【ブログ更新しました】「#100blogs」始めるための取り組もうとしてること。アウトプットを意識して書いてみよう！【ブログ】

昨日、10月は1ヶ月100記事を目指すと書いたNEPPIEです。 が、仕事してるし、いろいろと忙しい中、どうやって更新しようかは悩ましいところ。 どうやって書く時間を作ろうかと考えてみようと思いました。

まずは普段からブログの記事になりそうなネタを考えてみることを意識してみようと思います。 仕事中は業務に集中する必要がありますが、仕事柄インターネットをチェックすることもあるので、気になったときはブックマークするかURLをPCのメモ帳（会社では秀丸エディタを使うことが多いです）に残しておいたりしています。 休憩中などに改めてチェックして、下書きで書いている記事にURLを書いて一言書くなどしていこうかなと思います。

モブログもやっていきたい

ブログの更新頻度を高めるには、PCで書いてるだけでは時間が足りないと思ってます。 最…

今日は仕事をほぼ定時で上がりました。 夕食どうしようかなぁと考えながら帰宅の途についています（その前に寄るところがありますが）。 (more…)

おはようございます。 いつもより早く目が覚めてしまったので、iPhoneに入る通知を見ていたら、 「#100blogs」のアイキャッチが出来上がったというお知らせが届きました！ (more…)

昨日は毎日更新を目指して自分用アドベントカレンダーを作ったNEPPIEです。 その時は1日1記事書ければいいかなと思ってたのですが…。 日付変更線超えて、Facebookを開いてみたら、とんでもない企画が待っていたのでした！ (more…)

Why is it that when you want words, they never come? Bad as cats, I swear.

I say to myself, I will attempt to write a novel. I will write 50,000 words in 30 days.i make an outline, do prep….and stare at my notes, cursing the way that those words don’t come.other words come, so now I’m blogging instead of focusing on thedays I have left.

It’s funny- I have this outside of writing, too. Sometimes, there is a person in front of me, and all the things I want to say, or I know I need to say…and it all gets jumbled between my brain and my mouth. It’s like the filter between them is over full, so nothing gets out at all. Or, even worse, I make inane chatter that doesn’t have anything to do with anything.

I'd like to say that from the moment I saw him I knew that we would be together forever.  That I somehow knew he would be a big part of my life for as long as I lived.  That it was love at first sight.  But those things don't exist.  

When I first met him, what struck me immediately was how much he looked like my childhood/high school sweetheart.  I'm not ashamed to admit, that nearly shut it down before it began.  But he had a way about him that made him appealing despite his resemblance to my first love.  He was bright, funny, articulate, and best of all, he expected nothing from me.  He simply allowed me to be the person I was.

Over the next few months, long conversations both at work and driving around Anchorage in the middle of the night lead us to get closer and closer.  We discussed having a purely physical relationship.  I'd just gotten out of a bad "marriage" and was in no way ready to start something new.  I had no idea how to love myself, how could I possibly love someone else.  So we decided that as soon as he got transferred to another store (which was supposed to be in a month) we would start that.  It couldn't be sooner.  I was technically his boss, and I wouldn't go down that road as long as that was true.  So we waited, and talked, and got to know each other, and learned many things about ourselves and about each other.  His transfer kept being pushed back as the other location's opening was put on hold, so I saw him every day.  We became friends without trying and fell in love without meaning to.  It was the most natural thing in the world.

When the time finally came to begin the physical aspect of our relationship, it was already too late.  We were both already deeply in love.  It's amazing how he became the most important man in my life without really even trying.  

We've been together for 11 years now.  We've been married for almost 10 and we have 3 beautiful and amazing children.  It's incredible to see how far we have come, starting out wanting a friendly booty call when the desire came.  Life has thrown everything it can at us, and we're still standing.  Stronger than we've ever been.  Every obstacle is just another chance to prove to the world and each other that there is no place either of us would rather be.

Don't take that to mean we never fight.  If two people in a relationship always agree, one of them isn't necessary.  But we never let the fight overwhelm us.  We disagree, but we talk and we work through it.  We build each other up and we listen.  Our life and relationship isn't perfect, but it's perfect for us.
