State of the Blog Address

Last week, I got an email from Alex, telling me I should blog more, and that she misses reading about me daily. I really appreciated Alex's note, especially since I think her blog is fantastic, and it's always nice to hear when someone likes mine, too. I just wanted to talk about why my blogging has been a bit sluggish as of late.

I like to write about things I find funny, amusing, and/or entertaining. Lately, I haven't been in an amusing mood. I've been sad about a bunch of things going on in my life, some of which I specifically don't want to talk about here because they involve people other than myself, and I don't think it's fair to put someone else's life on the web if they don't want it there, even if it does relate to me.

I think, also because of my mood, things I might have found funny or been able to put a spin on have just seemed irritating to me. So even when I do write about things, I end up not being happy with the result.

In other news, last night I stopped at CVS to buy milk. When I was at the checkout, they had some leftover Halloween pumpkins. Since I love any chocolate that has a marshmallow filling, I bought one. It was 5 cents. 5 cents!! Why did they even charge me for it? Not that I'm complaining, any time I can get something I want for a nickel, I'm happy.
