So.
Those of you who blog know this feeling.
The blahs.
I have nothing to write about.
Oh, I'm sure I do, but I can't really think of anything. So, I procrastinate a post, putting it off till something exciting happens or I think of something brilliantly funny/sappy/weird that I feel is worthy of sharing. And nothing seems to happen. So I wait. And then, as the days slip by, I find I haven't even looked at my blog recently. Or my friends' blogs. And I feel disconnected.
I justify, I'm so busy, I don't have time to blog right now. But if I'm so busy, how come I can't think of anything to write about? Sometimes this blog feels like a vital part of me, the place where I document, express, rant and mull over my life and how it's changed in infinite ways over the last 2 years. And sometimes it's a place for me to just be weird, which, if you know me, really know me, you know that is a vital part of me as well.
And then there are other times, times like right now, when The Blog, and all other social networking, just feels like a weight around my neck. I haven't posted in days! What if I just didn't, just walked away. No, I can't do that. Even if no one else is interested in what I have to say, I still need to be able to say it. And I want to keep these memories that I document so I can go back and sift through them when G is older and I miss my baby. But....ugh. Nothing to write about. It's like a pressure in my chest at times. Like I'm failing at something. A little bit crazy, I know, but there ya have it.
These are the things I have been doing lately, none of which I feel particularly inspired to write about for various reasons:
:Work has been exceptionally busy as I try to move from one position to another. Who really cares?
:I went to a wedding yesterday. I didn't know anyone there expect for my husband, his sister, and his father. I've met the bride and groom two or three times. Nothing very interesting happened, other than the spiritual joining of two lives.
:I made a decision on G's Halloween costume. This may be a future post. I haven't decided. Do you want to hear about it?
:G is getting better and better at saying her ABC's and she even recognizes individual letters if you ask her to point them out. She can also count 1-10 and has started counting items, like her little people. Also, she getting better at coloring. She used to just scribble randomly all over the page. Now she is scribbling over specific pictures, like she's trying to color them in. All very cute stuff that I'm proud of...but sometimes I wonder, do people get sick of hearing about every little achievement my wonderful kid makes??
:John is going up on the roof in a few minutes to try (again) to patch the teeny-tiny hole in the chimney that is causing water to leak in and wreak havoc on our walls. That's about all I've got to say about that.
See, it's just daily life. Sometimes I feel like that's a rich source of material. Other times....eh. Not so much.
What do you want to hear about?

Been there Kami, many times. I find sometimes I just not inspired either because there isn't anything to write about or because I am just not in the mood to write about it.
It will pass.
And yes I want to hear about G's costume...I already know she will be stinkin' adorable!
I always think of this as Seinfeld syndrome (I don't know if you're a fan or not, but here goes):
"What'd you do today?"
"Nothing. I don't know. Got up, went to work, came home."
"See? That's a show!"
That's a blog sometimes. You know we're all here nodding along even when you feel that you have nothing to say.
