Not Blogging Today
by Kym on March 19, 2008
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, that’s a lie. Really, it was probably only about 45 minutes altogether. But all the other stuff had to do with thinking what to pack, assembling boxes, doing things in order to avoid packing. So it all falls under the general heading of “packing”, thereby giving me the right to answer Neil’s “So, what did you do today?” question with the response, “Packing!”, so I can get the resultant smile and pat on the head.
Many of my thinking-of-things-to-do-other-than-packing thoughts today focused on the fact that the airplane tickets are booked. Dedee (I’m not linking to her as she’s on a bloggy break) is coming to visit for a whole week in mid-April! My thrill-ish-ment and ec-static-icity are beyond description! (And she’ll be just in time to help with the unpacking)
Oh, and her hubby is coming as well. Him and Neil are going to be doing eye doctor stuff while Dedee and I play.
And we’re going to go see this luverly gal (not on a bloggy break, therefore blessed with linkage), and play with the effervescent ‘Punkin’, among other fun girly things!
All these exclamation worthy things are going to get me through the tedium of the next few weeks. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to haul the kids to town so I can sign the Fire Insurance paperwork. Oi. Ah well, at least it hasn’t tried to snow today like it did yesterday.
I’ll leave off with the mental image of me pulling back the living room blinds and shaking my fist at the sky. I was wearing a brown shirt at the time if that helps any.
Cheers!

I love it when you don’t blog for the day ;) Good luck with packing… moving is the pits, but it is so wonderful to be in your own home!!

You mean doing things to avoid cleaning constitutes cleaning? Well, in that case I’ve worked my fingers to the bone cleaning today! I feel liberated with this knowledge!

If it looks like blogging and smells like blogging, isn’t it called blogging?
;-)

The voices in my head insist I blog every day. Even if it’s complete crap. Which it is, most days.

i never read the post that you didn’t write.
in fact i didn’t read it twice. okay actually *that’s* true, i didn’t read it twice.
you left me with an image i can’t get out of my head – i’m actually imagining you shaking your fist out the window about 10 feet from me.
so many things you’re not actually doing today…
and the thing i’m not doing that i should get back to = work. :)

That definitely sounds like packing to me. And I love that last image, I can see you in your brown skirt. Darn snow.
