See? I came back for a second week in a row, just as promised! Sorry if this caused you to lose a bet. Next week, you’ll know who the winning horse is!!! …Or something.
One of the reasons that my posts have been a bit on the lean side this year (ok, VERY lean….expect Sally Struthers to appear asking you to donate money to my blog posts), is due to the fact that I’m terrible at coming up with blog post ideas. I can ramble on about things like the X-Men and Batman forever (*cough* “The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1” is AWESOME, go check it out *cough*), but that’s not really what this blog is about, nor is it my goal to scare everyone away with mindless nerd babble.
So, my savior is the writing prompt! I did a google search, and was suddenly reminded that it was Nay Mole Blow Pole month, and EVERYONE is going to be getting desperate for blog writing prompts! Hail to the Blow Pole!!!
I found a list on BlogHer, so I have chosen the topic listed for today (uh, I mean YESTERDAY) because it’s totally fitting: “If you could live anywhere, where would it be?”
A year ago (or even six months ago), I’d have said “Wilmington, NC in a better house!!!!” Now that it’s November 3rd, 2012 I say “Near Wilmington, NC in the dream house that Jenn, Sandy, and I designed!!!!” Not that the apartment we’re in now isn’t great, it’s just that it will be nice to be settled in our house. The sales rep from our future housing community just sent us this photo, the first glimpse we’ve gotten of the siding and shutters!
Doesn’t that look great?? I think we did a great job picking out the exterior colors!!
But the real point that I wanted to make is that I love living in Wilmington (or just outside of it, as the case will be). I’ll be driving down the road running an errand, or going out with Jenn, and I’ll think “Wow, what a great town we live in!” pretty much daily. The weather is perfect, there’s a TON of stuff to do, and Iron Man spent the summer down here. What’s not to like???
There’s no “the grass is always greener” syndrome going on now that we’ve finally made it down here and settled in. It was the right choice, and I have no regrets!
