I am out of things to say. This may seem funny or even impossible to some of you but it's true.
I cannot blog...I cannot come up with anything new. No new ideas of inspiration for LFM. I have completed an entire circle of magazines and now, I have nothing further to say. I keep waiting, waiting- but it is not coming back. It doesn't make for much of a magazine.
I feel that one year is likely the max of a project time frame for me. I am ready to move on.
Went there, got the t-shirt, came home. I'm done. I think it was a successful endeavor but I am ready for something new. Does that make me non-committal? Entrepreneurial? Flighty?
It doesn't feel that way. I FEEL like I tried it, succeeded, and now, what is there left to do? Let someone else do it now, I already did it.
I think it is possible that I get bored easily.
I had my teeth cleaned yesterday. Um, do yourself a favor and do NOT wait umpteen years to do this. If I had done this first I would have never gone back. They saved it until last and now I know why.
I cannot WAIT for the coffee to be done.
I get to start my whitening process now for my teeth. Be looking for my Joel Osteen Bling in the near future. Bling-Bling, Bling-Bling...Hello?
Jeff has to go to Vero today. We both are devastated and feel like this separation is hard and ridiculous. He hasn't gone in a while. We've both been enjoying church with him going to early and then us switching Kate and me going to the later. Kate stayed in nursery last week and he got to stay for both. Now he has to leave and my heart is breaking.
Coffee's done. Hooray! When I went to get my coffee all my favorite cups were washed and ready to use which is a miracle because the kitchen is a disaster.
Went to the park yesterday and it was soooooooo weird. I felt totally out of place. Someone new came up to introduce herself and I was excited. I thought her daughter was a little cutie and I had recognized her name. She said, I know you! (and I was thinking-wow! she knows me! Must be from the board) and she goes, You're that editor! My heart sank! Here I was wanting to be all homeschooly and I couldn't get away from it. I am not complaining at all, I just guess I will not ever completley be able to go back to scones and skirts. I know I brought this all on myself, please try not to be too hard on me. I just miss you guys and the old life still. I actually saw Lisa Freeman. I haven't seen her in I don't know how long.
Life seems short to me these days.
I feel like I have aged 10 years in 1 short year.
I am looking forward to lots of things in the future.
Don't underestimate your freedom.
If you are bored, you better be careful.
I watched most of AI last night. If you honestly have enough time to watch this and are enjoying it, I must feel sorry for you. We viewed a commercial for I don't even know what about these mankins and a customer comes by and rips the clothes off of one and these two black lines appear to block out her breasts and bikini area. This male manikin goes, "Sweet!" and then this other male mankin tries to cover up the ogling manikins eyes and says, "Hey, stop looking at my wife!" and the first manikin says, "I can't. Your fingers won't close." (because he is a manikin and his fingers are splayed open so the manikin can still see through, get it?) and then the naked manikin with the black lines says,"Haven't you ever seen plastic before?"
All my daughters sat through this with me and if this doesn't outrage you, I don't know what will.
I turned to Jeff and demanded, "What are you going to do about this?" to which his response was, "I'm going to get rid of cable, that's what."
Of course I was hoping for a DVR....but I guess I can't complain.
No cable may end up in more scones and skirts, right?

I sit through all of American Idol every week and love it. BUT--we always mute the commercials and read whatever read aloud we are working on. Most of the commercials are not things I want my kids to see and hear. There are always ads for scary shows and that Osbourne family show, etc. It's just a rule that if I am going to let them watch AI, they don't get to watch commercials. In a 2 hour show we can usually read a few chapters of a book. I love it because I'm always eager to finish whatever book we are on and get to the next one.
It was great having you back at the park. I hope you'll come again next Tuesday. You can be "the editor" and homeschooly-scone eating-skirt wearing--hanging out with friends at the park too. You better come back! I know your kids had fun.
I get what you mean about being bored. It was so fun and exciting to get to each new month and all that month had to celebrate. Now, you've done it once so it's less exciting.
Sorry Jeff has to leave. I know that's hard for everybody! I hope he can come back soon.
I'm with you on the commercials. There's one that is for some cell phone plan and the daughters of this dad tell all their friends that their dad is single and available and one daughter tells the dad that her friends grandmother thinks he is "scrumptious" (or something like that)and he asks...what does she look like? Sickening on soooo many levels. I've become a prude. And I'm okay with that :-).
we enjoyed seeing you at the park, the girls were thrilled! let me just say that Kate is adorable, SO sweet...i still am amazed that she remembered maggie, i mean i have no idea when the last time she even saw her was...i hope you guys come back next week
i'm having a hard time coming up with blog topics myself...i'm just pretty blank these days, so i can't imagine having to do a whole magazine...i can barely think of a column topic...
sorry jeff has to be away, i hope it's only a short while
hey there!! As for the commercial..saw it..hated it!!! ugh!!!! Have not been having the kids watch AI as its on too late! TV is not used at out house..THANK good enss..but sadly its as much because we have no time!! BUT I guess its a good side effect!!.
I miss the park....just sayin!!
My kids haven't been watching Ai either until this week we let them watch the results show. Jacob said "mom, did you know that American Idol is rated PG13?" I did not realize that. I looked up the rating and sure enough it is. Ben said he isn't surprised at all. I guess it will go back to being an adult show for after the kids are in bed. We do DVR it so I can let them watch it later without the commercials but even the banter of the judges can be really raunchy.
Hi, I just caught up on blogs! I hadn't read blogs in about a month, yikes!
I hate AI so I can't talk much about it, but yay for throwing out the cable. We are this close to doing it...
Happy house hunting
