Nothing better to do

Oh, hi!
I kind of forgot about blogs and blogging there for a while. In fact, I’m forcing this. My desk is clear at work, Twitter and Facebook are updated, I can’t be bothered to do anything useful, like alphabetize something or make important phone calls, so I’m blogging.
That’s just how it is right now. You understand.
But I’ve got free time, and if I’m so damn disappointed in myself for not writing I should just go ahead and write, right? Right.
So. I’m writing.
Did I mention I spent the holidays in Europe? Well, I did. And it was marvelous. Mom and I went over to Dublin to visit my brother. I arrived on Christmas Day and from there it was just a blast for two fun-filled weeks. We drove around Ireland and stayed in cozy inns and got lost and shopped and ate and drank. And then we went to Frankfurt for a few days and had an entirely raucous and faintly debauched New Year’s Eve where I drank something called Red Kisses and watched cabaret performances and danced until my feet hurt and wandered back to the hotel happy and blotto at 5 am.
And now I’m back, and life is fine, but I miss Europe and cobbled streets and foreign languages and worldly expats who spend their Euros like it’s Monopoly money on things like Veuve Clicquot and Italian shoes and train tickets.
I don’t know if I’m done here or not. Probably not quite, but I just don’t know. I feel like maybe it’s time for something else, but what? You don’t see me writing anything else besides this blog, do you? No. Me, neither. But maybe I just need to be inspired. So, inspire me.
Oh, and I have missed you. Honest. All of you.
I almost always find it hard to come back after a vacation and jump right back into normal life. Inspiration will come; look everywhere!
See, even this, I like. I think the longer I have blogged the more self-conscious I have become about what I publish. I’m trying to get back to just posting what I feel like and not cringing that it’s boring, or stupid, or navel-gazing or Lifetime channel sounding and just do it.
Maybe I just need homework, like in creative writing classes where they tell you to go write. Hmmmm.
ALL OF US??? Let me know when you get inspired, and pass some of it along my way. I’ve got blogger’s block again.
Glad you got to do Ireland at the holidays, that’s the best time to see it. Also glad to see you back on the internets!
dear sweet lord baby jesus, don’t fucking QUIT on me! I know I haven’t been around lately but it sounds like YOU haven’t either, so quit the effing ‘quit’ talk and just say you’ll post when you effing FEEL like it and if someone doesn’t like it they can take their effing eyeballs somewhere effing ELSE.
But don’t you DARE quit on me!
xo

Oh I’ve missed you too. AAAAAhhhh you were on my side of the world! I feel closer to you already knowing you were in my neck o the woods.
I’m back to blogging….kinda….I promise…sort of.
I see we’re on the same blog posting frequency.
