Temporary? Insanity

The Egomaniacal Ramblings of a Mildly Deranged Housewife.

I haven’t managed to post anything of much import lately. My writing has consisted of whingeing and whining, and pictures in place of meaningful communication.
I see no reason for this to change anytime soon (I’m in the process of moving, after all), so I’m taking you on a tour of the new house. Unfortunately my camera batteries died after just ten minutes, so I only have a small sampling of the main floor to delight you with for[...]

Sometime in October I got the giggles from reading the label on a bottle of water I found in our hotel room. Though I made no derogatory comments about the product (it tasted fine, after all, kind of like…water), the owner of the bottled water company took the time to leave me a comment on the post.
Normally I only direct my mildly amused mockery at myself, but really, I can’t help myself this time.
Here is what I posted:
Hexagons Rock

So I’m thinking three days a week. Weekends off. And special arrangements to be made for holidays, birthdays, and nervous breakdowns. Also, special dispensation to be not funny, not interesting, and not entertaining whenever I so chose. Bloglines list cut down to half its former size (guilt, of course, doubled – but hopefully that will resolve itself in time).
Admittedly, this wasn’t much of a break. I fluttered around the edges, skimmed through various friends’ posts[...]

While waiting for regular blogging to resume, please enjoy some insanely cute pictures of our girls.

Vague ideas are taking shape. Breathing is deeper. I feel functional and hopeful.
And apparently inclined to be rather melodramatic. Ah well. Why fight it?
Honestly, I feel ensnared by this hulk of a thing sitting in front of me. I keep finding excuses to come back to it. Pictures to edit and organize. Templates to create. Music to find and playlists to form.
A good friend left a comment that struck me rather forcibly.[...]

A few days off from blogging just wasn’t enough, it would seem. I find myself sitting in front of the computer monitor’s flickering light, long past the time when I’ve read all I need to read, and written all I need to write. I don’t want to face the real world, where I fear I have no value…no meaning…no worth.
I don’t like myself much when I’m away from this keyboard. I’m not half so witty. I[...]

Just to prove that I can. That I don’t have to blog on a daily basis. That, in fact…an entire day can go by without my feeling the urge to share some odd thought or tidbit with you.
Oh.
Darn.
I messed that up royally didn’t I? Wait…where’d that expression come from? Royally? As in only some schmuck with a crown could’ve messed it up better than that? Hmmm…ponder-worthy, that.
I spent my day packing today. Okay,[...]

The lovely David McMahon, poses a weekly question on his blog, asking interested readers to post their answers in the form of a blog post. I’m always meaning to and never seem to remember in time, and I saw one gal had the same problem and had the brilliant idea of turning David’s questions into a meme.
So I stole the idea. Hee hee.

I haven’t got much of it. No, seriously. This isn’t me saying something negative about myself in the hopes everyone will tell me how wonderful I am. It’s a simple fact.
The great thing about being a person, is the flexibility of facts. What is one day a fact about a person, can the next day be something else entirely. I am not bound by my current characteristics, qualities, weaknesses, etc…
I worked really, really hard to[...]

For reasons of physical and mental well being, I’m taking a wee break from the computer. Things have gone through hectic and out the other side to a place I like to call Pandemonium. Packing needs to be done. There are mountains of laundry. Sticky spots on the floor. You know. That sort of thing.
I broke down and sobbed today. Notice I didn’t say cried. I said sobbed. Yes. [...]
