Minutiae
Blogging September 19th, 2012I surrender. I’ve been trying to come up with blog posts for the last few weeks and I got nothin’.
Literally nothing.
1. I bought a new cube fridge for my office. It’ll keep my coffee creamer and lunch nice and cold. Ooooo! Riveting!
2. Some crazy squirrels keep leaving nut shells on my chair on the patio. There are four chairs, but they keep picking the one I sit in. How do they know it’s my chair and why are they messing with me?
3. I have a favorite pair of shorts that are hard to replace. There’s a big hole in the crack and now I can’t be seen in public in them. Not even to check the mailbox. I am sad. I also don’t sew, so don’t even suggest it.
4. I’m almost out of dish detergent.
5. I cleaned the inside of my car’s windshield and not very well. You sort of need octopus arms to do it right.
6. Happy event: As I’m losing weight, going to the gym again, my pants are falling down. Falling down pants are very motivating.
7. I filled my car with gas yesterday and it came to $25.01. Not $25.00 on the nose. The penny over distressed me.
I defy you to come up with anything more boring than this. What is possibly going on in your lives that is less interesting?
I seriously wanna hear it.
Go!
Stumble it!

I mostly get to post about being sick. I can’t post about the Very Stressful Thing. I guess the chickens are interesting… Can you get some chickens?

“I have a favorite pair of shorts that are hard to replace. There’s a big hole in the crack and now I can’t be seen in public in them.”
That’s exactly what happened to my favorite pair of jeans. So do you know what I did? I took a patch of that TACKY iron-on dungaree stuff and ironed it over the hole. But when I put them on, the glue on the iron-on patch stuck to my leg hair!!!!!
“Happy event: As I’m losing weight, going to the gym again, my pants are falling down. Falling down pants are very motivating.”
Woot! Woot! You GO, girl!
Hey, aren’t you lovin’ this cooler weather we’re having? Today it actually felt like FALL!

Cats. I write about my cats all. the. time. lately. They rule my life so I don’t have one of my own to write about. Sigh-h-h.

Mike — Maybe we should consider this time like a sorbet. A break between meals. Not much substance, but still something, right?
Impetua — If I get chickens, I’ll only eat them. You know, I failed to mention there are a few things I want to blog about, but can’t. It’s frustrating, isn’t it? So much material, but a blog is no place for it. Ugh.
Ron — I remember your jeans post so well because I couldn’t believe the lengths you were going to to save them! Had I known I would love these shorts so much, I’d have bought 10 of them. Dammit. The weather? OMG. I took a long, brisk walk yesterday at lunch. Cool breeze the entire time. I was in heaven. God, I hope this lasts before the snow comes.
BetteJo — Yes, I’ve done the cats thing. In fact, I think that was one of my last posts. There’s always something more interesting going on with my cats. That says volumes about my own life.
Pricilla — Yep, I pretty much have the human version of your days. Except replace “chew my cud” with “go to work.” Bleh.

I need to find some tights. The weather is getting cooler and I prefer to wear dresses, so I need tights. The problem is that all the tights I find either: a) fall down; b) give me a muffin top; or c) cost too much.
See? Pretty darn boring.

I went to facebook. The first post was a photo of a tiny kitten lying on the back of a big dog.
Thought about writing a story.
Didn’t.

Oh, Kathy! This post STILL made me laugh.
And also, congrats on #6!
That’s totally-super-awesome!

Maybe the squirrels are thinking “Why does she always choose OUR chair to sit on?”

Send me your shorts. Seriously. I sew and I know how frustrating it is to have your favorite pair of shorts out of commission. I can fix them and send them back to you. Email me, pally, and I’ll send you the mailing address.
Squirrels are wacky, aren’t they? They totally mess with people who don’t like them. I don’t care if they eat my birdseed, so they don’t do weird stuff like that. They are like cats–they “sense” if you don’t like them.
I’m boring lately too. All I want to do is sleep in this cool weather. Snore-fest.

absepa — And that’s why I hate wearing pantyhose anymore. The waistband totally digs into my gut and so I take a scissors to each side and snip a little to relieve the pressure, then after a few washings, they split and then they fall down. Yeah, I’m goin’ with pants for fall. I’m sorry about your muffin top. That’s the worst.
Dane Zeller — I get that. I really get that. I should do a post about all the things I would write about, but can’t because either it’s off-limits or it only takes a sentence to say. Oh wait, I already did that.
meleah rebeccah — Thank you, my dear, on both counts. Also, you know what one of my motivations is for losing weight? That picture V caught of me in Philly. The one where you can’t distinguish me between a person and a cow.
Daisy the Curly Cat — Oh, that’s funny! And you could be right. You’re always thinkin’, Daisy!
Lin — There’s no way in hell you’re seeing these shorts. I didn’t mention that the waist band is showing about half way around, everything is falling apart on them. It’s really a wonder they stay up. I agree about the squirrels. They are totally messing with me and they know it. I love reading your posts, girl. Always a laugh riot. Keep ’em comin’. Someone’s gotta do it.

I know how this goes. Obviously, as I have been blogging about nothing for years now.
I have a solution to #5 – get someone else to do it. Even if you then have to scold that person for doing a crappy job, at least you have the satisfaction of NOT having washed the inside of the windshield and therefore do not have to admit to the fact that you couldn’t have done any better. Actually, I don’t think anyone can do a good job at this, except my mother.

I won a headless chicken award and deemed that “post-worthy” last week when I couldn’t come up with anything else. I think you’re missing out, though, by not telling more about those squirrels.

Okay, it doesn’t appear that anyone else has suggested this to you for #3. But how about you just patch up the hole in your crack (sht, that didn’t sound right AT ALL) with, well, and iron-on patch? Since you aren’t a sewer, you could simply get one of those iron-on patches and iron a patch right over the top of the hole in your crack (again, that didn’t sound right AT ALL) and your favorite shorts will be almost good as new! Problem solved. Unless of course you’re not an ironer?

I wonder if she has contacted Dr Brian May. As well as being a proper astrophysicist, he knows a bit about music.
