Boo! Did I scare you?

Probably not because I think maybe at its peak, this blog got about 9 hits on a post!  Just feeling out writing here again, and how it might fit into a way-too-busy-already sort of life.  It feels kind of wrong to spend time doing this when I should be calling my mom, washing some clothes, finishing my project for work, playing with my children, or going to the potty for heaven's sake, but it also feels like I have a lot I'd like to say.


You know important things like I just bought shockingly pink lipstick.  And even more important things like I am excited to start watching my favorite TV  smut with my husband - our horrid reality show starts its new season tonight!


And actually important things like what it means to be a mom & work part of the time.  And my newly claimed aversion to hospitality.   And cleaning out my stuff & all the funny feelings that happen.


And interesting stuff - like lists of neat-o books I've discovered at the public library.  And pretty things we see and do and make.


Some things intimidate me about this space.  I'm not sure I  want to be so out there.  I might want a pen name.  (Some days I wish for invisibility,  &  on others I embrace  public space.)  And, I can't take pictures to save my life, and I like visually appealing spaces.


But some things draw me in.  Like the memory of one of my English teachers encouraging me to write something every day.  The allure of collecting memories & inspirations in one spot.


So we will see.  Bets on if I write here again anytime soon?  Anyone?
