Daily Dose

The prompt today over at NaBloPoMo is a question about what you learned from blogging daily.

I've been in the habit of blogging daily for a while so I'm not sure that I learned anything in particular this month from doing it daily.

I do realize that I typically have a lot I want to say.  I have a whole lot of opinions and observations about my own life experiences, but that's why this is blog is labeled in the subtitle as my life in my corner of the world.

I also realize that quite often what I want to say, shouldn't really be said, at least not out loud in the big public venue of the Internet.

Sometimes it's fun to play a meme or blog hop.  Sometimes prompts are great for jogging a thought or getting a post printed.  Sometimes they make you roll your eyes. Sometimes you write for your audience and sometimes you write for yourself.

Comments can be fun and encouraging or just down right nasty.

I am reminded how often I write a great blog in my head while I'm driving or showering and then when I finally get the minutes to sit down and pound them out, the idea is gone, or maybe the idea is still there but the turn of phrase, the great poignant moment I was creating is missing.

So what about you? What did you learn about yourself by writing daily? Is it a challenge you would ever take? Was it something you just ho-hummed and half-assed your way through this month just so you could say, whoo hoo, I did it, or did you really dig into yourself and find something?

Summerfest

News Flash...it's summer time!

I know, you wouldn't know it by the blog around here, it's been dreary, dull and dark. That got me thinking about a fun story or a fun meme for today. After all, it is Friday. Friday usually means fun, so let's have fun.

Now, I couldn't find a meme for today that I liked, of course. Know what that means? I made up my own.

Around here it's Summerfest time, maybe some of you've heard of it? We're a little bit proud of it around here. And I have to tell you, if you've never been, it's worth a trip at least once. So, we're going to do our Friday Meme about Summerfest.

1. What is your best Summerfest music memory, or if you've never been to the fest, what is your best summer concert memory?
2. Tell us your all time favorite must have Summerfest eat.
3. What is your best general Summerfest memory?
4. Tell us your traveled to or from Summerfest story.
5. Did you do something crazy to win tickets or do you do the daily deals or do you just pull out the credit card and pay at the door?

So now, we play. We all leave our answers in the comments or on our own blogs with a link back to here so we can all go for a blog visit.

Wow! All this talking about Summerfest has me summer dreaming. I'm wishing I was back in those easy care free summers of the 20's. No kids, no worries, spending cash...oh yeah. Maybe I ought to find me a sitter and relive some of that old time fun with The Mr. Any one, any one...sitters I mean. Maybe, good old Summerfest will read our meme and send along some sweet Summerfest tickets...a girl can dream, right?

Meet you in the comments!
