Blogging Avoidance

A Thousand Stories To Tell

Unfortunately for my few readers, I have a thousand and one excuses.

Title Block

Finally feel like writing something, but I can’t think of title…

We drove the Miata to work on Thursday because we *could* ride home with the top down. But we didn’t drive it today even though it was warmer than yesterday. We rode the tandem.

I found a fool proof method on how to get your wife to agree to let you buy a new computer: While she is in the middle of shuffling the contents around in the kitchen cabinets (for who knows what reason other than to confuse me) just walk in and ask if you can spend $425. Well, that and the fact that I have been moaning about it’s slowness for a couple years (it was purchased just shy of 9 years ago.)

Like the plethora of fragrance commercials that show up on TV before Christmas, you can tell it is January because of all the ads for diet plans and gym memberships.

Which leads us to: “A gym is not designed to make you feel instantly better about yourself. If a gym wanted to make you feel instantly better about yourself, it would be a bar.” which is Rule #1 for Conquering the Gym, go read the other 26.

I Should Be Blogging Here

Santa Claus

But instead I’m avoiding it. I also should be filling in the survey from Hyundai about our recent Purple Whale service, but I’m avoiding that too. Instead I’m procrastinating.

Oh, and, happy birthday Jennifer Morrison. No, not the one that is on the show Once Upon A Time, but the daughter of Donna’s older brother. Coincidentally, she is an actress too, she just isn’t starring in her own TV show. Yet.

Plugging Away

I would like to tell you the reason that I did not post anything yesterday was because it was National Day of Unplugging 2011, but it wasn’t, it was pure unadulterated BA. And if it wasn’t for me stumbling on news of this event I probably wouldn’t have written anything tonight either.

But now that I’m here I will update you on my day. Breakfast at the same old place, clothes shopping for the niece and nephew in WA at the Kidsignment Sale, followed by book shopping for the wife and I at the American Association of University Women Books ‘N’ Things Fair. We stopped at home to off-load our booty and then finished our outdoor activities with the weekly grocery shopping at Kroger after brief stops at Rite Aid & Home Depot.

The afternoon and evening were spent watching TV and eating.

Version 3.1

I’ve updated to WordPress 3.1 and I couldn’t be more excited.* Down below is my new desktop wallpaper and has nothing whatsoever to do with WordPress, it is just a pretty picture and it is helping me fill up space. Clicking on the picture should net you a full 1920×1080 version if you want to use it too.

*here would have been another place for the use of that sarcasm font…
