I’m not particularly good at follow through on ideas. Even ideas I really think, at the time, would be fun, or good, or responsible or even required. It’s hard for me to commit to doing anything every day. But somehow I knew that writing a blog each day would work out just fine.
Especially in November when I had so much going on, so many activities to mine for blog material. I only had one day when I had nothing to say. I probably filled that one with pictures of Katie. I am lucky to have photogenic filler.
NoBloPoMo was fun. I’d do it again. The only down side was that sometimes more important topics were too soon covered up with insignificant fluff, just because the sun came up on another day.
Today’s post is brought to you by random photos that never had a chance to shine in the craziness of November. Hope you enjoyed being overrun by me and my family. I already know you smile when Katie shows up.
So here she is.

I don’t think I could do it for a whole year like you did…I was thinking this month that must have been difficult!

There were times when I wanted to pull out my hair, Dawn! It got to be quite disturbing. But would ride out the distress and then suddenly it would feel wonderful. You developed a rhythm around it until it felt like brushing teeth or washing dishes.

I was glad you did the challenge because it meant a warm hug from Dawn every day!
Whatever that thing with all the valves is, it sure is cool!

Good job, Dawn! I know what you mean about more important topics being quickly covered up by fluff. It’s difficult to sort and think when you have to post every day.

Behind on my reading and blogging again. I see a lot of your posts from FB but don’t always look for the ones that aren’t. I love the photos in this one! And I had no idea that there was a blogging equivalent of NaNoWriMo, or I might have participated… as usual, after 2 days in NaNoWriMo, real life overwhelmed me and I did not progress on my writing. I’ll think about that for next year.
