The blog is suppose to inspire me to write...even when I just don't feel like it. Well, just as the blog states, there were days when I couldn't be dragged to the computer (while pregnant). Now I'm back with my ole' friend, the laptop, and we spend a lot time together. But sometimes the blog is ignored as I'm so busy writing stories, researching publishing companies, and reading news-blogs-and emails. So what do I blog about? Do I blog about our lives, about how Mari Carmen is on a cross country trip to California...and how tomorrow is her last day there and then she will be flying back. I should have, shouldn't I? Or how John is very tired lately? Or maybe that I've been typing with one hand for the most part and I truly can't even see the keyboard half the time. Yeah, this is what I was suppose to do...keep an account of what is going on in our lives so I could skip the extra step of sending every person I know an email about our EXCITING life (which it is, really, if you redefine "exciting"...I actually like to call our lives, "humorous"). I think it would be important for everyone in the world to know that I have the "clingy baby" corner on the market. I do alot with just one hand. At first it was a little frustrating...now it's quite challenging. Today I sucessfully emptied the ice cube trays, refilled them, made coffee, transferred vaseline from one container to another, and got dressed with just one hand! I think that Little John is giving me an opportunity to see what it feels like to be one handed...a gift that I can utilize to write about in a children's story. I mean, I truly take Mrs. Rush's advice to heart.
"Write about what you know." She said. She happened to be the librarian at my high school (for all of you who didn't know that important fact) and a good friend that I have lost. No, she's not dead. She's just not working at Roosevelt Roads High School anymore. Oh well. Things change.
And so does my writings. At one time I was truly having to write to a point. Now I can just cruise down the river and go in any direction I want...although, I guess...that's not the best analogy since rivers really only go in one direction-down stream.
two questions:
WHY would Vaseline need to be transferred from one vessel to another? (Don't answer that--I really don't think I want to know.)
WHERE are the PICS OF THIS BABY??? Please post some already so I don't go insane!!
And thanks for forwarding DGT's blog URL to me. FUN STUFF!
