how to not update a blog: a field guide.

hello dear readers! let me begin by telling you how incredibly sorry i am for neglecting this blog for FOUR entire days. it's unforgivable. fortunately, neglecting said blog has prompted my own super special field guide: how to not update a blog {in five easy steps.} allow the procrastination to begin!
     a wise woman once said that having a blog is like having a child. 
a needy, helpless, attention seeking child that must look unique, clean, and pretty. it should be fun to interact with. you just want your little blog to be the best that it can be. (blogging is basically like being a tiger mom.)
     but sometimes, you need a break from your dependent; you get tired of answering their every beck and call. that is when you consult the revered field guide and take a much deserved mini vacation. 
     (note: i do NOT condone these actions for real, life parents with real, life children. you are raising a HUMAN BEING for pete's sake. procrastination is, like, the ultimate taboo!! unless you want them majoring in leisure studies at arizona state university.)

STEP ONE

procure lots of friends. 

{classic kerry}

STEP TWO 

make sure those friends can cook.

for example, this weekend i learned that 

kerry makes a kick-ass puttanesca.

...but we ate her equally delicious dessert first. 

STEP THREE 

watch movies. 

lots and lots of movies. 

(make sure said friends provide witty commentary...

because you might be watching this)

but hopefully you also got to see this:

STEP FOUR

busy yourself with medicinal activities 

for example, biopsies or blood work 

{for real fun, do both on the same day. 

needles are too much fun, y'all.}

{didn't faint this time... accomplishment.}

STEP FIVE

get really into knitting.

adopt the mantra "knitters aren't quitters." 

because you are going to make a full fledged wool scarf

even if it kills you, dang it. 

most importantly, forget to feed yourself because

YOU ARE A KNITTING MACHINE. 

{in which case, step two should greatly benefit you. 

especially if you ate exactly-but-maybe-kinda-more-than half 

of a chocolate chip cookie dough brownie pan.}

no regrets.
