Inside My Head

I noticed that my crochet stuff was all a mess on the floor, so I decided I would straighten it up. I started straightening and noticed the flowers I had crocheted last night. I stopped straightening and started to match buttons to my flowers to see what looked good. Couldn't pick a button, but decided that I needed a hat pattern to crochet that the flowers would look good on, so I went to the Internet. Before looking for patterns I checked my email and Facebook. I figured I would check on the hat pattern later. I pick up some of the trash that I gathered from my crochet area and went to throw it away. I saw that a pan on the stove needed washed so I put down the trash (on the counter) and took the pan to the sink. I saw that the counter was dirty so I started washing it and decided that there is too much stuff sitting around so I started to put things in cupboards and I noticed that there are finger prints all over the cupboard doors. I proceed to wipe them down. I look up and see bugs in the light fixture and I decide I am going to clean out the bugs. My mind suddenly switches to the fact that I could paint the cupboards. Maybe not completely, but I could put designs on them. Maybe even paint one door with chalk board paint. I go back to organizing and I find a cookbook. I spend probably 5 minutes looking up recipes. I wipe off the bookshelf and take the talking parrot that normally sits on top and I take it outside to the deck. I play with it for awhile. Then I just sit and look out at the water. I remember I was cleaning. I start to vacuum. I get the carpets halfway done when I think of an idea for my blog. I decide that instead of forgetting it I would type it right then.

After spending approximately one hour on the computer blogging about Windows 7 and googling whether or not I was the only one that thought that about Microsoft commercials (FYI I'm not the only one) and looking up everything that popped into my head...... I never finished cleaning up my crochet, never got a hat pattern, forgot to put the trash in the trash can and never even attempted to clean the bugs from the light. The cupboards are half clean as is the floor and the pan is still in the sink. Over the coarse of two hours I never really accomplished anything except write my blog.

Can you spell ADHD.

The Theme Is.....Random

I think my Internet connection works or doesn't work based on the weather. I know it sound weird, but yesterday it was really really windy and the connection was slow and sometimes wouldn't even connect. The weather today is calm and it works like normal. It's a total wireless connection so maybe there is some truth to that. I'm going to take advantage of it while I can.

As I participate in my everyday life, things come up and I think: "ooh I'm going to have to blog about that". I forget a lot of stories by the time I'm sitting in front of my computer ready to type. My blogging life has now seeped into my dreams. I was dreaming last night, and in my dream I remember saying that I needed to blog about the events that had just happened. True to real life I don't remember what I was dreaming about that I needed to blog about.

Blogging has become a little more difficult for me. I feel a responsibility to produce interesting,funny, emotional and poignant blogs to entertain my three readers. Problem is, my life is not always interesting and funny or poignant. Sometimes I start writing something and quit halfway through because it doesn't seem like something anyone would want to read.

I blog under the assumption that I should have a blog theme. Entries that pertain to a certain subject. I think that's is what makes it difficult. In my mind I try to put things in a well defined box, but my blog is not about one thing. It's totally random. Like me! Light bulb moment.....That is my theme: random.

I feel so much better. I have a theme. My first blog two years ago addressed the question of a theme, now two years later it is finally defined. This may be confusing to some people but in my mind it makes total sense. I have continued direction for my blog. I was running out of energy and now I have renewed energy.

In a nut shell; you never know what you are going to get. It may be funny or it may be totally stupid. It may be an entire page, or it may be one sentence.

So you see, writing this blog now makes it ok for me to write something completely lame and it won't matter because now you know what you are getting in to, and you are reading of your own free will.

You have been warned.
