Should be can Shove it.

What I should be doing -
taking a shower to clean the chlorine from swim lessons off of me
cleaning the kitchen - putting the dirty dishes in the dishwasher, etc
washing the wet swim clothes, towels from swim lessons
folding the clean laundry that's surrounding me right now & then, of course, putting it away
kicking my dog off of the bed since he's technically not allowed on it
packing for our mini- vaca tomorrow
cleaning the bath toys, because b decided poo'ing in the tub would be more fun than not
eating something, since b ate my dinner tonight (at least he wanted to eat, right?)
working on interview questions for my next assignment
blogging about something important- world peace perhaps?

What I am doing-
lying (laying? i never know) on my bed, snuggled next to my sleeping dog, reeking of chlorine while the clean laundry stares me down (there's eyes in there somewhere, i just know it) & the dirty dishes taunt me from all the way downstairs. & recording it here, on this blog, for posterity.

What ... a winner.

28 Days of Blogging

Lately I've been thinking about how to get into my writing a little bit more. I really do enjoy writing, but most of it takes place with pen & paper. There's definitely something about the crispy white pages of a new notebook & the smooth ink of a great pen. There's also definitely something about a full notebook, scribbled on pages, filled with a rainbow of colored pens ... something just feels right about it. But, as someone who has 3 blogs & is a contributor to a 4th, I realize that pen & paper is just not the wave of the future. Because of this, I'm setting a goal for myself ... & for you, if you'd like to join in.

introducing ... 28 Days of Blogging!

This is perfect timing, since February is the shortest month of the year. I'm setting the goal to blog every single day of the next month, even if it's just a simple sentence or two... or even a picture. As long as I'm spending a few moments minimum on my own blog, I'll be proud.

Well, what do you think? Who's in? Let me know!
