I Finally Found Some Time for My Blog!

First of all, thank you to everyone who's been responding to these blogs! Yes, I know, I haven't been here in awhile. I've been so busy chasing the WROR Fugitive, I've barely had time for anything else, ha ha! He is an addictive little pastime, isn't he!!

Today is Monday, the last day of April. April is, in my opinion, the LEAST dependable month! April can go from snowstorm to 80 degrees in less than 48 hours. I don't recall that occurrence as a child… but perhaps I wasn't paying attention. It's funny, all the details we miss every day because our body is one place and our mind is in another stratosphere. How often have you been driving to work only to realize...oh… I'm here already. You miss the whole ride to work because you're going over a conversation you had with someone or are thinking of having with someone or some other diversion. Or do you ever pretend to be listening to someone who's speaking to you when in fact your eyes are glazed over because in your head you are making that mental list of things you still have to get done before you can take five minutes for yourself (that’s much easier to do when you're on the phone and the other person can't actually see those faraway eyes). And here's my new favorite: you're in the middle of answering an e-mail, the phone rings or someone walks in the room and you attempt to have two conversations at the same time. ..."Uh huh (tap tap tap), yep, (tap tap tap) I know".... yes, I'm guilty of all of the above. I think it's because I'm attempting to squeeze as much life into every moment without actually staying in the moment...which is why when the WROR Fugitive gets caught, no one can remember what he looks like...we're so caught up in our own heads, we miss the details...

***Did I forget to turn off the stove...my lunch was really good today...Oh the dog needs to be groomed...*** Oops... I was so busy I didn't realize I am already through Julie's blog!!! haha.. just kidding. I know what you mean. My head feels so clouded lately, I can't remember what I did the day before.. or remember doing really important things.. I have the proof I did them, but not sure how they got done.

Oh and the April thing, probably not bad as this when you were a kid... it's global warming.. yay:(...

So glad you blogged!!!
