Where I've Been...
I had intended to write at least weekly, but it seems that life has kind of gotten away from me. So, as a means of appeasing my pals in the Writer's Workshop, I hereby present my list of excuses. Instead of writing during the past few weeks, I have been engaged in the following:
1. Being introduced [and immediately addicted] to the phenomena known as "30 Rock".
2. As a result of #1, growing increasingly distracted and obsessed with the Size of Alec Baldwin's Head. (Seriously! It is GINORMOUS!) Plus, Alec B. is Big and Tall...and TOTALLY my kind of guy.
3. Deciding that, should I ever meet AB in person, I shall immediately throw my Edit Filter out the window (it's already broken, so why not) and yell, "DUDE. That is one impressive skull!"
4. Adding Comment Moderation to previous posts, as I have been the recipient of some of the WEIRDEST SPAM EVER. [Seriously, y'all. Who posts links to underwear websites? I don't mean Adult Content sites, either. I mean DRAWS, y'all. Like Haines Her Way, but in another language. ODD.]
5. Reading "Wishful Drinking" by Carrie Fisher, "The Knight" by Stephen James, "The Idiot Girl and the Flaming Tantrum of Death" by Laurie Notaro, and "Ends of the Earth: A Bugman Novel" by Tim Downs. I'm still reading the last one, which is an excellent escape from the daily grind.
6. Dealing with the Ongoing Drama of Destruckto, which now apparently involves the EEOC. THIS shall continue into the next few hundred days. I have, to my surprise, been called to meet with the Greater Powers That Be. While it's nice that they take employees seriously, it would have been NICER if they had been concerned before the complaints required a call to Outside Legal Help. This won't end quietly, y'all. I kind of expect it to end up on the news. Yeah. It's that kind of bad.
7. Helping my daughter [from the sidelines] to prepare a Science Fair Project/report and EDIT her writing, baking large quantities of cinnamon bread, preventing her bedroom from becoming a toxic dump, and making bubble gum from scratch.
8. Piling up large items to give to charity, and watching them collect dust in the corner.
9. Laundry.
10. Hanging out on Facebook instead.
I solemnly promise to do better in the future. I'm up to Season 3 of 30 Rock, so it's only a matter of time...

Just keep posting excuses, and that will be good enough for me.
#3 was hilarious!
I'm with Benny. #10 is my excuse for everything.
Be careful not to mix up the laundry with the charity pile or you could wind up naked.
I never noticed Alec Baldwin's head size before. Reminds me of that Bill Murray line (from one of the Ghostbuster movies) "Those science chicks must really dig that large cranium of yours."
I feel cheated. As hard as I try, I never get the spam comments with links to the Chinese Thong Wars. (That's a joke ya'll). And here you post in Olympic Years and they just flock to you. SO unfair.
But I'll get over it.
I've had to close comments on some of my older stuff b/c of that same spam and others...Weird.
Dannm, that's a lot of excuses. I am merely converting all of my vinyl records to MP3 and reading trashy detective novels.
The evils of Facebook almost killed my blog. I decided to spend more time blogging though and all of my crops and fish died.
Time spent reading books is always good time!
I got some nice chinese porn & handbag sites (all-in-one) after that stupid Blogs of Note debacle. Why would I want to buy a purse from someone whose hands have been there?
