Is This The End?

I think I’m in a blogging funk. I sit here with my fingers on the keys and…nothing - in fact, I’m just typing right now because I got bored with just seeing my fingers sitting on the keys.

I know there are worse things…I mean, if I never blogged again, I wouldn’t die…I don’t think.

Oh well, I’m sure there are more productive ways I could spend my time, anyway. I mean, I could…

clean my house. do laundry. wow my fourth grader with how little I really know about Math. contemplate the passage of time - since this summer is my 20th high-school reunion. read a book. read the paper. follow the elections with the passion of my 20’s. walk…any of our dogs - except Leah cuz she wheezes (probably because I haven’t walked her often enough…and she likes those beef patty things added to her food) - and except Sugar Boy because he would just look at me like “Walking!…as if! - and except Axel because I’d probably have to learn German before he would obey me,…where was I? - Oh yeah. gut another one of our bathrooms…any of them. organize my closet. organize any thing in this house. sew new curtains for my bedroom. sew. clean out the boys closet…again. sort the boy’s Legos by size and color and place them in nicely labeled bins…

Okay, so now not only am I in a funk with my blogging - now I realize how much I have to do!!! I’m tired just thinking about it. That brings me to one more: sleep more than 5 hours at a time!

Wow! I better get going. I’ve got a lot to do until I think of something to blog about.

Happy Wednesday!

Peace out.

Writer’s Block

So, I said I would blog later…and now it’s later - and I’m waiting for a pot of water to boil…so….

…as you may have guessed, no brilliance has come to me over the last several hours…so….

I have, though, had some questions.

For instance:

*How come Byron can stop eating junk for 4 days and lose 13 pounds…literally! And I can be sick, with no appetite - eating like a bird for two weeks…and nothing! NOTHING!?

*How come I can receive a “Victoria’s Secret” catalog and have one kind of “angst”, and in the same day receive a “White House/Black Market” catalog and feel a different “angst” in a whole new direction…(if you’re a woman, and you’ve received either one…you understand - maybe…or maybe it’s just me)?

*How come my newly seven year old has sense enough to know that “it’s really hard having THREE dogs!”…and yet it never occurred to the adult decision-makers in this household…until maybe between 2:30 and 4:30 A.M. the last two nights!?

*How come, as a society, we have sense enough to know that a man should only have one wife, and yet Brett Michaels can have dozens of young women move into his mansion, spend “quality time” with him, engage in “contests” to prove their worthiness to get the privilege of maybe being with him for…oh, say…a month! (Meanwhile it’s all on film and in it’s second season as classic American television!)?

*How come, the minute I start feeling pretty proud of my rantings about how the media, and our culture in general, objectifies women and makes them into possession-like caricatures of who they were really meant to be, I realize - if I’m honest - that I like “Real Housewives of Orange County” better than the new “Real Housewives of New York” because…the Orange County wives are more flamboyant and…attractive….?

*Which leads me back to all those “angsts” that were aforementioned in question number deux…I really do this to myself, don’t I? And, society, the media, Hollywood…etc. are just all-too-eager to aid me in my compulsory analysis.

P.S.: BTW, Did I mention that I use big words when I get tired and/or on a proverbial “soap box”?

Oh well…

I still have nothing to blog about, so…

…peace out for now.

What to blog…what to blog?

Happy Wednesday!

When you’re cooped up, you run out of things to write about.

I think about so many things…so I have plenty of thoughts, but thoughts that I want to write down - not so much.

I could spend days just thinking…Sometimes Byron will ask what I’m thinking about - and after I take him on the wild goose chase of my thought process, (leading from why God made roaches to a lengthy contemplation of the color blue), he decides that he doesn’t want to think as hard as he has to to keep up with ONE of my trains of thought…

But, back to my original question: What to blog…what to blog?

I’m wearing one of my “newly washed” sweaters today (I know it’s not that cold outside, but my internal thermometer is all out of wack…so.) - the sleeves used to come down over my hands…But, now it’s nice and clean…and also a 3/4 sleeved sweater! What the howdie-doodie, spring will be here before long, so I should just let Byron wash this sweater again, then I’ll have a short-sleeved one! (Have no idea where “what the howdie-doodie” came from…but, oh well!). I’m really not bitter - at least it’s giving me something to blog about.

Staff meeting is going on right now. I usually participate, but I feel…not great - so I made an appearance, put in my two-cents, and exited. The leadership really is awesome at C3 - I’m privileged to get to work with all of them. I wish I had more energy…maybe tomorrow.

So, I think that’s all I have for now. I don’t think this blog could be any more random or pointless…

…I think I’ll spend a while considering the way the waves sound…or the color purple - no, wait - turquoise! Turquoise is a funny word - especially when you say it all hoity-toity like “tor-kwas” - Turquoise, turquoise, turquoise…oh great, now it has no meaning…

Peace out for now! :-)
