Tie Your Mother Down

"My goodness! Has it really been a month since I've posted?"

Yeah, whatever. I'm busy. Work is so busy I sometimes think I couldn't grab hold of my own ass with both hands and a hotpad it's goin' so fast.

Work is going to have to give at some point; I have WAY too much to do and it's affecting my home "me." I'm useless to the point of not liking myself. Nothing to fret over, I have a bead on a solution.

I continue to read Romani daily. Man, that woman makes me guffaw. Her tales of Hooterville, Caroliney, USA frequently derive muffled snorts from me. (I have to muffle; I usually visit after the fam is in bed.)

Closet Metro also intrigues me. There is something soothing about his musings. I can't quite put my finger on it. Stop over at his place if you're a dog lover. The pictures of his dog, Jack, and stories about his daughter, Dizzle, always put a smile on my face. I'm a little intimidated by his harem of followers, though. Kind of scared to post a comment ... there's a lot of chicks that love that man! Don't want to "pull a Laura" and offend someone!

Listening to Syndicate of Love ... their live album recorded at The Tin Angel in Philly. Not that I've ever been to Philadelphia; I just think calling it "Philly" makes me seem more wordly, LOL. My friends Art & MaryAnn have a daughter going to school there and she turned her Dad on to 'em.

You guys ever just want to close your eyes and wake up to the world you've dreamed up? I'm pretty sure my dream world has domestic help ...

Sparkycus spends his summers volunteering eight blocks away at an outdoor performing arts school. His chosen path is tech work; set building, schematics, a little lighting and a little sound. Usually he rides his bike, but I don't get to see him too much and offered to take him and pick him up after dinner tonight. (yes, the child is so dedicated he works evening hours, too!) When I returned to collect him, they were just cleaning up. In a strange reversal of roles, he put me to work helping him tidy things. Oddly, I really enjoyed it! I'm considering doing a little volunteering of my own a couple of evening hours a week just to be near him. I wonder how else my child can inspire me if I just take the time to truly tune in?

Glad tidings to what must by now be my three readers.

Y'all be well.
