Bloggy Randomness

I am in constant fear that I am plagarizing every time I write an entry. If I get a really great idea, I always think that I have subconsciously stolen it from someone. Many times I get a "jumping off" point from someone's blog where they said something that made me think about a particular topic, and if it is really close, I link. But I am usually too lazy to go back and check, so sorry if you've ever read my blog and thought, that bitch stole my concept!

Hubba-hubba and I have discussed writing a travel blog about SoCal and things to do with kids, but we are just too wussy.

I almost always write my blog at night after Mr. Personality is in bed. Almost always when I am laying in my own bed, I think of a wonderful way I could have worded a sentence that is 100 times better than the one I published. I can count on my hand the number of times I have actually gone back to change it. There's that lazy thing again...

I try not to post too much about politics because invariably, I just get mad. And then that makes other people mad, and it usually just isn't worth it for me. But have no doubts that I am extremely political and am constantly discussing politics with one person or another.

Sometimes I wish I could be one of those wise blog writers. You know, the ones where you leave their blog enlightened and yet contemplative. So far my grandest topic has been short vs. long hair, so I think I've got a ways to go.

I have switched to SiteMeter, and can I just say that I have become heartily obsessed with the World Map feature? Yes, I know whoever it was from Paraguay certainly came to my site by accident, but it still looks cool.

I am hoping to have some suprises for this blog come New Years. But it involves some work and my parents finding and scanning a particular photo for me, so don't hold your breath. For too long, anyway. If you start to feel faint, definitely breathe out. And back in again, of course.

As if the long vs. short hair thing isn't paramount! Some of us just have to address the really pressing issues. I, for one, admire that about you.

I fear the plagerizing thing too. And I have a litter of unpublished posts because someone went there first...

And I always end up going back in seconds after I publish. There is something about the blogger interface that doesn't agree with my editing abilities, so as soon as I see it "for real" I find 20 billion edits and changes.

I love your blog. Political and wise are lovely, real is better.

Long vs. short hair is the post that sucked me in after I found you via the "next blog" button. I have stayed ever since!

Yeah, I hear your pain - I always think of better ways of saying something AFTER I've gone to bed too. But the computer is all the way downstairs - way too far away.

A hard thing for me is to say it well when I think I really have something to say, which doesn't seem to be often. Sometimes, those seemingly good ideas get all fuzzied-up inside me and don't spit out very well.

Onward

The end of the school year, finally! Did I tell you that my son went to public school this past year? Did I tell you that my daughter was in a regular Kinder classroom this year? Although it was nice to have them both in school, there were definitely things I was not so hip on, such as having to wake up at 5:20 every morning just to get everyone out the door on time.  And then after all the driving and dropping off, going to work. Such fun! I had forgotten the dreariness of having to complete mounds and mounds of homework (even though new research has shown that homework, especially for Kinder, is for shit).  Of constant deadlines and fundraisers and things I am supposed to volunteer for. My daughter had a good year, but was definitely not without its bumps. Her teacher, an older, highly experienced, practical woman with a Master's in Education, kept referring to my daughter as an "inclusion student."  It wasn't her name or just "student" but was

Fallen Between the Cracks

Why did I stop writing here? With the grace of 20/20 hindsight, there were a LOT of reasons. My daughter's journey would get tougher and tougher, and as I added work into the mix of raising two kids, it was one more thing I just didn't have time for. And well, that work thing.  It sure does suck a lot of free time away, doesn't it?  Even though I am still only part time. I will be honest, as much as I adored all the people on the blogosphere that were kind enough to grace me with their wit and time, I just could not keep up with the constant commenting that I felt was only fair to these wonderful people.   So instead, what did I do? I did what any self respecting coward would do. I ghosted, of course. Not that I think my absence was enough to cause people to be distressed, but I feel badly if anyone felt slighted. Even as I write this, I feel like I am being waaaay too self important.  Isn't that the whole point of a blog, though?  Nobody writes a blog that doesn't

Apples and Oranges

Perhaps some of you may have noticed, but the real estate market is beginning a tumble in prices that benefit us, prospective buyers. And we're going to wait. That is cold, cold comfort to those such as J and Py , who are attempting to sell their place as we speak. But, we're not going to wait too much longer, if that makes them feel any better. There is no sense trying to time the bottom of the market, and we have been putting off moving, oh, since Mr. P was born because of the huge runup in prices. So huge that at one point, we could barely afford to buy our own place from ourselves. We should be ok even if we sell at a lower price than we could have gotten say, two years ago. We have, however, a dilemma. We have narrowed our choices down to two cities. And we are stuck there. We just can't figure out which city is better, and they are oh-so-different. Let me give you a rundown. City 1 Older, smaller houses (in our price range) Larger lots Beach city Infrastructure
