NOW there's a plan...

Wow--I have been QUITE the slacker these last few weeks and there is SO MUCH MATERIAL for me to use to write HILARIOUS posts. Maybe that's the problem--too much pressure. Between waking up a million times a night to screaming children or a foot in the face and an elbow in the rib and fighting illnesses and a kamikaze migraine (that's right--I compared my migraine to a Japanese fighter pilot who is willing to give his life for his cause. YOU want to be the one to tell me that it isn't THAT bad or that my metaphor needs work? I didn't think so...now where was I? Suicide bombers and migraines...that's right...), not to MENTION my new-found LOVE of my life WWF (words with friends, NOT World Wide Wrestling, though I have a friend who is just lovely and SHE LOVES that other WWF, which always astounds me. She is normal and young and cute and a sweet mom and...well...she LOVES WWF. Need I say more?! It's just...surprising to me...let's leave it at that!) there seems to be no room anymore for my first love-blogging. I have TOTALLY left the blog in the wind and I am afraid people moved on without her. So NOW I have to work EXTRA hard to be funny or entertaining and I don't think I have it in me.

I think the last time I wrote regularly was [at least] two weeks ago. I know I ended one (incomplete) week with  pictures and comments of all things I found to be funny that week and I've been thinking that I may do that every Friday. What do you (sole reader in Medora North Dakota) think of that plan? I also thought about running a meme (that is actually a thing) one day a week. EVIDENTLY (thanks to my friend at http://www.alittlelucidity.com/ sending me info about ANOTHER blogging forum http://www.thesitsgirls.com/, I read about memes (pronounced MAMES) and learned that they are specific topics that a blogger comes up with to write about and to have others write about on the blog. So I could have everyone write about potty training or family [lack of] sleeping arrangements and anyone who wants to write something about that topic would submit. Does that (second person in Casper, Wyoming) sound like a good plan? I feel like if I have a plan, I will definitely follow it. It seems to be common protocol for bloggers to have a Wordless Wednesday. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Sorry. Anyone who knows me (or OF me)  would laugh at the word "Wordless" in relation to ANYTHING I may do, but it is definitely something I am interested in trying. It would get me to be more savvy with the whole picture upload/download/...loading thingy (only technical terms are appropriate) and would help me to branch out--outside of my "comfort zone" which seems to be curled up in a little ball of run-on sentences and all CAPS while throwing in parentheses, hyphens and a RIDICULOUS amount of ellipses to validate whatever inane argument I may have that day.

So we are in agreement then? Wordless Wednesdays has a new participant. And Friday (though I don't have a fun name for it yet--I'm still working on a name for this lingering migraine...) will be the day when I select my favorite quotes, posts, pictures...anything that makes me laugh or cry or spew out angry obscenities...whatever, and compile them for you to do with what you will. My "meme" day (if both of you think it is a good idea and would be willing to share posts on that day) will be...maybe Monday? I can play on the alliteration again (which is always so much fun! Especially for my friends who LOVE the perkiness (because doesn't alliteration just SCREAM perky girl from Grease? What was her nam? YES! Patty Sincox (or something like that)! Alliteration is all Patty Sincox and A LOT of my blogging friends are...well...Rizzo, so the Alliteration may be too much for them. if I tell them they can cuss and complain and talk about whine wine, I'm sure they will do it.

Wow--I only have two days (unless I do weekends, which I usually don't do because as I'm sure I mentioned in http://anothertiredmommy.blogspot.com/2011/10/i-almost-got-divorced-last-month.html, my husband gets annoyed when he is home and I am on the computer. It used to be the phone, now it's the computer. I find it pretty funny, because it isn't like he wants to TALK to me, so what's the problem?! I KNOW that there are others of you who are going through the same thing, so THAT can be my first meme! What affect (if any) does the computer/television/telephone have on your marriage? YAY!) to come up with original posts when I was trying to write at least FIVE a week before all of this "planning!" That just gave me SO MUCH TIME!  It's like I created the "more time" that we all need in the day. I did that. ME. All by myself. I'm done now...
