Yes. A numb arm. That's what I have. My back hurts, so I'm blogging sideways. To type, I must sit up a bit. Sometimes I prop up on my right arm, and then it becomes numb. Oh, the woes of the blogger...
Feeling a little lazy today. Food-wise, we are eating like kings, albeit kings on a very strict budget. I've lost weight! Oddly enough, when you cook every meal from scratch and add some sort of veg to each one, you end up losing weight. Oh, logic! You crazy kidder, you.
Things are going down in the motherland. Family situations have reached a new high of emergency status. Siblings are swooping in with support. I am directing the ground troops from Denver. Operation Save the Stubborn Parents has begun. Yes, Texas. I'll be in you soon. You bastard.
We are virtually penniless. If anyone would like to contribute to my ability to travel back and forth to Texas to take care of my sick parents, there is this crazy thing called a donate button down there on the left. I know. I know. Groveling doesn't become me. Neither does being a neglectful child.
I tend to gear my blog toward the silly and happy. I was told recently that my blog doesn't always reflect what is going on in my life. Here's the beef, man. I have troubles just like you. I may even have MORE troubles than you. I just try to see the bright side of it, rather than dwelling on how we're going to survive. I've worried enough about that. So, I dunno. Maybe I'll try to spill the boohoos a bit more. I have a bunch of 'em.
You tell me. Would you like to hear the woes? Would you rather I stick to the hahas?
Maybe I'll let Amos flip the coin. Heads means woes. Tails means sweet potato.

Numb arm

13 beautiful people muttered something back:
I'm pretty sure Amos will flip the coin repeatedly until it comes up sweet potatoes. He cannot be deterred in his quest for orange food.
Perhaps we'll start writing our woes in entertaining, Woody Guthrie style verses. Although I don't think we're planning to start a union any time soon or battle the fascists, so maybe not.
I held off on the boo hoos but it got to a point where (evryone in my family had cancer and...) the boo hoos were sometimes all I had. In the end, as much as I'd love to have a huge validating following, the blog is being written for me and maybe for my boys (in the future when they are older) and the good comes with the bad, so I chose to shake it up. But truthfully, I don't think everyone is comfortable about hearing all the downer stuff, so you just have to ask yourself who you are writing for.
I think that if you just stick with the ha has, eventually, you will tire of this blogging thing.
People will still read even if it's not a funny subject. One of my favorite blogs is from a woman going through infertility. Not funny, but she still captivates.
Hang in there. If you need to unload, feel free to email.
Woes or sweet potatos- we'll still be around! ;)
No worries!
i know that life isn't all roses and lillies so i vote that maybe you share what you feel comfortable sharing no more no less....
We're supposed to care what the readers think?
Man, I thought I was getting the hang of this blogging thing.
Sometime you write what you want to and sometimes you write what you need to.
I just made that shit up. I'm going to live it though!
To use your favorite phrase, Sarah, you are "the bee's knees." No matter what you blog about!
Don't feel you have to be the monkey playing the music box for an audience. We're your friends. Heaven knows that I've unleashed my share of troubles upon you.
I admire the way you're dealing with every hardship that's been thrown your way. And you're right, sometimes you just have to let things go to keep your sanity.
Family is tricky. I'm sure there'll be lots of headbutting, so you'll need to vent somewhere about it! Use us. We like it. We're greedy blog-readers who enjoy reading about the problems of others. And we also love you, a lot. And we want you to stay sane - because I don't think they let you blog from a crazy house.
;-)
Hey, if it would make you feel better write about boo hoos.
But like Phil said if you could do them in the form of a country song it would be cool.
We are here for you sweet potatoes or not.
Boo-hoo's help to remind those of us on the reading end that we're not the only ones suffering! Nothing cheers me up more than learning someone else is dealing with stuff I don't have to deal with. (tongue firmly in cheek) Seriously, if you need to vent, that's fine. We'll be here to give support and sympathy. And when something strikes you funny we're glad to laugh along.
woes is okay.

"I think that if you just stick with the ha has, eventually, you will tire of this blogging thing."
"so you just have to ask yourself who you are writing for."
I agree.
After about the age of two, we're taught to supress our emotions...keep them minimized and polite so no one is uncomfortable, including ourselves.
The crap; the "I'm confused" ;the "no one said it would be this hard"; the "am I going nutty?"
We all have it. There is a bright side to even the worst, I believe. Sometimes we don't see that until we start to express it. That's my experience anyway.
Taking requests for blog mood seems counter-creative.
Let Google mine the content for ad-links somewhere else.
Write what you want to write about, it's your blog!
Personally, if you are bloggin about your life, you eventually have to blog about the crap.
But you don't have to HARP on the crap.
That's my domain, thankyouverymuch!?!
(just kidding)
