I have got nothing, and I mean nothing to write about today. I am tapped out. I’d like to apologize to the thirty nine people who came to my blog today looking for something new to read. I wish I had a funny story to tell or some opinion to present or even something to complain about (besides the weather, because everyone knows it’s cold and boo hoo).
I can’t even find a good meme to do. I’ve already done Six Weird Things About Me, and the one where you grab the nearest book and read the third sentence on page 65 or whatever. I never did buy No One Cares What You Had for Lunch: 100 Ideas for Your Blog, and now I see I could really use it.
Blah blah release date for Harry Potter 7 blah blah July 21st, and speaking of Harry Potter, blah blah Daniel Radcliffe did a play called “Equus” where he appeared naked on stage blah blah Photo Gallery on TheLeakyCauldron.org blah blah NOT SAFE FOR WORK.
Blah blah “24″ Jack and Pa Hoggett kidnapped by brother whose name is spelled “Graem”, pronounced “Graham”, but Jack calls him “Gray” what’s up with that? blah blah
Blah blah Kaitlyn pooped in the bathtub last night blah blah this is my third kid it doesn’t even faze me anymore blah blah
Blah blah McDonald’s is now selling coffee drinks and the Mocha is actually really good better than Starbucks and it’s a block from my house blah blah MochaMomma is probably so disappointed in me but hey they have a drive-thru blah blah
And that’s about it. Sad, I know. I promise if you ask me a question in the comments or tag me for a meme, you’ll get my undivided attention. Because otherwise, I just might have to clean my house instead.
Edited to add: Suebob wants to know how I came to live where I do, and whether I still see people from my past. The answer is this- I have lived in Michigan my whole life. My parents moved us to a suburb of Lansing when I was in the fifth grade, so that my Dad could work for the Michigan Education Association. I went to two Michigan colleges (Albion and MSU), and when I graduated, Chris and I lived in a series of apartments until I got pregnant with Ryan and my parents decided we needed a proper house in which to raise a family. What we could afford was a small two-bedroom in Lansing. We lived there for seven years, raising Ryan and Nathan there, until I got pregnant with Kaitlyn. We needed a bigger house! We told our realtor we would love to live in Lansing Township because the school system there is far superior to Lansing Public Schools, and she found us our current house. I have often entertained thoughts of moving, and if Chris was ever offered a job in another city or even State I would be happy to go, as long as the schools were as good or better than where the boys go now.
It has been years since I ran into anyone from my High School. I purposely do not go to Reunions, because I have no interest in reliving the past. There’s something to be said for sticking around the city where you grew up, I like being familiar with the streets, the stores, knowing exactly where everything is. I like that I can take my kids to the same Mall that I have been shopping in since I was eleven years old. It’s a pretty good place to live, Michigan.
Tell me about how you ended up living where you do. Did you grow up there? If you did, do you still see people from your past?
I don’t do high school reunions either. In fact, I still live in the same town where I grew up and went to high school – and they don’t even contact me.
Of course, it might be that the folks who are responsible to organize reunions and such are in fact too lazy to do it.
McDonalds has mocha’s???? I had no idea. I will have to check that out.
I’m kind of freaked out at the idea of Micky Dee’s serving mocha. From concentrate?
Catherine-I don’t know, from the drive-thru it looks like they pump syrup into a cup, then pour coffee in and then steamed milk comes out of a spout. Then they squirt on whipped cream and shake cocoa powder on it. The coffee might be instant espresso, but I can’t taste the difference.
Thanks for the Daniel Radcliffe pix, my daughter will be ecstatic.
Have you done the ABC’s? Check January 30th on mine…
Ooops, sorry, the 29th.
I haven’t done reunions either. Although about 6 months ago I reconnected with my best friend from senior high school. It’s been great. But neither of us would be too keen on reunions. Not that we’ve gotten an invite. Which we have giggled about and considered it might be deliberate, because we should have had our 5, 10 and 15 year reunions by now and be up to 20 in 2 years. And OH NOOOOOO you just made me realise I am OLD!!!
Hey, sweetcheeks. If you like the mocha at McNasty, that’s all that counts.
Honestly, I just hope everyone drinks what they want. I’m not THAT much of a snob about drinks, but I certainly drink what I like. My favorite in the whole entire world was something I got sent to me from Morocco. There’s nothing else like it. Looks like I’ll have to move there or Lansing Township so I could be close to you. And teach at your kids’ schools! And hang out with you and your poopy-in-the-tub kids!
Ha! this post cracked me up (blah blah). Here’s a question–why do we choose to live here when it’s like fricking SIBERIA in the winter. Lansing = armpit. Why do we still love it so? (and I do, I really really do).
I’ll post on it if you do;-)
i make forty readers. i came her via gingajoy.
that is great that u wrote that poop in the tub doesn’t get a rise outta u once u’ve had three kids. cuz i think poop in the tub would make me laugh always. anything with poop is always kinda funny.
