Am I the only one who is confused by this sign? It's right outside of my house, by the way.

weight on my shoulders

Do you ever feel like people are expecting you to attain the impossible while at the same time holding your eventual failure over your head? And as soon as you do fail, you will immediately be hit with the harsh consequences of your impending mistake. That's how I feel lately. I can't win. I should just quit before the other shoe drops.

i don't know what to say

Well, the title says it all. And I'm sure it was obvious, but I really haven't had anything to say lately. I used to think about things to write daily. I would mentally write wonderful and interesting posts in my mind throughout the day. But now everything has changed. I can't think of much to say, and what does come to mind is the same old thing, same old nightmares that just want to spill onto my blog's page. I'm tired of talking about the same old nightmares and I'm sure you're tired of hearing about them....

So yeah. other than that I think I really need a bloggy makeover. Does anybody know of a good (cheap) designer? Come on, friend, help a blogger out!

You know what else is crazy and amazing? During my laziness/absence I have accrued 2 followers. Not one but two! Really, who does that? Apparently they must see something redeeming in me--even though my recent posts aren't half the caliber of my first posts. Gosh, I love you people! LOVE YOU!!!


Speaking of which, people love me, too. Namely, Raine, from True Confessions of  Single Mother. She made me the winner for her Pay it Forward contest and she got me an awesome notebook with a sparrow on the front of it, which is super cool, because I love sparrows. I even just bought some plaques for the bathroom wall complete with sparrows. So now I have to look for a winner for my own "Pay it Forward" contest. Watch out, it could be you! Hey, there are no rules, so I can choose anybody I want to! :-D

Well, this post has taken me several hours to write, and it's still not even that good. I'm going to have to put more effort into this writing thing now, as it's just not coming that easily anymore. It's been good, but now I have to sleep. Yeah, I have to work (coherently) tomorrow.

spring

Go read my springy poem at rooftop harmonies, because I really like it, and I wrote it just for you!

holiday discrimination

Have you ever noticed that every holiday can have its moment in the sun, except for Christmas? I say this because I just checked out the peeps website. Why is the Christmas peep known just as "holiday?" That is the biggest load of BS I have ever heard! Easter, Valentine's Day, and Halloween are all allowed their proper names. But Christmas is simply called "holiday." Are they not all freaking holidays? What is Peeps so afraid of? Are they Christmas haters? Do they not believe in Jesus or Santa Clause? Is Christmas "the one of whom we do not speak" or something? The least they could do is call it "winter" or "season of joy" or something equally puke-inducing, yet descriptive. Sigh. I'm so sick of political correctness! I realize the point of being politically correct is not to offend any one, but did anybody ever consider that people might be offended by completely ignoring something that is important to them?
