I tried to write this blog last night. Instead I stared at the blank computer screen, wrote and erased several so-so topics, and then I gave up. Sometimes inspiration just doesn’t hit.

I took a walk yesterday with Casey, Stacey, and three dogs. When we were walking back, the light was perfect, just a half hour or so before sunset. The leaves appeared golden, the fallen leaves were crunching beneath my feet, everyone was quiet in their own appreciation of the moment. It’s one of my new favorite mental snapshots.

This morning I woke up feeling like a zombie. All I want to do is sleep. Instead I have to figure out how to eat and get to the gym and have dinner with friends tonight. All good things. Caffeine will enter the picture soon.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Speaking of caffeine, it’s just one of the words that I’ve looked up to make sure I was spelling them right in this post. Sometimes words just don’t look right, and I don’t want to look like a spelling fool. (What instantly pops in my head when I say fool? “I pity da fool!” ~Mr. T.)

I am really enjoying posting daily, but mostly enjoying meeting new people and reading new blogs through this process. Yesterday we got 114 hits on our blog (small for some, but big for us!)

I want to write a post about infertility and how much I hate it, but I want to write it thoughtfully. I have to keep working on this.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I like twitter a lot, but sometimes it seems very clique-y. Like I’m in high school again and want everyone to follow me back. It’s a weird phenomenon.

Last night we played a very fun game with our friends Julie and Justin. It was called “Things” and I highly recommend it if you’re looking for a great party game.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
We’ve decided we’re going to hold an Ugly Christmas Sweater Party! I’m hoping this will inspire me not only to reconnect with friends, but also to make sure my living room gets painted.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It’s time for lunch here, so I’m going to stop. Hopefully tomorrow will be a more cohesive blog post (yeah, I just looked up cohesive to make sure I will spelling it right).
Have a happy, Sunday!
This was my 5 minute Stream of Consciousness Sunday post. It’s five minutes of your time and a brain dump. Want to try it? Here are the rules…
- Set a timer and write for 5 minutes only.
- Write an intro to the post if you want but don’t edit the post. No proofreading or spellchecking. This is writing in the raw.
- Publish it somewhere. Anywhere. The back door to your blog if you want. But make it accessible.
- Add the Stream of Consciousness Sunday badge to your post.
- Link up your post at all.things.fadra
- Visit your fellow bloggers and show some love.
I *love* this. I feel like this sometimes; that I can't carry just one thought. I found you through BlogHer/NaBloPoMo and will subscribe.
Can't wait to see what you write next. I agree about twitter, love the sunset, and hope you have a good lunch (see?! I read it!)
I love this too! Stream of consciousness is so fun to read (and I'm impressed that 'consciousness' is not one of the words you had to look up 😉 – I would have had to!)
Following now… also from NaBloPoMo.
I feel like this most days…I'm surprised my friends can keep up with me. We'll be conversing about one topic and suddenly it will lead me to something random that has nothing to do with what we had just talked about. haha…glad to know that my Stream of Consciousness is not far from others. Well maybe mine still is, but it's nice to see someone actually put it into a blog. I might have to do the same. 🙂 Thanks for your post. I also found it via NaBloPoMo. Have a great rest of your Sunday!

Following 😉 I'm excited about hits and new followers too 😉
I actually liked the way you wrote your thoughts. I love The Twitter. It takes a while to build up but it is a blast and for me? Totally not cliquey at all. You just need to be an extreme extrovert on there!
