Pokemon Going, Going, Gone

This is the sad tale of my experience playing Pokemon Go. 

It all started one morning as I told Sammy about the game. Somehow, he hadn't heard of it, despite the fact that he stays up to date on these things, and the fact that he loves Pokemon. He immediately downloaded the app, and attempted to catch a Charmander in our living room. After a few failed attempts, I asked if I could try. He let me, and I caught Charmander. I watched his cute little face as he was sucked into the Pokeball. I was then hooked. 

I ran around the apartment while Sammy caught another Pokemon. I danced in the background, laughing that the Pokemon was on me. I went to work that day and saw that one of my coworkers was playing as well. 

I didn't download the app myself for a few days. When I did, I went around happily catching Pokemon at my parents house. I played the next day (Sunday) as well, but quickly started getting bored. There were no cool Pokemon in my house or where I went. Sammy caught a cool flaming horse though, and I wanted that.

The next day, I eagerly went to work where my coworker told me a lot of Pokemon were. When I got there though, I saw that the app had erased all the Pokemon I'd caught, and logged me out. My dad had also pointed out the security risk of playing Pokemon, showing the inside of your home with the exact GPS location. All of this combined with my un-competitive nature led to me deleting the app. I'll never catch that flaming pony. Oh darn.

The End. 
Here's a picture from the time I tried to make an omelette in a mug. It was alright, but I got tired of eating eggs and went back to oatmeal with dinosaurs. And then cereal because cereal is cheaper-ish.

Fake

I feel like a lot of times when going through blogger, I'm always pushing the boundaries a bit. A lot of blogs seem to always be happy and awesome and they just won this free product from someone and it's great! And then, I'm over here in my little corner of the blogosphere wondering, hey, should I actually write about this? Is this something that you just pretend like it never happens? Am I the only one this happens to? My favorite moments are when I find someone cutting down those walls and sharing what life is actually like. That they have zits. That they don't have the perfect relationship and baby. That they've struggled with mental health. That they're secretly gross like me. (I took a quiz on buzz feed about how secretly gross are you, and I got pretty gross. In the guise of not being fake, I am sharing this fact with you all!) When I find those blog posts, I instantly feel a connection with that person and will automatically follow them on their life j...

Liebster-ing it up!

Funny story. A few days ago I was reading all the blogs I follow like I usually do. And of course I read  Jana's  blog and read about how she had won the Liebster award. I had no idea what it was, so I read her post full of fun facts, and for everyone I kept nodding my head going, I DO THAT TOO! Then today I re-read her blog, and realized that she'd nominated me for the Liebster award as well! It was a very exciting moment. Thank you! So I guess this is how it works, I think, I'm new to this whole thing. I totally just stole this off Jana's blog ;) "The Liebster Blog Award is given to bloggers by bloggers. It is a way to acknowledge each other and say 'you're doing a great job.' It is for blogs with 200 or less followers, so it's also a great way to spread the word about smaller blogs & get them more readers/ followers! When you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the person who nominated y...

Christmas Lights

It’s funny having a baby and then trying to do things. I’ve noticed over the last year that I’ve gotten an I Can’t do that sort of attitude. We can’t do that because Aaron will cry and we’ll get cranky and so on. I’m really trying to work on that.  My anxiety out in public is much worse too. Now I have two people to protect not just myself. The library definitely changed how I look at places and I wish it hadn’t.  Sammy really wanted to go to a Christmas village downtown but I was too overwhelmed by all the logistics. So we compromised and went to one near us. It was so much fun! It was cold out but not too too bad. Aaron loves looking at the Christmas lights at our apartments, and he really loved these ones. It was so much more fun trying to look at these things through his eyes.  He was also fascinated by the mini Santa and Mrs. Clause at grandma’s house.  I’m so glad we went and can’t wait to go next year when he’s walking:)
