It actually annoys me when people feel the need to make everything that comes out of their mouth a strong political opinion.

And I don't want to be that person.

Besides the fact that I don't really feel I know enough about the issues to argue over them or vote.

So you're welcome.

3. Family Issues

I've heard it time and time again.

Bloggers wishing that they would have kept their blog from people that they know in real life.

Especially family.

Let me jump in that boat.

And even with these few sentences, I'm having to hit the backspace so as not to say the wrong thing.

So all I will say is at the end of the day,

it's a lot easier for me to have a problem with family members

than to make it worse by having them find out that I blogged about them

and add to the issue.

The list is short, but those things comprise a big chunk of things that I try to "write around."

What don't you blog about?

Coffee Date with You

{via}

If we were really meeting for coffee today...

... it would have to be iced.  Something about 100 degree, South Carolina weather doesn't make me want a hot cup of coffee!

... it probably wouldn't be in a Mason jar since we'd be at a coffee shop, but it would be cool if it was being the Southern girl that I am.

... I'd probably tell you how much I needed the caffeine since I started back to school yesterday, and my sleep schedule hasn't adjusted yet.

... Then I'd say how ready I am for the Fall semester to start so I can get back to Biology and Chemistry.
One more semester down is one step closer to me graduating.
And once I do that, maybe I can get a good job and move back to Charleston.

... I'd tell you how Chris' job search is still not going well, and its starting to really stress me out.
We don't really get to do much these days because, well, everything costs money, and we don't have it right now.

... But I'd tell you that I've been keeping busy working on Fall and Christmas items to put in my shop.
And working on this house.
If I can help it I will never live in another house that needs a lot of work again.
I just don't have it in me to have to replace everything because it's so outdated.


What would you tell me if we were meeting for coffee today?

I'm linking this post up to Coffee Date with Rags to Stitches and Virtual Coffee with Lucky Number13.

I hope everyone has a terrific Tuesday!
