meme

I don't really have anything to report or even any new pictures, so I decided I'd do this meme I saw on my cousin's blog. Here it is.

1. How old is your blog? I'm not sure. I think it's about 3 months old.

2. How would you categorize your blog? It's kind of an edited journal of my life with pictures of my little girl.

3. Are the photos you post Photoshopped or otherwise altered? My first few posts were photoshopped to edit out ugly backgrounds and crop out stuff, and to add dead fish to a background. But my internet stopped working on my mac, so now I use my PC and it doesn't have Photoshop. So for the past month or two all the pics are the real deal.

4. Do you lie in your blog? Who would lie in a blog? What's the point?

5. Are you passive-aggressive in your blog? I think I'm more boring than anything.

6. Do you ever threaten to quit writing so people will tell you not to stop? No, I pretty much write for my own satisfaction so it's not important whether or not people read it.

7. Have you deleted any of your own posts? No. I've gone back and fixed some typos, but that's about it.

8. Do you delete mean comments? I've never had a mean comment. If I had a mean comment, that would mean someone in my family would have left it since they're the only people who read my blog. And my family's really nice, so they won't leave mean comments. But if I ever did get a mean one, I would probably retaliate in some way.

9. If your readers knew you in person, would they like you more or like you less? Hard to say. I'm not very good at making friends because I'm too shy.

10. How many blogs do you follow? All the blogs I have listed in my blog.

11. Which blogger do you want to meet in real life? I've already met all of them, but I would love to see every single one of them.

12. Does your family read your blog? I think I already answered that several times.

13. Do you have a hit counter? Well... I am installing a new counter in my kitchen and I think it'll be a big hit. Ha ha, I'm so funny. Right.

14. Is blogging narcissistic? I suppose...

15. Do you feel guilty when you don't post for a long time? I haven't had that problem yet.

Bonus: Do you try to look hot when you go to the grocery store just in case someone recognizes you from your blog? That's the silliest thing I've ever heard. I don't ever try to look hot.

I have to add something. I just poured myself a bowl of cereal and sat down to eat. I like to look out the window when I eat and the neighbor's son across the street is outside doing something to his car. I realized we're dressed exactly the same: wife beater and basketball shorts. The sad thing is, this is what I wear all the time. He's getting ready to wax his car, but this is my every day clothing. It's kind of sad. Well, I just got the city appraisal in the mail, and it's way more than it should be, which means they'll want to tax me a lot more, so I need to appeal it. According to them, my house has gone up $15,000 in value in the last year. I highly doubt that. I don't even understand this thing. Looks like about $140 of my $550 mortgage goes to taxes. Woah, I just looked at my mortgage statement, and only $185 goes to the actual mortgage payment. The rest is all insurance and taxes. Chloe just woke up, and not in a good mood.

I can't belive your mortgage is only $550! Even in Utah, we didn't get a price like that, and ours was pretty low. Also, we only paid interest the first 5 years on our loans. Luckily, we didn't have to keep it that long.
