New beginning

This is at least the fourth blog I've had.  I always lose steam.  Now I'm out of practice, writing, and my brain is getting mushier and less sponge-like as the days roll by.  Here's my latest stab at having a creative outlet.

The irony is I'm not creative.

I'm really not.  I tried crafting something for my girls recently.  It was all well intended, but I burned myself with the glue gun and actually glued the shells on wrong anyway, thus ripping the scrapbooking paper I'd already shellacked down, and when I was finished I realized I'd done the whole thing upside down, and well ... you get the point.  I don't even need to tell you WHAT I was crafting to get the point across that it did not go well.

But I am a writer.  I like to write.  Sometimes I have amusing things to say.  Sometimes I'm Insightful.  Sometimes I'm witty.  Other times just bitter.  But I most often think the best of people until they look at me funny, at which point I reserve the right to criticize.  (Only to take it back later if I find out they were having a bad day, having a bad hair day or constipated.)

So let's try this out, shall we?  There is nothing particularly interesting about my life but I am a Noticer (aka "stalker," according to my husband) and a Thinker, so there's always something brewing in my head.

Tomorrow:  thoughts on consignment sales.  See what I did there?  I bored the shit out of you.  Just wait ...
