For whatever reason, I have not been ‘feeling it’ lately. As a result, I have been sleeping a lot and blogging a lot less. The latter is a problem for those who read regularly (a big shout out to Sleepless – my biggest fan), however, not a problem for most others. For example, Live Longer started reading my blog a few months ago and told me, “I’ve started reading. I’m going to be a dedicated daily.” Then, when she was having trouble sleeping, I mentioned the blog and she said, “I always forget about that.” Passed The Sniff Test is a lot like many of my other fair weather/whether friends (That’s Not Chinese I’m talking about you here) – he only reads when he is in it.
“You still blogging?” Passed The Sniff Test recently asked. “Yes. Let me guess, you only read when you’re in it?” I replied. “Well, that, and I haven’t seen you for a while, and I don’t really know a lot of the people in it, and….” Like so many others, his reading is dependent upon whether or not he is mentioned – a true fair ‘whether’ friend.
Enough about them, let’s get back to talking about me and the weather.
Lately, I’ve been really tired and the weather has not been very fair. The weather, in fact, has been quite bad. Many of my friends who believe in things think the weather, and whether or not one is sleeping a lot or ‘not feeling it,’ has a lot to do with the end of the Mayan calendar. As a non-believer, I don’t agree. I do, however, believe that I like fair weather and tend to have more energy and see more friends when the weather is better. Plus, with these dark hazy nights upon us, I tend to spend most of my time inside, watching mindless, catty, visually beautiful television, specifically, Gossip Girl. Which may really be the root of my problem because watching tv can be exhausting and isn’t something I do on a regular basis. Plus, if you’ve watched Gossip Girl you know these ‘friends’ are assholes regardless the weather/whether. Which makes me wonder, is my blog something the characters of Gossip Girl would have read and, more importantly, should I start posting ‘spotted’ pictures?
more about me…. I’m reading it 🙂
So glad!!! Now we need to work on Passed The Sniff Test, That’s Not Chinese and Tree.
My favorite way to start the day, no matter the weather! Pictures are always fun- that’s why they’re in all the good books!
It makes me so happy that this is the reason you choose to disregard your snooze button – because of this, I’ll keep writing. Picture books are my favorite, especially when the characters are donning colorful regalia.
