NaBloNoMo’?
Apparently, November is NaBloPoMo AKA National Blog Posting Month. Every year, I say that I will get involved with this idea. And every year, November comes into my life and wallops me on the back of the head and I fall on the floor crying because I’m a big fat sensitive baby who takes everything personally, DAMN YOU NOVEMBER.
What if I start in the middle of November?
Could you all get involved with that?
Or would Laura posting EVERY SINGLE DAY on this website drive you to drink?
Actually, if that’s the case, HERE I COME! Cheeeeeeeeers!
Um.
I guess my biggest issue right now is material.
As in, fascinating things I could say that will keep you coming back here.
But let’s be honest.
How many people come here to read fascinating things and how many people come here to read about all those times I fell down in public?
Exactly.
So I think we’re going to be okay.
Beginning, um, now? I will post every day for the rest of November, weekends included. I’m creatively inspired to write write write! And annoy annoy annoy you! Ain’t you lucky!
Some exciting things are headed my way this month which might get in the way of my POST EVERY DAY PLAN but I promise you I will NOT LET YOU DOWN. In a week or so, I am headed upstate for a retreat with my class from the School of Practical Philosophy. I hear we will be doing a lot of “coming into the present” work: meditating, staying focused on our tasks, coming and going from stillness and possibly offering one of ourselves up as a sacrifice to be slaughtered in front of the group. SO STOKED!
I am spending another Thanksgiving holiday on the West coast with my dear cousin Tom. I am hoping it is just as sunny and wonderful as it was last year. This time around will be even specialer as my brother and sister-in-law will be out there for a wedding. (Who gets married the Wednesday before Thanksgiving? What? Are we doing that now? If you are, please don’t invite me. I’m not coming.)
And now, I am off to go brainstorm things to talk about tomorrow. Perhaps I can pull together an actual Flashback Friday post for the end of the week. (Remember those?) And when I’m lacking for material, I will just take a picture of my shoes. Fair enough? Rock on.
It’s true, Laura, reading this blog is such a chore. Why must you inflict it on us? How can I explain what reading your blog is like? Umm… Okay, I’ve got it. Reading your blog makes me feel like Indiana Jones in this clip.
Yep, that about sums it up.
I’ll bet you a taco you don’t post every day for the rest of November. That’ll keep me coming back here, Laura. The possibility of a free taco.
If you think that’s bad, I have a cousin who got married on VALENTINE’S DAY. Actually, I’m not sure which is worse. Both are kind of rude.
I bet a reception on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving is really cheap. I work with someone who was married ON Thanksgiving, like 30 years ago. He said it worked cause everyone was already traveling to be together.
I’m participating in nablopomo, but it’s been tough to post every day. I’ve done it so far though! I’ve got my 10 year reunion coming up, so that should be a fun topic.
I was in a wedding on Valentine’s Day and it was 800 miles (literally) from my house and we couldn’t afford for my husband to go too, so that kind of sucked. The man said they did it that day so he would never forget his aniv.! Pitiful, huh? Now I don’t even speak to them! I promise to read everyday if you post everyday, well….I promise to try. Is it too late to tell you bucket list items because you really made me think and I have been thinking and thinking and I have some great ones!
ha, I bet you a mint julep on my deep south front porch, so now you can have a taco and a mint julep (and mark off one of your items) : )
Jo – YOU ARE ON.
Also, VALENTINE’S DAY WEDDING? Horrible. My parents got married on St. Patrick’s Day but I don’t really think that is a day reserved for family time/extensive traveling/specific celebrations. No? Also, YES! Jo! Please tell me your bucket list items! Post them in the comments on my Mondo Beyondo list page! I’d love to read/get more ideas for myself!
My sonar chief married his wife on her birthday. He thought he was so clever, since he now only had to remember one date instead of two.
He forgot one year. He never dumped cold water on her in the shower, though, so they’re still together.
