OK, this is going to be a short, foolish post.
I hesitated what to call it, because I have at least one friend who calls me out when she perceives I am putting myself down. So I couldn’t call it stupid. I might have called it lame, but will I include any random observations and half-baked philosophies? Silly might have worked, but what if I didn’t get silly enough? So you see how I dither (dither is a really good word; it exactly describes what I do).
It is five in the morning and I am sitting at my computer. I had meant to come home last night, write the post, save it as a draft and only have to hit a few buttons this morning. I was too tired. In fact, my original plan included rewriting the lame post I had written at work that day for Friday. Why do I even bother making plans?
On the brighter side, in about an hour I will be headed to my sister’s house. From there we will pick up mother and sister-in-law and head to another sister’s house, where we will be joined by the other sister and a cousin, and we are headed to the Finger Lakes for WINE TASTING!!! This, of course, is why I have been flustered all week (and not a little obsessed: Friday watching the news on YNN, I thought the guy called the channel “Wine-N”).
On the even brighter side, my coffee seems to be kicking in. I’ve heard that the caffeine in coffee really takes about 20 minutes to kick in. If you are falling asleep on a road trip, they say (oh, those smart, smart people, “they”), you should get yourself a cup of coffee, then take a 20 minute power nap till the caffeine kicks in. That would never work for me. Whether it’s the hot beverage or placebo effect, I get fast results. Coffee is a gift from God.
OK, that’s over 300 words. A not unrespectable post (my computer is telling me unrespectable is not a word; go figure). As I look back over it, a not unsilly post (also not a real word). Bottom line, I like it. I’m hitting publish. Happy Saturday.
