Ways that I’ve failed as a blogger today:

Didn’t record cooking with kids

Didn’t write that sponsored post

Didn’t work on the site

And didn’t reply to any mail or messages from anyone. 

Who knew being lazy was going to hit so hard today.

[allenxnelson]

There’s always tomorrow. 

[basbeaumont-blog]

For the first time in forever I got to sleep so long. I had all the sleep guys.

[allenxnelson]

Well that sounds like fun.

[brooksjankoviak-blog-blog-deact]

I know right! I’m feeling amazing now that I’m with Benji.

[allenxnelson]

I bet. How’re you and your brother doing?

[brooksjankoviak-blog-blog-deact]

Really? I didn’t know that.

[allenxnelson]

I’m pretty sure I’ve met at least three not including you. 

[lexxxitorres]

Meet your brother? You’ve never met your brother before?

[allenxnelson]

It’s a little bit complicated. My parents got divorced when he was really little and I never got to see him... In detail it’s a much longer and more confusing.

[marietta-lopez]

There are many different kinds of families, but it’s family anyways. Hope your family stuff work out!

[allenxnelson]

I feel like that’s why I got into social work. No matter what kind it is a family is one of the most important things. I hope mine works out too. It’s not like i’ve been hoping for this for twenty-two years or anything.

[lexxxitorres]

Aw, that’s sweet.

[allenxnelson]

Well because of moving here I get to meet my brother, which is amazing.

[marietta-lopez]

One of the reasons why I came to New York, was to be with my siblings. Family is great.

[allenxnelson]

Yeah, for me it’s a little different, but family really is an amazing thing. It really makes of breaks a person.

[bringonthesun]

Oh! Oh no! I do have one that’s 6 years old but the twins are only hitting the four month mark so I’m introducing them to other things besides milk. I’m sorry for the confusion!

[allenxnelson]

No, the second you said applesauce I should’ve guessed. It’s no big deal. Well I mean it is... but I mean it would be if you had listened to me...

[lexmendez]

You’re the only one who sees it, if we’re being honest. My plan is just to get by for now. Dad isn’t happy with me because of me telling him I didn’t want to study law. Sales? I’m not that much of a people person.

[allenxnelson]

I’m the only one who sees it, because I’m the only person you show that side of you to, which by the way is a pain when I have to try to defend you to everyone all the time. Dad’s never happy with you, honestly I don’t see that as something new. Maybe not a people person, but you’re very persuasive. 

[bringonthesun]

But they’re also only four months so what pediatricians would consider solid food would be something that can be pureed so that the baby can eat it. That’s why applesauce is usually suggested or cereal that can be mixed with breast milk or baby formula. 

[allenxnelson]

Oh! I see. I thought they were older. 

[bringonthesun]

I like to think so too. It’s either that or applesauce.

[allenxnelson]

Applesauce isn’t really a solid food though. You want something really soft that they have to chew. Usually fruit or potatoes works.

[brooksjankoviak-blog-blog-deact]

Yep, that’s it. I also sometimes play my guitar on the street.

[allenxnelson]

There sure are a lot of bartenders in this building...

[basbeaumont-blog]

I wouldn’t really call that back together.

[allenxnelson]

I have no idea what you’re talking about. We’re back at the same location and I get to be able to be in both of their lives… Oh god, did Andy say something to you? I’m so sorry. My brother has issues controlling what comes out of his mouth sometimes.

[basbeaumont-blog]

I would have just stopped at issues.

[allenxnelson]

Im really sorry about him.
