Friday Coffee Date- I Voted!
Oh, hi there! Thanks for joining me. I’m hoping you’re reading this with a delicious hot beverage in your holiday mug. If we were having coffee (tea) together I would tell you that… I voted! I went on Wednesday, my day off, and it was quick and easy. After all the drama around this election, it was a relief to go and mark my ballot. Although- am I the only one who does this?- I’m always paranoid that I’m going to vote for the wrong person. It’s completely ridiculous- I’m not going to accidentally vote for Trump! But I kept checking my ballot over and over again. (Of course, I do live in Florida! But the ballots are different than they were in the 2000 debacle. No more hanging chads.) The other excitement of the day is- I fixed my blog! Well. I fixed the current glaring issue. The sidebar no longer shows recent posts in their entirety. And I created a “Favorites” category, so in case you’re new here and are thinking “What’s all this about a sprained ankle and DNFing a race?” you can find that race recap there. Unfortunately “Favorites” only shows up on the home page. I want it to be on the individual blog post page, and I’m baffled as to why it’s NOT there. Part of me wants to keep working on it, and get my blog all spiffy in time for NaBloPoMo! The other part of me thinks I should quit while I’m ahead, and not take the risk of deleting the entire thing right before November 1st. We’ll see. So- NaBloPoMo! It’s one week away! Every year, San does an incredible job of organizing our part of it. Her page describes what it is, but simply, NaBloPoMo is “National Blog Posting Month”- participants post 30 posts for each day of the month. It’s SO FUN! I encourage everyone to give it a try. I first met San through a fitness blogging community, but through NaBloPoMo I met all the other incredible bloggers who are now my BBFs (Best Blogging Friends.) In case you need inspiration, Engie has posted a list of NaBloPoMo Blog Post Ideas. If you want to participate, San has a sign up page. Of course you don’t have to officially sign up, but this way you’ll be on the list of participants, so others can find you (and you can find them!) Speaking of BBF’s, the Cool Bloggers Postcard Club is going strong! Elisabeth sent me a postcard from Portugal! Angie and Anne sent me a postcard on their day of crafting, and Lindsay sent the “darn it” postcard to cheer me up last week, when I mentioned I was feeling down. My husband is baffled- “You got ANOTHER postcard???” but I’m loving it. So fun. When are you going to vote? Do you have the weird paranoia that you’ll vote for the wrong person? Who’s planning to do NaBloPoMo?
