Revamping the blog.

From and including: Saturday, October 18, 2008
To, but not including : Friday, February 12, 2010

It is 482 days from the start date to the end date, but not including the end date

Or 1 year, 3 months, 25 days excluding the end date

Alternative time units

482 days can be converted to one of these units:

• 41,644,800 seconds
• 694,080 minutes
• 11,568 hours
• 68 weeks (rounded down)

As you can see, I used this website to calculate how many days it has been since I first posted to this blog. In these last 482 days, I've published 42 posts. That's not even 1 post a week!!

So at this point I ask myself, "What do I want to get out of this blog? What do I want it to be?" And, because I talk back to myself, I say "I have no idea."

But, I have been having ideas lately. Ideas about organizing. Organizing the house, our meals, this blog. These ideas are not new really. I've had them before. So, before anyone gets too excited (I'm mostly talking to myself here again), know that these ideas may not pan out. But here is the big idea... Themes.

I am going to use what I call "Themes" to revamp certain areas of my life. It seems kind of corny, but I think it will help me make decisions. For instance, if Tuesday is Italian day, that gives me a more narrow list of options for dinner ideas. And if it's "Thankful Thursday" on the blog, that will give me more ideas of what I can write about. I'm going to make a concerted effort to publish a post everyday, but if I miss a day here or there, I will simply try to pick it back up when I can.

Now, I'm pretty sure not many people read this very often (of course there is often not anything to read, haha). I only have three "followers". And that's okay. I don't know if I will "blogcast" to facebook (I'm not even sure if that's what you call it) or try to get more people to read. I think for now, I will just use this more as a tool for myself and treat any readers as a bonus. Consider yourself a bonus :)

There are also people who have blogs where they create a list of 101 things to do in 1001 days, or take a picture each day for 365 days. I kind of have an ambition to do these things too and I'm trying to decide whether or not to create one or two more blogs (which is kind of silly, I can't keep up with one, how do I expect to keep up with three?). I will give that a little more thought...

Okay, so you are probably dying to know what my themes are now, right? Well, me too. haha. Okay, I have to admit, I have a few ideas, but I have not hashed it all out completely. So, you will have to come back tomorrow to find out what my themes will be :)
