Lame.

(Note: Please imagine that title in your head in that evil octupusy man's voice from
Monsters vs. Aliens.)


I feel one should freely admit when they have been lame. I have come to realize that doing so makes people more amenable to forgiving you. I mean, once you admit you're in the wrong, what else can they say but maybe, "yeah you are!" The steam's gone. No one can hate you anymore. It works like a charm.

Ok, so the admitting thing is really for me, so I can forgive myself. This blog is mostly for me, and I have neglected it. I have been lame about recording my life. Which is so totally awesome and needs to be recorded for future posterity, and for me when I forget. So one of my goals for this New Year is to be better and write more often with this blog. That doesn't mean you will have to become a more studious reader or anything, it's mostly for me. I want to look back someday and look at all the little things that happened in my life and smile, knowing they helped make me the person I am. As Kathleen Kelly says in You've Got Mail,

"All this nothing has meant more to me than so many somethings."

So here's to the nothings in life; the nothings that, in the end, add up to great somethings. I hope I can be better at recording these this year!

Happy 2010!!

hilary, whom i lovest:

1. i love it in the the lindsay lohan version of freaky friday when the teenager is the mom and has to act like she's a therapist. one of her patients is a worried mom who reads her daughter's diary because she's afraid something is going on that's trouble for her daughter. the teen/fake-mom bursts out something like, "stop worrying!! if there was something going on, she'd be out doing it, not writing about it!" ANYWAY, point of that is: dont beat yourself up for living rather than writing about living :)

2. regardless of how often you post, i AM a studious reader and i love hearing whats in your head!! thanks for sharing with us.

3. our kids are going to tease us all our lives for these blogs :) hopefully someday they'll realize why we kept them and that it was all for them.

4. i love you.

that is all.
