So he’s walking around with his father’s iTouch now. And he’s talking. A lot. Unfortunately, he likes to start most of his words with “f.” This is only really a problem when he’s yelling words like “cracker” over and over again in the grocery store — which has been known to happen. “F*CKER!!! F*CKER!!!” Nice, Rascal. Nice.
So I have a cold — again. Because I don’t take care of myself: I don’t do enough yoga, I don’t eat right (despite what everyone thinks for some reason), I don’t take my vitamins, and my sniffly kids and smelly cat constantly cover me with sloppy kisses. I am so loved. Loved enough that I don’t care that I have the sniffles right now.
So I don’t care about a lot of things I used to care about. Including getting out a decent blog post every time (ahem)…. The internet can suck you in and spit you out and suck you back in again. It spit me out yesterday — and I quite like it here, all spit out. I’m in a good place. I think I’ll stay here. Covered in spit.
So I just wrote three freelance pieces. Yes, I’m freelance writing, like professional for, like, here and here. And I have very little writing steam left in me tonight because of the hours of writing, the sore eyes and sniffles. I really wasn’t going to blog this evening. But the internet spit me out yesterday, so you know….
So now that I’ve written something here, I DO have to go to bed and attempt to read this month’s book club pick (450+ pages!): The Help, by Kathryn Stockett.
So far, it’s excellent. I can easily say I’ve never read anything like it. Deep into the heart of the Mississippi, the Internet spit me out, 1962….
So I remember a while back, this blogger I used to read. She said she loathed when people started sentences with “So.” And so ever since then I’ve been a little self-conscious about my “So”s at the beginning of sentences. But, you see, I don’t care so much now because the internet spit me out. It had to, you know. I wanted it to.
Love!

I LOVED The Help! I grew up in Louisiana and connected right away with the book. And no, I don’t see myself in any of the characters…but I understand where Skeeter, Abilene & Minny are.
ummm yeah those little darlings say the cutest things.

Feel better Haley! If I was closer I would come over and make you a nice chai…yes I am becoming quite skilled at making at them at home with the chai concentrate and my microwave and a whisk.
At least I tell myself they are almost as good.

Know what’s funny? I always start sentences with “so” and “well”. Brutal. And I always go back (this is when I’m writing for work) and delete them.
But blog writing – you can start however you want
Hope you feel better.

Even though, you know, it’s not nice to be covered in spit, this made me smile.

I’m so confused Haley. I’m supposed to understand you but I’m lost! As well, I have news that you will like about animals in my province!

You’re not supposed to understand, Heather. So you understood perfectly. I was being poetic/cryptic. I like to have some fun with you guys!
