I changed my URL again so it's a bit shorter because typing "letterswordsandprettybirds" was a pain in the butt, so now it's simply "letterswordsbirds" and I think I can live with that. I just had such a hard time coming up with a cute title that wasn't "lydiawearsjeans." That one was easy to think of because my middle name is Jean and I wear jeans a lot.
"Letters, Words, and Pretty Birds" came from my obsession with hand lettering, the fact that this is a blog and I will be writing a lot, and my love of all things pretty and in nature. Not to mention it rhymes. My mom said I should write a post about how I've been bird watching my whole life, but when I think of "bird watching" I think of old people in floppy hats sitting on lawn chairs with binoculars. My parents are big bird fans, so I guess it kind of rubbed off on me. I mean, not many other 5th graders would get excited to see a bluebird sitting on a fence. I guess you could say I'm somewhat of a bird watcher, but not the kind with binoculars. Floppy hats, sure, but I don't need binoculars.
I'm going to try not to blog every day, but if it just so happens that I have something to write about a few days in a row, then I won't wait to post them. I'll try to make sure I post at least once a week during my busy times just so I don't end up dropping this as I do with so many other things. I guess those are my blogging rules for myself! I'm not going to write boring filler posts; if I absolutely HAVE to write something I'll probably tell an old story or go on a deep rant about something. Okay that is all~
