Day 14: 9/11/2011

Two weeks. Fourteen days straight of writing on this blog (with the exception of one day I wrote the next morning because I completely spaced it...). But non-the-less, I'm proud of myself. I've stuck to it for two weeks and I plan on keeping it going. I have been doing some thinking though and I'm going to be switching this up a little bit to hopefully keep it more interesting for me and for everyone else.

As of right now, I've just been doing a recap of the day. I did this, then this, then I went here, then this happened. It's really boring. So instead of doing a recap, I'm going to pick one thing from the day and write a little bit more in-depth about that thing. Something I see, something I do, something I thought of or something that happens. I think this will be much more entertaining and helpful to everyone involved.

Some examples that I was thinking I could have used for the blog today: The fact that it's the 10th anniversary of 9/11, the season opener for the Vikings today that they lost..., going to the Humane Society today, something a little bit more important that I can talk about for a while. This also leaves the blog open to more than one post/important thing a day as long as I keep to the guideline of at least once a day.

So there you have it, the one thing I talked about today is the plan for the new way I'm going to utilize this blog and try to make myself better. Chances are it will be pretty easy to figure out tomorrow's topic, I start work at BrightPlanet tomorrow. That is also the reason I should get to bed....

Day 7: 9/4/2011

Today was our last day in Minnesota. The family started out by going to church at the Church of our Lady of Victory in Fergus Falls. It was a nice service and not to far from my aunt and uncle's house where we were staying. We drove back to find a giant meal of scrambled eggs, sausage, toast, fruit and fried potatoes so we figured we should stay and eat some food.

Then we headed for home. Stopped in Watertown and got some Starbucks and my mom and I got into a big argument about who's frappuccinos were better, Starbucks' or McDonalds'. I'll give you one guess to who won :).

Then we made it to Sioux Falls where we went to eat at the Big Cheese. Pizza and beer always hits the spot. There I handed an old tablet off to my dad that I put Ubuntu onto. He's not very good with computers so we'll see how he does with Linux. Now I'm sitting at home relaxing. Looking forward to a day of seeing Katie and John and not much else tomorrow!

Also, if you want to see some pictures I took of my relative's game room, you can find them here. They are pretty ridiculous.
