Sucker
Like NaBloPoMo didn’t almost kill me. Like I need more to worry about during 2008. Like you all WANT more of me during the coming year - I’ve decided to go ahead and get committed commit myself join Blog365 - Version 2008. I’m not sure whose brainfart brainchild this was, and I can’t promise that you won’t be overloaded some days with camera-phone snapshots, but I’m going to do my best to write every.single.fucking.day (although I think I get February 29th off - must go read rules again.)
So, if you’re as stupid idiotic excited about this as I am, head over to Blog365 and sign up. Please make sure you add me to your friends list, too, because Gawd only knows I’m going to need some company in the padded room at the party.
In other news, the tree is down and with Shortman out of the house today at a practice for his BPA tournament this Friday (yes, there will be suit pictures - and that reminds me -
We also bought this for the living room. In this picture you can see (barely, if you squint) on the left side of the television a little two-shelf thing that the cable box sits on. It (the cable box) used to sit inside the television stand (behind the frosted glass doors), but it was “too hard” to change the channel unless you pointed the remote directly at the little infrared eye thingie. (Remember, when you say “too hard”, make sure you’re saying it in the whiny voice of a 16 year old 52 year old three year old.)
Since we don’t keep the tree up year-round, in place of the Christmas tree, imagine a 6 ft. tall silk ficus purchased before Franks Nursery & Crafts went belly-up.
The plan is to move the ficus to the other (left) side of the television, and put the ladder bookcase on the right side of the television with the cable box on one of the shelves.
I’m hoping it will make the room appear bigger when you first go in it, open it up some. Provided we get it together (without a murder being committed) and everything rearranged sometime this century, a (camera phone) picture may be posted here.
And really y’all. That’s about it. It finally stopped snowing (I think we’ve had about 9 inches since yesterday morning). There is blue sky showing. I’m back in the office (and yes, I’ve even managed to catch up on email since everyone and their freakin’ brother was out for the past week!) - and it’s quiet. There will likely be some new work landing on my plate soon (which, duh, another reason I shouldn’t have committed to Blog365) and it may involve some traveling (hey! duh! another reason to commit to Blog365 - travel always brings blog fodder.).
—- Now, don’t forget your submissions for the first Hotlight post - bling will be forthcoming (yes, I’m out of control with the bling - it has to do with my compulsive creative gene). —-
HOT LOVE
Despite my anal retentiveness, the blogging every day for a month sounded like too big a task for me (which is why I gleefully avoided it) let alone trying to do it every day for a year. Yuck!
But, I’ll read what you write….lol
(evil laugh here)
I see someone has a strikethrough obsession…
Yay! I’m not alone!
365? Are you effing nuts? NowBloMeMoFo was too much, I couldn’t handle that x 12. Although 2008 is shaping up to be The Year of the Neuroses, so that might provide some interesting content.
Sucker is right. You are insane. Good luck with that! I wish I could do it, but when i had to run out of a bar at 11 PM during NaBloPoMo, therefore ruining my fun, I decided that some times, you just have to live.
Because that happens like once a year for me. The other 364 days I work on creating a nice dent the shape of my ass on my lovely couch.
You are NUTS. NUTS.
Why? Why, why, why, why why? And also How? Are they giving away CARS or something?
I’m nuts with you, Ree! Let’s do it!
Ree - I’m on the fence re: NaBlahBlah! Let me have a drink, think about it and have another drink and I’ll make a decision by Friday. Because, clearly, one must drink before committing themselves to 365 days of blogging!
Oh, yes, certainly certifiable. I travel all summer, and until I hook up with that shiny new laptop I crave, not a chance of doing it. Why add a failure to my list of things to feel bad about?
And why, oh, why, since you have WordPress, do you not have the amazing CommentLuv plugin?
I would love to manage a blog post every day but there is no way in hell that I would follow through. The main problem is that my life is somewhat boring. The other problem is that I am not a clever enough writer to turn “boring” into good blog fodder.
But, good for you for giving it a shot!
Even I wouldn’t commit to Blog365 and I post pretty much every damn day already.
Lady, you crazy.
OK, that’s what they guy told me at the laundry when I asked if my jeans could be hemmed in a hour while I waited… but still…. writing everyday…
You. Crazy.
I’ll be here to read them. EVERY. DAY.
Happy New Year!
Just don’t go posting your freaking grocery list or what you got from Avon or endless Youtube clips OK? Or you will be less Hotfessional, more Lukewarmfessional…
I will lurve you regardless…..
I am considering the 365 thing, but what if I go on holidays or something….. *snort* Like who am I kidding with THAT!
I am back! I am up to date! and NO I did NOT skip over the photos!
Whoa That is one hell of a lot of blogging. I am not sure that I could come up with enough stuff to blog about, or the time in which to do it. But I will join the “reading what you write” side of the line. LOL
365 days of blogging makes me tired just thinking about it.
Blogging every day for a year. Wow. Good luck with that.
Only men kvetch about how hard it is to change a GD channel. One time Mr. T called me into the room to ask me to adjust the volume on the TV for him. Unreal.
I keep feeling the pull of that Blog365 and have so far successfully resisted. Although I’m still running at about 2 posts a day, I don’t WANNA HAFTA. I got enough crap to deal with.
padded room - who doesn’t have fun in one of them. I’s so glad you decided to join in the (choas) fun!!! Magneto, the rules state that you can actually write you post and then post it when you get back or post/pre date them.
I…uh…yeah. November was enough for me, lol.
Well I think you are very brave to take on such a challenge. That would stress me out to the max and I would end up writing more endless crap than I usually do so I will pass I think. I’m glad I know that you will definitely be posting daily though so I can commit to coming by daily to read. And you can be sure I will……
Insane, hotly insane, you are.
