Hats

Me- Hats, wow! I enjoy wearing hats. I don't have very many except I have a ton of baseball caps. I don't really like hats for the winter. In fact, I don't like them at all. My mother always gets mad because I go out in the cold with nothing covering my ears. When I was young, I had this hat that was purple with colorful flowers all over it. It looked like something someone might wear if they were in the desert. I called it my waitress hat. It was my favorite hat I ever owned. However, it got too small, and, we gave it to Aurella. I am not even sure if she still has it. Now, my favorite hat is  a gray hat with a pink bow on the side and a sun visor in the front. My other favorite hat is a knit yellow and blue hat. I like to wear it low down on my head  and pin it with bobby hats. It is supposed to be a warm weather hat, but it doesn't keep my head very warm. I just like it. I have a matching yellow and blue hat that goes withit. I love that too. It is my favorite jacket. Hats are so awesome, but I don't wear them much.

Mom - I love hats. I hardly ever wear them, but I love them. I don't like winter hats. I don't even wear them. I just wear something that covers my ears. I love fancy hats. The kind of hats that somebody like Princess Diana would have worn. Not stupid looking hats like some of those people at William and Kate's wedding wore. Nice looking fancy hats that really complement an outfit. However, there are not many occasions for regular people like me to wear those kind of hats especially since I don't celebrate Easter. I usually see them on royalty and celebrities. I also like straw hats. I especially love straw hats with a ribbon hanging down the back. I have one of those that is my favorite hat ever. I got it on my honeymoon in Hawaii. I saw it, and I absolutely had to have it. However, I hardly ever have an opportunity to wear it. I guess maybe if I went to the beach more I would, but I don't. I would love to get more hats, lots and lots of hats. I don't though because the type of hats I like I don't have much occasion to wear so I end up just accumulating them. So I try not to buy them and stick to getting shoes instead because I love  shoes too but at least when I get I  wear them a lot. When I buy hats, I don't.

And that's our view. Tune in Friday for another topic.

Blogging

Me - We've been blogging for over a year, wow! Boy, have we had some issues! A lot of the time we fight. In fact, sometimes I threaten to quit the blog. But I always love Mom. Almost every week, we stumble over topics. We each come up with a ton before we agree on one to write about. We have a binder full of potential topics but that doesn't usually help us. Sometimes, if I'm too busy with school work or not feeling well or something, my sister does a guest post. That's when you see the note saying that the above is a guest post by Aurella. It's hard to believe Mom and I have already been blogging for over a year. Even though sometimes it's hard, over all, it's worth it, and I enjoy spending the time with Mom.

Mom - Last month, on January 20, we past a milestone, but we've just been so busy we didn't even have time to acknowledge it. We have been blogging for a year now. January 20 was our first Blogoversary. I can't believe we have been blogging for over a year. It hasn't always been easy. Melia and I don't always agree on what to blog about or even when to blog at all. Sometimes, it's just hard to find the time around schoolwork, laundry, and various other commitments. However, over all, it's been fun. We both love writing and enjoy sharing our writing with each other and with our readers. I've visited a lot of other great blogs and virtually met a lot of nice people. I've participated in a lot of blog  hops and won a lot of nice things. Hopefully, next year, we'll be able have more giveaways on our own blog. I would really like to get into participating in some giveaway hops where we give something away too.There are so many great blogs out there all the time. I can't even keep up with them all. However, since we don't really make a profit from our blog, we don't want it to cost us a lot of money either so we have to be selective about what we can participate in. This year I would like to get back to participating in regular blog hops not just giveaway blog hops. I would also like to build up our following especially because I expect it will drop off some after the change goes through and non-blogger blogs are no longer allowed to follow using Google Friends Connect. I would also like to introduce some new things from time to time and change things up at bit.  We are never going to be a blog where you can find out where the good deals are or where you can find recipes or or a book blog or anything like that. There are plenty of blogs that do those things very well. We are not trying to be those things. We just want to be a fun blog to go to.  A blog where you can join our discussion of anything and everything and maybe sometimes even find something just a little bit different and fun.

And that's our view. Tune in Monday for another topic.

Seasons

Me - Seasons, wow! I really don't like winter. Between the chilly and air and the snow it's too much of a hassle. Two things I like about winter are my birthday is in the winter and sometimes it's a pretty sight to look at snow covering the houses and treetops. Spring has great weather.  The weather is usually just right not too cold or too hot just like the porridge in The Three Bears. It's a great time to go out and play with friends and ride a bike and scooter and roller skate. It's a wonderful time for taking classes and going to the park. Also, the spring is the perfect time to change your wardrobe, after a while, I get sick of my clothes. However sometimes, spring gets too hot or too rainy. I really don't like summer. It's so hot! I do like that if it isn't too hot you can go outside and play. I love the fact that there is no school. That is pretty much the only thing I like about it though. Fall is another wonderful time to change your wardrobe. I love the pretty colors of the leaves. I don't like the fact that it is starting to get colder. I don't like having to go back to school. All the seasons have their ups and downs so I don't really have a favorite.

Mom -I don't really have a favorite season. There are good and bad things about them all. I like the winter because my birthday is in the winter. I don't like getting older but we usually go out to dinner, and we always have an ice cream cake. Snow is beautiful when it's not dirty, but it is a nuisance. I especially don't like having to drive in it. I like when the kids have snow days and we can stay home in our pajamas instead of going out in the cold. I like spring because it gets warm again and the flowers grow. I don't like it because it usually rains a lot. I like summer because we do not have to keep to a schedule as much. I like going swimming except I hate having to change into my bathing suit and everything before and change out of my bathing suit and everything after. I don't like the summer because it gets too hot. I don't like cold weather either but at least when it's cold you can bundle up, when it's hot especially when you are outside there is not much you can do. I like the fall because when the leaves turn colors it's is really pretty. Everything starts again in the fall. I also don't like the fall because I hate getting away from the laziness of the summer and getting back into the routines of the school year. I always regret that I never get as much done over the summer as I plan to. Although actually, I almost always feel like I don't get enough done as I would like to do. There is just too much to do all the time in the winter, spring, summer and fall.
