Happy Halloween!!!

Well, I'm totally freaked. Today I had my chin hair zapped off. HOLY MOLY! That hurt like a son of a gun. I'm sick of feeling like a billy goat though. It's like one turns 30 and hair starts growing in wierdo places.

Then, when I got home, someone from Time called me about my rant on this http://home.houston.rr.com/jesicatrapp/articles.htm

Actually, my rant on Fred Head was a big push for me to start this blog. Some days I just want to yak my head off and I thought I was going to blow a gasket when I read his comments about writing romance.

Anyhow... daily life:

You know what I hate? dusting. I honestly thought that laundry was at the top of my list of things I disliked. But no. Dusting is definitely the winner. Those duster things make my kid and husband sneeze. So I bought a pack of Pledge wipes for the furniture.

WELL... turns out, we've got about a billion wooden surfaces in this house. I think the worst part about dusting is that the house doesn't really look much better when you are done. Oh, sure... YOU know you've done something. But it's completely invisible to everyone else.

Anyhow:
Yesterday: Restart airfilter machine thingy.
Weekend: Search for a replacement for the Kirbysaurus. That thing is more than a vacuum cleaner... it's a full body workout.
Monday: Get airducts cleaned.

Next time I dust, I'm taking before and after photos just to prove I've done something.

I just wrote a post then accidentally deleated it. Grrr. I guess I haven't figured out this blog thing yet. I've got to figure out how to set up a profile and stuff.

Yesterday as a pain. Today wasn't shaping up much better until I came upon a BRILLIANT plan. My kid daudles sometimes in the morning. Moves like a slug. Stares at his breakfast instead of eating it. Anyone else have daudlers? It's enough to make a parent want to snatch themselves bald sometimes.

So... he missed the bus.

This is usually a point of extreme unhappiness in our house. (Gotta figure out how to put in those smilies too.)

But today I thought... hmmmmmmmmm... I was planning to put away laundry and clean the bathroom and NOW I have HELP! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

So... we got those chores done in record time and still made it to school on time. The bus comes much earlier than you have to leave if you are a car rider.

So, now those chores are done so I can walk the dog and then settle into writing.

I have a blog! I've been thinking of starting one for a while, but couldn't figure out what to put in it. The way I see it, the most interesting blogs are the controversial ones, but *shudder* I'm not really interested in being a beacon of controversy. A lot of writers have blogs about writing... so I can't think of much there that hasn't already been said.

Plus I can't spell. Totally suck at it. I'm half dyslexic and the doctor tells me I have ADD... oh, look there's a chicken...so sometimes I can't focus very well. In other words: I've been afraid that I'll just look like an idiot.

Whatever. I'm not here to defend my intellect. I'm just here to be me. The naked me.

I've had an online journal for a while in another forum. But it's about a specific topic--not that I don't blather on about stuff. But also... PEOPLE CAN'T MAKE COMMENTS. And I kinda like that fact. So, shut up! Don't leave a comment. It's my darn blog. Go away.

Oh, wait.... I was just kidding.

Really.

Please leave comments. Unless they aren't nice. I don't like people who aren't nice.

Anyhow... welcome to my yik-yak. This is not a blog about writing or publishing. This is just me and life and all the nutty stuff that happens. It's boring. I'm going to be bad at updating it. Get over it.

How's that for a nice defensive opening. LOL!
