Over the past three months, I have started probably a grand total of 8 blogs. This blog post is going to be all of the failed beginnings of these blogs. I hope you enjoy.

Blog 1 started May 3, 2009-
Ahem! I have something to say and I will say it now! (yep, that's all she wrote. And you will never know just what it is I was going to say.)

Blog 2 started May 29th 2009 entitled Running on Empty-
So, I have decided to start running again. If only I had the motivation to get out of my house and do it. The other day, I was sitting in my family room with Callie and Alan G, just staring outside and thinking "Hmmm, I should go running. That actually sounds good. Running NEVER sounds good so I should DEFINITELY act on this." So what did I do? I'll tell you what I did. I got up, walked into the kitchen and snatched two freshly baked chocolate chip cookies from the cooling rack and promptly shoved them into my mouth. FAILURE.

Blog 3, Started June 9th 2009 entitled Save the POLAR BEARS!-
For the last few days, McKay and I have been house sitting for my good friend Satyra's family. They are in Cancun enjoying surf, sun, and H1N1 Influenza. Satyra will single handedly bring swine flu to the BYU masses. Heneway: as we babysit the Taylor's beautiful new home out in the middle of nowhere (not kidding. It's just out there, in the country, by some fields) and eat their food and sleep in their basement, we also watch their movies. Correction: we watch their Planet Earth. They have a projector and a big old screen to watch on. It is absolutely terrifying to wake up from a long blink and see a giant great white shark leaping out of the water at you. Scared the living daylights out of me.

Blog 4, Started June 21st 2009-
Okay. REALLY Idaho? You decide to make it rain more than ever before in the history of Idaho, the exception being the Great Flood. And you know what? If it's going to be all gloomy and rainy here, and if it is going to be the rainiest place in the continental United States, I DEMAND that I have a sparkly vampire/Edward Cullen to love. Right. This. ONE ONE!

Blog 5, Started July 3rd, 2009 entitled "Erin, will you play dress-up with me in the playhouse?"
Oh good heavens. So many children, so little time. Seriously, I don't know how people have children right now. They are fun, adorable, and I love them all to pieces, but GOOD NIGHT. They wear me OUT. As in, I'm ready to DIE right now of exhaustion. The above quote is from my niece Audrey. Now picture me, playing dress-up. Hilarious, right? Well, Audrey is the queen of drama and dress-ups. I had to wear gloves, hats, feather boas, and all sorts of things I have never worn in my life. My problem is I can't say no to those little faces and their cute little voices! If anyone else asked me, I'd say "Aw HELL no." But here I am, in a pink hat, gauzy scarf, and a lacy skirt.

Blog 6, started August 2nd 2009 entitled Post-Wedding Letdown-
Errbody was here, and now errbody is gone. My sister got married on Friday the 31st of July and it was crazy. My mother was ready to have a coronary (really, Callie? it's FINE) and the house was full of people at all times. But I will say that it was a beautiful affair. We were all together and we were all happy. But now all of the siblings are gone. Cara and Tyson are in the Caribbean meeting Jack Sparrow and Will Turner, Jen and Brant and the crazy/adorable ones are in Kansas, Kate is back in DC (after I DROVE her to the airport because she coerced me into it using guilt and a long-held knowledge of how to make me do anything she asked me to), and I am sleeping.

Blog 7 started August 10th 2009 entitled Pie, Oh Glorious Pie-
For the last week I have been religiously watching the television show Pushing Daisies. I recommend it to all because it's HILARIOUS and charming. The show has an extremely interesting premise. Ned, a young man, has a gift/curse. He can make dead things come to life. Touch a dead thing once: alive again. Touch that dead thing again (a second time): dead for good. Keep that dead thing alive and don't touch it for 60 seconds, something else must die in its place to keep the cosmos in balance. But that isn't what I wanted to write about. Ned's profession is that of a pie-maker. Ned spends his days making delicious looking pies and all I want to do is EAT ONE RIGHT NOW. Seriously, every episode is full of rhubarb, strawberries, peaches, raspberries, pears, and sweet potatoes all being stuffed into a flaky, golden, and delicious crust. AND I NEED PIE RIGHT NOW.

Blog #8 started August 28th 2009-
I just recently decided I needed to indulge myself by purchasing something totally and utterly nerdy. Wanna see it?

YEAH. That's right. Tauntaun sleeping bag. I wish the tauntaun was my power animal...
