It’s November 3rd, do you know where your voting precinct is? Better yet, do you know where your list of 2009 Resolutions is? Mine is crinkled and covered in coffee stains, and not many of those resolutions were checked off. Some were revised. And some, now, looking back, just seem silly.
But in a way, simply having them written down makes 2009 seem like less of a lost cause because, truth be told, I did make some headway towards the bigger picture stuff. Like this blog. There was some writing. And spunkybean …I definitely wrote some stuff there. And Mel Robbins’s blog. Almost 1oo entries were written in 2009, and guess who wrote them all? Oh, yes …yours truly. So, now if I can just focus a bit more in 2010 (or even the remainder of 2009), I can maybe hone my craft, better target someone who might actually pay me in something other than Starbucks cards, and get one step closer to earning a living as a writer.
But that’s just me, and not why you read this blog. Oh, wait. Yes, “me” is exactly why you read this blog.
No. Not today. Today I turn my blog spotlight outwards and back at you, loyal reader. Today I celebrate the Housewife in honor of National Housewive’s Day. It’s a helluva lotta work to be at home all day with your family, enjoying all their milestones and memorable moments. What one woman calls “home making” or “housewifing”, another man might call “vacation” or “what-he’d rather-be-doing instead-of crunching-numbers-in-a spreadsheet or talking-for-hours-on-the-phone while-viewing-a power-point presentation.”
You say tomato, I say razzle-frazzle-frickin’-burgle-grumble.
Enjoy my love letter to the housewife at spunkybean, won’t you?
And enjoy Weezer’s new video for “(If You’re Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To”, but you’ll have to click the link because I can’t embed it.
And lastly, here’s a funny person with a funny blog. She’s now in my blogroll (at the right).
