Welcome
to my blog.
I am a girl named Ryan.
Yes, a girl. Always been one... Will ALWAYS be one. I am also a daughter, sister, wife, mother and graphic designer. I blog here to share the stories of how I can some how manage to be all of those titles & SOMEHOW stay sane. If thats what you call it.
If you need me for anything or have a question about something... please email me at ryanikon@gmailDOTcom.
and about rudeness.
and rudeness
of the week.
fastlane rudeness.
You know when your schedule is so busy you dont even have time to stop and think? And you cant even remember what day it is? But all you know is you have to be somewhere NOW and you have to go to the store NOW and you have to drop off something NOW and you have to GO NOW AND DO NOW AND BE NOW! And OMG! I am in the fastlane, been stuck here for 3 days and I dont think I'm getting out for a couple more days.
and rudeness.
and old rudeness.
and find rudeness.

Sometimes the flood gates just bust open.
Being as though it is Thursday and I havent posted since Monday, I am sure you guys noticed that Tidbits of Me, Tuesday did not happen this week. A lot has not happened over the last couple days. There are moments in my life when I realize I have to step away from something in order to keep it.

For me, in the last couple of days, it was blogging. I just needed to step away for awhile. When I started blogging last year, I added blogging to an already long, over-stressed list of daily activities. But my love for blogging has made me learn to manage my time better to fit in my addiction to Blogland. Damn you Blogland. This said addiction... is the very reason I have never dabbled with drugs. I am easily addicted to anything. And of course I mean that like, I am easily addicted to wanting to play darts all the time, ice cream with chocolate syrup and watching 24.

I am not here to bash my husband and I am not here to say I am done with blogging. While I wanted to post something Tuesday full of hate and rage towards my husband and then hit the delete this blog button... I walked away.

I love to blog. (Oh, and I love my husband.) Sometimes he and I have a hard time communicating exactly what we want and the importance that something has to us. Tuesday night I wanted a couple of hours to blog. He wanted to finish his homework. That pissed me off. Which pissed him off. Which pissed me off even more... you know where that went. Nowhere. Down the drain. While I know that I probably sound like a bitch for wanting to blog when my husband had homework thats not really the point here. (But his homework isnt due until Sunday.) I just had to throw that in there.

Blogging has been a great escape for me. A glimpse into other peoples lives that reminds me that I am not alone. This world can be such a cruel place to be but I am reminded of all the nice, cool people out there that still have hearts when I am in Blogland. You guys all ROCK! It's great to know that others go through the same problems. Or can help me through mine. There's nothing better for me than making someone laugh. Or even think. Who would have thunk that?

I appreciate each and every one of you that come to my site. Read through my ramblings and rantings. And of course I love you forever when you comment! Every comment makes me smile. Well, except for the weird porn link someone left me one day. Whoever you are, BASTARD!

Readers... nay... friends, thank you for giving me something to look forward to. For giving advice and making me smile. For always being there when I need you.

Oh, and todays post number 100. Cool, huh?!

Glad I can help! Seriously, I understand how you feel. I've been blogging for a year and a half now and I truly miss it when I can't get on and check blogs and update. It's driving me crazy not having much computer time!! So I totally get how you feel. ((hugs))

I recently wrote something...um...harsh (not untrue though!) about my husband and I hit the delete before I walked away too. My life is an open book and all that crap, but yeah. Yeah. Sometimes you should just delete.

I can relate. I love blogging, to excess sometimes, and sometimes I need the blogging to keep me sane, but other times I know I need to take a little break to stay sane. I love comments too -- I'll take this opportunity to thank you for being probably the most regular commenter at my blog!

Also -- I think every couple has the occasional issue with articulating and communicating what we really want/need.
