This is not me writing my blog. This is me doing my second favorite thing, posing for a silly photo op.
Last week the 12 year old busted
me.
“Mom, you need to do another blog
post,” she told me, while also rattling off a list of other necessary tasks.
Things like buy her non-weird leggings at Target, proofread her essay for
Language Arts and make a dozen burritos for the Mexican fiesta in Spanish class
the next day.
Huh.
My mind spun. First, you know how
I feel about any kind of cooking, much less cooking an unfamiliar dish for a
demanding audience (Spanish speaking middle schoolers!)
Also, I wasn’t aware the 12 year
old regularly reads my blog. Or that she would like it enough to agitate for a
new post.
It turns out the 12 year old does
read it. But only because she doesn’t have Instagram or Facebook, which means
there’s nothing else to read on her phone at school.
I had to share the bad news with
her: There will be no new blog posts.
Guru Girl Guide To Greatness has
run its course. I am still just as full of advice and embarrassing personal
stories. But you will have to have lunch with me to hear them!
The fact is social media has
always made me nervous. I feel this way now more than ever since we have a 12
year old who finds startling and inappropriate things on it, despite not having
any social media accounts. I just don’t want her to find startling and inappropriate
things on it, about her, written by her own mother!
Thus, I am on to new creative
endeavors. And yes, by this I mean figuring out how to make a dozen burritos
with a special Spanish flair.
On deadline.
Thanks for reading, guru girls and
guys! I’ve had a blast writing Guru Girl and doing the “market research” (okay,
shopping) to make it the best it could be!
Have a great week!
