I got this from over at Karen’s. Won’t you play along too?
April 13th Questions:
1. How long have you been blogging? Who is your target audience? How often, if at all, do you think about quitting or taking an extended break? What do you do when you start feeling burned out with blogging?
Originally? I started blogging about 4 years ago. That blog is now defunct. I took a lot of extended breaks and eventually just quit it. I don’t really ever feel burned out, I just start to struggle with interesting things to discuss.
As for a target audience, I don’t really write with one in mind per say. I write a training blog on Thursdays for readers with dogs and/or dog questions. But, I’m still writing that for me. I want to share my knowledge and get the info out there to make some lives better. I write about the trials of Casey, my horse because he’s a big part of my life and I write about my family. I don’t really target an audience. I write for me and either you like it or you don’t.
2. What’s on your mind now?
Random thoughts in my head… My ears are cold, we have 2 months to find a house but I want it found right now, Freya seems to be snoring more and more in her old age, if Tasha thinks an Arab is a better fit for me, why did I move to a state where they’re less common? How soon until Casey sells? Is it too early to horse shop? And lastly, Glad I cleaned up the yard first thing this morning for the lawn guys as it looks like rain! Now I don’t have to pick up after the dogs in the rain!
3. If you were able to live to the age of 90 and retain either the body or the mind of a 30-year old for the last 60 years of your life, which would you want? Explain your answer, please.
I already have the aches and pains of a much older person. I can only imagine what it will be like to grow old in this body and I don’t imagine the aches will ease. So, in that case, as long as I’m guaranteed to not become senile or get Alzheimer’s, I’d take the body of a 30 yr old so I could remain active. Heck! I’d take my body at 30 because I felt better! I could be active for such a long time.
4. What would you constitute a “perfect” evening for you?
It would have to depend on my mood for the day as it changes. At the moment, a “perfect” evening would be a nice, dressed-up adult meal out with a glass or two of wine, catch a movie or a play and just have kid free time. That would be lovely. If you want to add in coming home to a spotlessly clean house and kids all asleep, that would be perfect!
2. Yes and no – depends on how much self control you have on whether you should horse shop.
In the past that has only gotten me into trouble because I find a way to buy when I shoudn’t. AND it also makes me depressed when I can’t move on – when a horse is not selling horse shopping make me think of all the cool things I could be doing if only so and so would sell. So I would not recommend horse shopping – but some people like Chelsi over at AOHCM can do it alot and not end up in the situations I have been in…
Then again if you did do a little horse shopping here and there when you did have the funds – you’d know exactly which horses to go look at….
So yeah – it depends….
Oh, no plans to buy until Casey sells! Casey is staying in training until he does sell because that’s what’s best for him.
