How To Suck At Blogging

How To Suck At Blogging:

1. Abandon your blog.
Post consistently for a while and then just never post anything for months.  Don't leave a goodbye message either.  Just disappear into the wind.

3. Neglect social media..
When you're not posting on your blog, don't post on social media, either.  Make people think you're off the grid somewhere while you go about your business.  Constantly check social media, though, following your new twitter followers back but not replying to their messages.

3. Come back to blogging, promise new content & then disappear.
Make this big deal about your return to blogging and how happy you are to be back, promising tons of new content "coming soon".  Then make one other post and disappear for a week.

4. Schedule erratic new content on the wrong day/time.
When you finally decide to get it together and actually post some content, do so on the wrong date and/or time.  Or, better yet, have a completed #throwbackthursday post hanging out in your drafts when all you had to do was hit "publish".

 

Look at my "artsy" picture

5. Break your phone.
When you finally do decide to return to blogging "for real this time". make sure to break the camera on your phone so you get "artsy" shots like the one above.  Make sure your phone is so messed up that the camera will only focus about 2% of the time to actually take clear pictures.  Who needs to actually see what's going on anyway?

But really, guys.  Even though all of those things happened to me and I do, in fact, suck at blogging, my computer has been having some issues which has made posting here difficult.  And by "issues", I mean taking 30404050505050522 years to load a single picture, if it even completes doing so.  Such virus.  Such computer savvy.

Grocery Issues

One of the major “adult” things I struggle with is grocery shopping.  Here are the top three things I struggle with:

1.  I don’t plan out meals in advance:  I’ll just grab a ton of things at the store & hope for the best.  I’m so messed up that I don’t even really have staples that I buy.  I have a love/hate relationship with milk and eggs.  I buy them, but then I’m dumping the milk down the drain and throwing the eggs away, so then I don’t buy them and really need them for something!

2.  I don’t have all of the ingredients for anything:  The problem with grabbing a ton of random things at the store is that I don’t have every single ingredient for anything.  Like I’ll have everything for tacos except the meat!  Or I’ll have pasta and no sauce or something.

3.  I’m a fruit & veggies person…except I’m not:  I’m all up in the produce section, picking up fruits and veggies that I’m totally going to eat…except I don’t.  By the time I’m ready to eat them, they’ve turned to mush in the fridge.  I’ve gotten way better at this because I just stopped buying fresh produce altogether, but some times I’ll slip up and end up with a fridge full of rotten produce.  I looked at some cut fruit I picked up and was surprised to find it wasn’t out of date!  I was so proud!

I totally wish I could be like Danielle from Blissful and Domestic.  She’s the best at everything frugal.  I found her blog a few years ago  through an AOL story and got super inspired.  Her family lived off $14,000 a year.  I really like some of her grocery tips, like shopping once a month & freezing  whatever you can to make it last.  If only I can muster the willpower to get this done!
