To blog it or not to blog it…

To blog it or not to blog it…

I bet you thought I was going to start off with “that is the question!” HA, I’m not as predictable as you thought I was!!! (I had to reallllly resist doing it) Anyway…

So lately I have been a slacker in my bloggitude. It could be assumed that I was off on an extravagant vacation, working infinite hours or that I lost power. Alas, none of those would be the truth. In fact, I have been at home, unemployed, spending alot of time on Facebook….but who doesn’t. The truth of the matter is that all of a sudden I am extremely picky on my entries. I think of a good handful of entries every day but when I go to write type them I just don’t want to write something that will waste your time. Yes…for those fleeting seconds when I have an empty blog post open with the cursor blinking in a very mocking fashion I actually think that I am enhancing your day with my verbiage. Well, it’s either that or I have been to ADD lately to….SQUIRREL!

Uh right where was I. So I vow to you, my loyal reader (thanks Mr. guest), that I will no longer let my blogging ego be puffed up when the views go above 7 and that no matter how inane my thinking, I shall persevere and blog on.

(I would love to say that it’s the wine talking, but I can’t say that for another 20 minutes) ; )

These things can NOT be rushed

These things can NOT be rushed

It seems like everybody, their mother and their veterinarian have a blog so it’s no surprise to me that the “not-blogging yet” set are ADD when it comes to new postings.  “When’s the next one?” or “You haven’t posted in 13 hours and 57 minutes, is everything OK!?” are questions us bloggers hear regularly.  We are not machines people!!  We need inspiration, a muse if you will, to write a fulfilling post.  If I wanted to post every 15 minutes I would just copy and paste all of the spam comments I receive (which would  make this a celebrity porn site).  But I respect you and trust, instead of trust let’s go with hopeful, that your minds are not in the gutter 23 hours out of the day.  So please, be gentle with us, get us a nice cold drink maybe a foot massage and know that we are working hard, albeit slowly, to get you some quality material.  Personally, I’ll take a Diet Pepsi or iced coffee light with two equal…..k thanks

Blogging=good….Blogging underwater=awesome

Blogging=good….Blogging underwater=awesome

Now for you tech nerds out there I will first clear the air by saying I have not found some magic way to use my Macbook underwater.  If I had, I would be a millionairess and have some peon writing this blog for me.  Last time I checked though I am still a hundredairess with that number going down rather than up.

This evening I was taking a soak in the hot tub (which I am taking a break from because it was too hot) when I had a bunch of good ideas for blog entries.  If you ask me to recount them, you’re out of luck.  I forgot them all because I had no way to record them.  Pen and paper would just become a soggy pile of pulp.  I don’t think there is any app in iTunes that will waterproof my iPhone…yet.  And then I would electricute myself if I tried typing in the spa.  So this got me to thinking….we can not call ourselves a mobile society if we in fact are not truly mobile.  Sure I can climb Everest and probably get a signal to order a pizza or upload pictures from my laptop of a monkey sitting next to me when I’m on a deserted island.  But what I can NOT do is blog while soaking.  Therefore, hence, summarily I am not truly mobile.

Things have come a long way for the mobility of bloggers.  First there was Doogie Houser and his ginormous desktop, then there was Carrie typing away on her bed….now what. There is no third step “Amanda blogging from her hot tub.”  I mean seriously folks, something needs to be done to solve this atrocity.  How can a girl keep her loyal readers entertained if she has no way to share her thoughts while in 103 degree water? It’s just not right I tell you, just not right!!!

1 month down

1 month down

Trust me, I am not one of those girls who celebrates every little milestone.   I must say though, I’m kinda sorta proud that in this ADHD society I actually kept something going for more than 5 minutes. Not only that but it seems I have kept your attention all of this time. To me, that’s huge.

When I went into this I thought that anything I wrote would be grounds to have me committed.  Good news, no strait jacket in sight! It gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling that all of you are just as “off” as I am. 

My counter says I have 480 hits.  I’m pretty sure that 1/3 of that is from my sister who waits with bated breath for a new post.  Now if I was completely insane and delusional I would be pissed off (which is always better than being pissed on, by the way) that I have been visited ONLY 480 times, but for a poor orphaned, quadriplegic, that types with a pencil in her mouth and has 12 foster kids to feed, I’m thinking I’m not doing too bad!  By the way, if you believed any of the last half of the last sentence, you probably also believe “gullible” isn’t in the dictionary and Tom Cruise is human. 

But I digress, thank you for taking 10 seconds out of your busy schedule of reading comics, sending e-mails and texting, (y’all know who you are) to read my random, twisted, sarcastic observations of the world around me. 

And please rest assured that next month on the 22nd, I will not have a “Hey, look what I did! How awesome am I?” post.  But feel free to comment on my extreme level of awesomeness at any point, I don’t mind!
