back to blogging

Every time I realize I need to get back to “blogging” I go out and buy “writing” stuff! Yesterday was no exception. I had no intention of buying anything; I was merely accompanying my mother on her mission to decorate her front door for Halloween, which led to her picking out Halloween cards, Halloween candy and eventually a tombstone and two Jack O Lanterns. As I pushed the cart down the aisle she stopped at the row with office supplies, pens, markers and paper. My eyes casually wandered to daily reminder books, date books, blank books; then I saw it, and Eco-Friendly, Tree-Free, Certified Organic notebook with pocket; actually with 2 pockets! The treeless paper is made in Costa Rica from post-consumer waste and banana fibers! Well, I’ll be a monkey’s uncle, aunt. I opened the spiral bound wonder and it set up like a calendar/journal with the months on the top and numbers 1 to 31 below then the rest of the sheet is lines, each page is slightly different I am assuming due to the “consumer waste” used to create it. Needless to say I’m a happy girl armed with my newly acquired note book and purple pens, yeah I like purple pens, ready to blog…wait, there I go again, rambling when I should stop and think, blogging is writing but on the internet, should I be crestfallen? I really don’t need a notebook or purple pens if I have my faithful laptop. Heavy sigh, then again contrary to popular belief I am not attached to my laptop 24/7. Oh joy and rapture, my purchase was not a complete waste of $3.49.




Watch this space, (actually the space above this one) more to come, I promise!
