Cups and Such


“Personal musings.” What a load of hooey. That’s what I said in my first blog, below. Just a little below, as I’ve only blogged one other time since. I started Screaming Lobsters 8 months ago, with the intention of letting all that sarcasm and introspection I seem to be finding at 40 out on to paper.

Hooey.

Excuse #1: My usual. I’m often paralyzed by the idea of doing something perfectly. I can’t have a half-assed blog entry! No errors, for God’s sake.

My second excuse is life got a bit zaney and out of control the first 7 months or so of 2010. Not our best year. It’s been a ride: 128 showings on our house in MD; a major butt whooping by the real estate market; 7 months as a single mom; an exploding brain tumor named Wheldon; yet another depressing birthday; a profound loss; a heart-wrenching goodbye in Maryland; and, the doozey: Living 6 weeks with my parents in Denver.

OK ok, the doozey was Wheldon. But I digress.
