Blogging


As you can tell if you look at the archive list on this blog, I haven’t been blogging very long.  Sometimes I have a very specific topic I want to write about, other times an idea or topic will pop into my head that seems like it’d be a great post.  And then there are the other times, like today, when I have no idea what I should blog about.  Should I write about my container vegetable garden that while there have been so many blossoms on various plants, I have no actual vegetables yet or perhaps I should write about what it’s like for me as a writer and some of the struggles I face as well as the triumphs that keep me writing.  I suppose I could write about publishing in general, but there a lot of people out there already doing that and doing it much better than I could. 

I guess if I get really desperate I could write about the weather (kind of like when you meet someone new and have nothing in common with them and you end up discussing the weather for lack of anything else) and how we needed rain so badly last month and now we’ve been having torrential rain the last few days that has more than made up for the rain deficit we did have.  No, I don’t think I’ll ever get that desperate for a blog topic.  At least not yet. :o)

Happy Monday (Is there such a thing?)

This I Know For Sure...

Any of the animal videos on YouTube by Klaatu42 can make me laugh.  If you haven't seen any of them, check them out.  I especially like "Kitty is a very BAD mystic."

What I'm Reading Wednesday

Last week I mentioned Dangerous in Diamonds by Madeline Hunter was next in my to be read pile.  I loaned it to a friend so I've just started The Welcome Home Garden Club by Lori Wilde.  I've enjoyed everything I've read by this author so if you haven't given her books a try, please do.

Sorry no post today.  Still recovering from knee surgery.  :o(

What I'm Reading Wednesday

I'm just about to start "Sinister Sprinkles" by Jessica Beck.  It's the third book in Jessica's Donut Shop mystery series.  I also have "Dangerous in Diamonds" by Madeline Hunter next in the to be read pile that I'm looking forward to.

One good thing about having knee surgery is that I have a good excuse to read and do little else for a short time.  :o)

When life hands you lemons…


Everyone’s heard the old adage, “when life hands you lemons, make lemonade.”  Well, in the month of July, I was handed so many lemons that I’m about to drown in lemonade.   

I’m not complaining, after all the other old adage, “into every life some rain must fall” (I’m paraphrasing here because I can’t remember it exactly.), means that bad things happen to everyone.  Besides without the bad things, we probably wouldn't appreciate the good things.  Without listing everything that’s happened, let’s just say just that it seems all my bad things happened in one month, the latest being I need knee surgery yet again.  It’s scheduled for tomorrow.  It’s my 4th knee surgery in just under 4 years.  And there will be at least one more in the near future – knee replacement.  I don’t even want to think about that.

This is a new month and I’m ready for some good things to happen so if you can spare any good karma, please send it my way.  :o)

Have you had a bad month in recent memory?  How did you deal with it?
