Yeah you!! I’m talking to you…and you.
Would you let me know you stopped by? You have an excuse this week. It’s National De-Lurking Week.
I’d especially LOVE to know who that faithful reader is that works for Delta Airlines. I really appreciate how often you stop by.
No need to say anything witty–though feel free, I love to laugh. Describe your perfect first kiss. Suggest some new music for me to check out. Whatever. Just come out of the shadows.

I’m experiencing a little bit of a broken heart. And I can’t tell Shakey about it, because well being my husband and all…he probably wouldn’t understand.
You see I have this crush. And there is nothing I can do about it. We live too far away from each other, so there is no way to do anything about it–though if we were closer you better bet there’d be some meeting up going on. We certainly share quite a bit with each other, but it just never seems to be enough. I mean how much of your soul can you really share through stolen one-way communications?
I just don’t know what to do about it anymore. Oh yeah, and have a I mentioned there is some major jealousy on my part? Though I love to hear about my crushes doing great things with others…I just can’t help but wish I was part of fun. I have to get over it. But I just don’t know what to do.
Do I break it off? Do I just stop communicating? What?! How do you mend a broken heart?
See unless
Karrie and
OTJ decide to relocate to the DC metro area how are we all going to be best friends and drink margaritas together? And now that
OTJ is all MILFed out…how’s a girl like me not to be crushin?
All you internet friends are just so fun, but I’m so jealous of those of you who get to meet up with each other. Sounds like there was a gang up in NYC who just did the get together thing and it sounds like fun.
Guess I’ll just have to go turn on the iTunes and nurse my jealousy over some good 80’s tunes. I mean how can you listen to Steve Perry utter those deep lyrics
Only so many tears you can cry
‘Til the heartache is over
And now you can say your love
Will never die
Whoooooa-oh-whoa
Whoooa-oh
Ooooooh-whoa, ooh-whooa
and not TOTALLY know that you’re not alone?

Day 31
Mood: Relaxed
So with the pressure off to blog every day I took some time this evening to play with the randomizer–a cool little tool created by Lane to assist your tour through the participants of NaBloPoMo.
While there were some blogs that just weren’t up my alley–though I’m sure they were good–I did find a few that I think I will be checking back on over time. See what you think…
The Island
Miss Allycat
Don’t Try This At Home (you have to love any family that poses for pictures in groucho glasses)
I’m going to keep going…I have no idea how long it would take to check in on every one of the participants, but I don’t have much to do this weekend other than clean my house, shop for Christmas, do some work and spend time with my family.
PS–We’ve taken to keeping a cooler on our deck always filled with drinks and ice. The cold front we’ve been expecting is moving in. You know what that means??? No more need for ice. Cold drinks all the time and no need for a cooler. I think White Trash Mom would be proud.

Day 30!!!!!
Mood: Victorious
I suffer two losses today. The end of
NaBloPoMo AND the discovery that my hairdresser upped and moved back to Chicago–damn him (not really, I LOVE him)!! While feeling the satisfaction of having accomplished posting 30 days in a row–yet wistful that I’m now losing my excuse to snuggle up with my laptop each night–I am faced with the devastation of losing the man I trusted to give me some sense of hipness. He was a great conversationalist, he shared stories about his wacky family and I always left with a hair style that was cool but required no products. Now, can you understand my grief?
The last time I saw him he gave no indication that he was moving. I feel like my boyfriend just moved out without telling me. And I had just had a conversation at my last visit that reinforced how much I loved him.
Me: Hi Tim
Me: I’m going on trip in two weeks. I need to look 10 years younger and 20 lbs lighter.
Tim: [patting his pockets] Okay, let me get my tools. [mock seriousness]
But you know what? I did feel younger when I walked out.
Tim, I’ll miss ya’.
As for NaBloPoMo, it’s been great. I know my posts haven’t been that exciting…I don’t write ahead of time. It’s all just whatever comes out when I sit down at the computer (like you couldn’t tell). But, I’ve really liked getting to know other bloggers. I think folks shared stuff they wouldn’t ordinarily because they were desperate for material. I also like the structure it gave me. I won’t mind the relief from the stress of feeling like I needed to post before midnight, but I will miss the motivation.
I do think someone needs to create a web sticker for those who completed it. I survived NaBloPoMo. I’d do it, but I wouldn’t have a clue where to begin–as you can tell from my completely non-modified Blogger template. Really, I’d love a great looking blog, but I don’t know how! So you just get my random thoughts and whatever images I can scrape up from Google images search.
I do think I’ll keep up my count of days posting in a row and the mood indicator. What do you think?
And as for today’s photo…I was looking for something about “the end” and the end of a rainbow popped into my head. But then when I saw this lovely. How perfect could it be? The end of the rainbow…no shit!

Day 20
Mood: Ready for bed
So there is some drawback to people you know in your everyday life reading your blog. There are topics I’d like to open up for discussion that I’m not sure will send the right message to those who know me. I am weighing the pros and cons of introducing these topics because I think they will provide for a lively discussion, and I’m hoping to hear other perspectives on them. But I don’t want to unnecessarily worry anyone or start any tongues wagging.
Are you a blogger? Have you felt this same dilemma? I’ve considered starting another completely anonymous blog to have a place to say whatever I wanted, but keeping up two blogs seems like a bit of an undertaking right now. Who knows.
Are there things you don’t discuss on your blog? Are there certain parts of your life that are off limits? Do you ever feel like your blog doesn’t reflect the whole of you because of this? Does that feel false? Is a blog supposed to be a place where you can say anything?
What do you think?
