How to Merge Your Blogs in Blogger

If you're like me and your current blog isn't your first crack at this, but you still like some of your posts from older, still existing blogs, then you may want to merge them.  

This will help your older posts be seen and allow you to delete those old blogs, freeing up those domain names, guilt free.  Those posts can be kind of sentimental can't they?



Here's what you do...

Not My First Time

I'm going to be honest with you.  This isn't my first time.  I've written blogs before.  I know, I know, how could I keep this from you, you ask.  Well, I'm sorry ok?  It just happened.  

The good news is that I've officially merged the three blogs together.  Yes, there were three!  ::dramatically throws herself onto the couch::  But I swear the other two didn't mean anything to me!  

Which is true and why I restarted with MCM (you know, My Caffeinated Mornings?).  

...6:30am and already a pot of coffee in...

Flirts of Boomtown

I'm sure plenty of you have heard horror stories of women getting harassed in Williston because of the seems-like 10:1 guy to girl ratio here.  While there are a TON of men, they're not all creeps.  A lot of them are actually pretty funny.  

10 Rules to a Happy Marriage


I've been asked many times what the secret to a happy relationship is and the truth is, there's more than one answer.  There's 10.  Just kidding, there's more, but I'm lazy and only want to talk about 10.  



10.  Make an effort to woo each other.  Just because you've made your relationship legit in the legal way, doesn't mean you can stop trying to impress each other.  You've heard of keeping spice in the relationship?  Well, that's what this is.  Making an effort to woo the other person.  Surprise her with flowers, make him his favorite meal.  Just do it!

9.  Speaking of wooing, let's not forget dating.  Yes.  Date night.  It may sound cheesy, but who doesn't love cheese?  I know I do, especially with a good wine.  Hey, that sounds like a great date night!  If you don't want to call it date night you don't have to, you can call it ball and chain night for all I care, just as long as you make plans to do something fun- just the two of you-on a regular basis.

Our Fellow Hell-goers





Grocery shopping is interesting here.  

Most people do their shopping on Sunday since that's the only day they don't work.  If you do decide to join the rest of the town and do your shopping that afternoon you will wait in line a looooooong time.  (We've waited 45 minutes-that's extreme, but it's happened.)

The better choice is to shop on Sunday morning.  But... it means you're skipping church.  And heaven forbid you skip church. ::she says sarcastically:: (According to a few extremists I've met, we're probably going to Hell.)

The Crunchy Trail (or, My Passive Aggressive Rebellion)

Let's talk about my sprint down the crunchy trail since we moved here...  

First, let me begin by saying that this is a lovely town, with lovely shops, restaurants, and people.  However, it is not "crunchy friendly"- Crunchy = "conservationists, environmentalists, neo-hippies, tree huggers, nature enthusiasts, etc."- and that is a total bummer.  

I Learned Something Today

3 facts about me.  


I use many different pet names with Chris.  

I am horrible at spelling. 

This is how I spell these pet names when I'm texting Chris: Hunny, Sweety, Sweatheart, among others.  

I learned something today.  


Sweatheart is not the same as Sweetheart.  



Like my drawing?

So it's been a while

This is so cliche.  The blogger that doesn't post for 6 months and then write the "oops, it's been a while, there's just so much going on!" post.

Well here's mine.  Oops, it's been a while, there's just so much going on!

The biggest update is that we've moved into a house.  That's right, we no longer live in an RV, whoop whoop!

More on that later.  Right now, I'm going to go make dinner.

That's another thing, I cook now!  HA!  Who saw that coming?  Not me!
