One thing that came crystal clear to me was: I miss blogging.

Anyway, I'm now getting back on track -- with a whopping 3 post per week!!! -- but geez, I'm rusty! So, what do I do? I look back on my archives. For inspiration. For ideas. For reassurance that I truly am an entertaining blogger and that my life is cool enough to write about.
So, you can imaging my glee when I found that Darren at Problogger recently challenged his readers to link to 7 blog posts that fit 7 different themes. Whoa! A dare with built-in blog archive surfing!!!
Anyway, here's me, looking back at my writing, revisiting, and getting inspired...
- Your first post – What an appropriate title: A Good Place to Start. You can totally see that this blog started as a healthy-living blog. If you didn't know that fact, you'd wonder what the hell the point of the post was. At least I would.
- A post you enjoyed writing the most – My F*ck It List was my favourite one to write. I was totally in the burnt-out, "I'm so sick of all this crap" frame of mind. Cathartic post. Totally. Stopped me from getting hammered and running thought the neighbourhood naked and screaming profanities at fire hydrants.
- A post which had a great discussion – Oh, god, the Freebie 5 lists, hands down! Please -- everyone, even me!, seems to have an opinion on Brad Pitt's shapely ass, or the like.
- A post on someone else’s blog that you wish you’d written – I haven't done any open letters to anyone here just yet, but when I do, I'd want it to be as funny as this one by Jenny. Good heavens, this woman could make me laugh so hard, I almost pee. I hope that one day my writing will make my readers pee.
- A post with a title that you are proud of – I thought *for my leg is hollow, and I have eaten pie* was so clever. It was my take on the Star Trek episode called "For the World is Hollow, and I have Touched the Sky". The post had nothing to do with the episode, or anything Star Trek for that matter. Just my family. Who I often suspect of having been replaced by aliens anyway.
- A post that you wish more people had read – The engagement-present post I wrote for my cousin Glo and her now-husband Shaun. It captured how fun-loving this crazy couple is. And everything I wrote? All totally true. I'm such a liar.
- Your most visited post ever – 8 Skills Every Woman Should Master had mixed reviews. I suspect most of the negative nellies had no concept of "tongue in cheek" -- I suspect they had their tongues in other
cheeksplaces.
Thanks for the visual imagery of you screaming naked at a fire hydrant! I'll keep that one for when I need a giggle.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I enjoyed all those posts as well :-)
This one makes me happy because WELCOME BACK NEN!!! But it makes me sad because when I think about my Super 7, so many of them tie back to my former blog/life...I don't know - do those still count? That said, starting fresh with Chez Rougie was the right thing to do. Give me another few months and I'll have my Super 7!
