I’ve started and restarted the same blog post about 10 times today. Only to get one line down on the page. I’ve been twitterfied! I have spent the last year neglecting my blog and only twittering.
What once was a thoughtful narrative is now only a short sentence. I keep trying to find creative ways to express my emotions, thoughts, love, believes in 140 characters or less.
Not sure if this is a good thing…
My mind and emotions have been swimming in the deep end lately. I can’t believe I haven’t posted in 2 weeks. That’s the longest I’ve ever gone without spilling my guts for the world to read.
I think it’s time for some spillage, but I can’t seem to get my thoughts in order. Tomorrow, I will have a good post. I promise. I’m not a dead link. And I’m not a mom blog (even though I can hardly keep my mind of my precious little baby girl, June). Here’s what happened in the past 2 weeks:
The economy sucks…and I can’t do anything about it.
BUT –
I have a knack for writing, editing and formatting resumes for my friends, family, and even former co-workers. If you need some help with your resume, I really want to help you. Here’s some quick tips, but feel free to leave a comment and I’ll email you if you need additional help:
In addition to helping with your resume, I’ll pray that you find a job – a GREAT job!
Start Writing!
Do you think God is trying to tell me something?
Instead of writing a blog entry today, I built a shopping page for your shopping pleasure. Enjoy!
Totally random…I was just writing a very serious blog post and “I’m Too Sexy” by Right Said Fred came up on my iTunes Shuffle…why do I even own this song!?!?!! I’m so embarrassed.
I totally lost my will and concentration to finish writing my serious blog post and decided to ask this very important question:
What song is on your iTunes that you are embarrassed of?
Oh my goodness…”Another Night” by The Real McCoy just came on my shuffle. What is happening in my life right now!?!
Mark and I love, love, love being connected. We love our gadgets and we love our internets. Twitter, blogging, flickr…We pride ourselves on our technorati scores and daily hits.
Yesterday though, we were spending time together and technology came between us. It became obvious that when we are with each other – even on a date – we are constantly checking email, sending twitter updates, or texting our friends.
Mark didn’t realize that it bugs me that he sends text messages to his friends while we are on a date, and I didn’t realize that it bugs Mark when I answer work emails on a date. Of course, it all came out in a slew of angry words and accusations until we both realized that we need to just be content on focusing on eachother when we are together. There’s a time to put the handheld device away and just be unavailable.
The thought of being unavailable to the world scares me, but the thought of being unavailable to Mark scares me even worse…

It’s officially the beginning of the end.

OK, so Josh found this really funny site and I’m definitely participating.
This is ME in 1992:

My sister is in town and she has the funniest laugh I’ve ever heard…I’m going to try and record it for everyone tonight. I’m really in need of a really good laugh.
Here’s some other things I think are funny

I’ve written about the important things Mark and I learned about marriage. I need to figure out a way to put my marriage top 10 countdown on my sidebar…
The longer I’m married, the more I value romance. I’ve been married for 5 years and I still can’t stand leaving Mark in the morning to go to work. We keep the romance alive – we go on dates, we talk sweet to each other and we laugh ALOT. He is the most affectionate person in the world. My get goosebumps if I think about him too long.
This is an addition to my top 10 things that I think are most imporant in a marriage. If you need some inspiration in the romance department I HIGHLY suggest reading this story. You’ll be hooked…I promise! I blame Brandy for getting me hooked.

I got the following comment yesterday:
Just for the heckofit I googled my name and was so suprised to find your blog. I thought my name was unusual enough that there wouldn’t be someone else with the exact same one…I guess we’re not as unique as we think!
For the record…my last name isn’t “FREE”. I wish it was, but it’s not. My name is Judith Thomas. I’m married to the amazing Mark Thomas. JudiFree is a nickname I’ve had for about 7 years (it’s my favorite nickname…it really beats “BIG BOOTY JUDI” which was my childhood nickname)
Did anyone else think my last name is Free?? What’s your nickname??
Today is a milestone for me.
Today, I realize that blogging for only a couple of months has already helped me develop character, determination, endurance, faithfullness, vulnerability, dedication and trust.
This is my 100th blog post. I have never written in a journal consistenly, and I really thought that this blog would fade away after a week or two – I have always considered myself a strong starter, but I lack endurance.
Fortunately, I met a community of people who have become so influential and special in my life, that blogging is just like being a part of a really strange and disfunctional long-distance family (I love you all!)
Thanks for reading. Thanks for commenting. You make me feel loved, liked, and some of you make me laugh really hard.
Here’s to the next 100!
OK, it’s Friday…let’s be honest. Los was bragging about his technorati score on Wednesday. We all want higher technorati scores (I’m stuck at 40) - so let’s do it:
Today is an exciting day. The promotions department at Zondervan contacted me to read and review some upcoming books on my blog. This is really unexpected. I’m so excited to dig in and let you guys know about some new releases. (I even received a manuscript today…how cool is that!?!?!)
I’m so honored to even be considered to do something like this. I love reading…I love writing…so let’s get ready to rumble!
