Going to try a little bit harder

Cannot believe that in two years I have only managed to write two posts! I guess if anyone has been hanging in there hoping for some content of value - wait, let me rephrase to "some content" - they must be sorely disappointed.

Or maybe they are covered in cobwebs and dust just hovering over their keyboard waiting ... and waiting ....

If that is you then wake up 'cos HEY! I'M BACK! (might be for one post only - but who knows, keeping checking this blog for next post!)

This must be the most pointless blog out there. I guess that I hope that I will type something meaningful at some point. Contrary to the recent evidence I DO have things happening in my life. I have got used to being such a private person that I find it difficult to express exactly what I want to say. I read lots of other peoples' blogs and am amazed and dumbfounded at the courageous, human, humourous, resilient, beautiful, tragic, inspirational, comforting, challenging, and downright honest writing put out there by so many talented people. I feel as though I somehow don't belong among such a cool crowd. Silly, isn't it?

Right girl, just gotta get on with it. Start writing honestly, and lets see how it goes...

Look out for me ... won't you?

New laptop, new resolution

Just got a new laptop, and it has strengthened my resolve to start writing again. A step in that direction is taking the time to start my blog properly. I am a little embarrassed by my sad, lonely entry from 2005 that has represented my so easily fallen-by-the-wayside intentions of becoming the latest writing sensation of cyberspace.

Anyway, as per my post of 2005 I am,yet again, taking time out from housework to write this. I know it seems as though I am in a constant cleaning mode - and beleive me, I feel as though this is the case - but truth to tell I haven't picked up a duster or moved the vacuum from its cupboard since the end of December. I have perfected the ability to keep the house looking clean and tidy without recourse to cleaning utensils/materials, but ever so often i.e. after 6 weeks or so, I find the dust and muss just will not respond to being pushed out of sight and/or being rearranged (don't ask!) and I have to go in search of the proper "tools for the job".

I have just spent two hours cleaning and have vacuumed the stairs, the downstairs hallway, sitting room, snug and .... thats it! I know the upstairs needs doing too, but hey! out of sight is out of mind. When I go up tonight I will not switch the lights on, thereby continuing with the 'out of sight' philosphy. Not sure how my Much, Much Better Half, aka MMBH, will feel about stumbling around in the pitch black. Hmmm, maybe I could turn it into a pre-beddy-byes game..... Yeah Baby!

What I really wanted to emphasise was that I am NOT all about housework, but for now I guess you'll just have to take my word for that.
