I've written a few posts over the last few days that are not worth posting.
I'm going to steal a line from James Wolcott ... So snugly bundled am I in my own little world ... that I can't seem to write coherent sentences. Wolcott's snugly bundled situation never seems to stop him from doing that.
When I got to the part of his post where he wrote...
It's always distressing when a blogger is saddened and disturbed.
I laughed out loud. Love that. But, anyway...
I'm assuming over the holidays others have been snugly bundled and it hasn't stopped them either. What's wrong with me?
Like Snag, for instance. Read this great post about him taking his sons to The Field of Dreams.
Or, Steve Kuusisto over at Planet of the Blind. He's writing about The Argument Against Lifeboats and his New Year's Resolution. And what am I doing?
Not writing is what I'm doing.
Then there's Bossy. Blogging even during a family emergency! She's all for gah’s sake please this and that and drunk and everything and she's still blogging. There's no hope for me!
And now on to my very favorite holiday hero, Patti Digh's husband. Man oh man oh man oh man. With motivation like that, I could write a gazillion blog posts. Possibly even coherently. The Wet-Vac I got just didn't inspire the same sort of output.
Love it though, Skimmer!
Just teasing. The Skimmer didn't get me a Wet-Vac. He got me books and pajamas, which is the main reason I haven't been blogging. I've pretty much spent the entire week all snugly bundled in my new pj's by the fire reading my new books, while he's been on the sofa watching one God forsaken football game after another. The Brown's won but so did Tennessee. Shocker!
So, my last post of 2007 is really a non-post filled with lots of links to real great posts. I feel so lucky for that.
Happy New Year, everyone! Here's to it all getting better.
Happy New Year BG! Here's to a wonderful and joyous 2008.
And regime change!

okay, I'd print this one out for The Husband You Mentioned, but I'm afraid it would Swell Up His Head...! ;-) Happy New Year!

Happy New Year with your bad new PJs.

Ohhhhhh thanks for the puffing up, even if one of the compliments *was* tied into DRINKING. How true, Miss Blue. Anyway, Bossy would come over here any day of the week just to read your apostrophes.

Don't 'cha just love the way Steve writes his posts, then disappears just when it's appropriate to say "thanks for the links"? I guess that's why he keeps me around. Anyway he just left for NY to train with a new guide dog. We know it's a Labrador, but that's all we know...
