Excuses January 15, 2011

Here I am again. Yesterday I promised I’d blog. But I was so overcome with my failure from the day before that I lost all inspiration. The day before that I promised I’d blog. That day I did blog, but I hated it. I deleted it. I am starting fresh. I know what you are thinking…excuses, excuses. The most important thing is that I’ve dragged my butt back to the computer to try again today. Right??

I think one of the excuses problems may be the name of my blog. What was I thinking? you ask. Well, let me tell you. I was trying to be clever and cutesy with the name. But, I do not in any way resemble Marilyn Monroe. I’m not even a big fan. I’m not hatin’ here…she was just really before my time and I have never really cared. Sorry, if you are a fan. So, as you can see, this title is really not too fitting. I am considering just scrapping this and starting a whole new blog…but that seems a little radical. I mean, just because I suddenly woke up to the fact that I don’t really like it? Anyway, I know it’s a little silly. But I come here and I feel “out of place” somehow. I start thinking about it and then I get writer’s block or something.

Ok, now I can see my shadow on the wall and remember that I pulled out the ol’ hot rollers today (I did it yesterday too). My hair is big & bouncy! It’s not the 80′s, so it’s a good thing I live in Texas. My hair is getting longer and it is thick. It may be turning gray…. and my eyes may be dimming (really, they are)… but my hair is definitely not thinning! I am trying to save money and not get it cut until things financially improve around here. It is a challenge. So I’m trying out new things to make it look better. Not sure the hot roller thing is cutting it, but I like the bouncy way it feels. I know that was random…but that’s how I roll.

I’m also freezing cold. My hands are like iced mittens (whatever that is). It was very cold the first part of this week, but it has warmed up nicely – it’s 57 out right now for crying out loud! The sun is shining, the sky is blue….but now I’m completely frozen. Through & through. I can’t seem to get thawed out. As I’ve mentioned, I’ve used the hot rollers (not to mention the hair dryer) on my head. But still. Frozen. What does this mean? (Your question: What the heck does this matter?) I have no idea. But it is making my fingers feel like they are going to break off and freeze to the top of the desk as I type. That’s all.

Ok, I’ve blogged….about the many excuses I have for not blogging. I am now going to go get ready to make a scrumptious dinner: Kickin’ Chicken with Crash Hot Potatos, & Green Beans. .
Trying some new recipes – I like that! My hubby (who will from now on be known as SMOG – sexy man of God) and I have to go a “getting to know you” dessert & coffee with other faculty members (for the Bible College where he is teaching) later tonight. Hence, the big, bouncy hair. I am hoping to have given it time to relax some before we meet new people in a few hours.

I’m sure to have a whimsical story to tell about this fun event tonight….so stay tuned! And I’ll let you know how the recipes come out. If they are good, I’ll share.

XXXOOO
