    Life Stuff

    Last week someone from my derby league demanded to know when I was going to blog again.

    "I don't know," I snarked, "there has been this thing taking up all of my time. I THINK IT'S CALLED ROLLER DERBY."

    Seriously, derby does take up a lot of time. 

    But, mostly, I haven't blogged because I'm just not doing anything. I am weeding my garden. I am working industriously to build a patio out of the part of my yard that has been an unused dog run for 6 years. 

    (By "working industriously", I mean "hiring the bobcat operator and picking out bricks".)

    (I am also "working industriously" to re-finish my basement, and that "working industriously" means hiring the concrete contractor but also taking a week off of work to frame and drywall. Whee.)

    I am going to 4-year-olds' birthday parties and playdates. I am playing in the sprinkler. I am going to meetings, going for runs, registering my child for kindergarten, hanging out with friends, making mojitos. I am doing things, I guess, but just Life Stuff. 

    Regular old Contented Life Stuff. It's pretty boring unless you're me, and then it's pretty sweet.

    Yay for good ole life stuff. Nothing wrong with that. Sounds kind of nice actually...

    Funny. I have made an entire blog out of boring life stuff. Essentially, a blog about nothing. Kind of like Seinfeld, but no where near as profitable.

    sounds pretty sweet - enjoy

    I think all of those things sound like the PERFECT things to be doing. I've come to realize that blogging will ebb and flow. Sometimes you've got to just spend the time LIVING.

    That is pretty much what I'm doing also which is why I haven't blogged in a week.

    Kindergarten?! When did that happen! You know, the things you do that you deem too damned boring to blog about are the very things I do blog about. Which is sad.

    I could totally get behind that sprinkler part. Especially if you combined the sprinkler part with the mojito part. In fact, you just planned my Friday for me.

    Mmmm, mojitos...

    I, for one, love hearing about your boring old life stuff. =)

    I've been meaning to stop by and say hi here, as you are rarely on The Twitter. So, hellloooo,
