More randoms

When I started blogging, my goal was a blog post a day, no matter how long or short. Unfortunately, I'm long winded...or whatever you call it when a keyboard's involved. And a quick blog post can take me an hour. Most of the time, I just don't have it. Then I realize with horror it's been three or four days since I've blogged last.

I don't have anything to say tonight, really. Actually, thinking is rather painful at the moment. But I wanted to write anyway.

I've got a bit of a migraine. Mine aren't so bad that they're debilitating, thankfully. It just hurts and makes me want to sleep for about two days. Or at least until it's better.

So anyway... here are my random thoughts for today:

* I looked up orphanages today. It's really sad how many there are, that there are that many children that don't even have the most basic need of a parent's love. And I will stop there or this blog post will get soppy in a hurry.

* I wrote about disc golf today. I learned to play last week. Apparently, I don't suck at it! Perhaps if I'd quit laughing awkwardly while I thow the disc, that would help me avoid the trees. What can I say? I'm goofy like that.

* I got to spend the morning at Historic Augusta. I've been twice so far, and every time I go I wish I could stay longer. I learned some things about Harrisburg that I didn't know. Did you know that there was once a "fashionable" section along 15th Street and Walton Way? It was the main route from downtown to Summerville on "The Hill." This neighborhood, which has always been largely blue-collar and was where my family on both sides had their roots, is now a blight, a drug-ridden neighborhood most people are afraid to be in after dark.

* True love, people, is staying up with a migraine until the washing machine finishes washing your son's baseball pants so they'll be dry by morning, because he has a game tomorrow. And you forgot about them last night. And you send the child on to bed because he needs his sleep. And circling back to random thought #1 for a minute, how can anyone not want to do that for someone else? I don't think I'll ever understand.

* I was watching chick flicks while the kids were at church. I hardly ever watch TV, unless it's a movie. And I abhor reality TV. Documentaries are one thing. Cake deocorating or home shows or something you can learn from it is one thing. Talent shows are okay. But a lot of that trash like Jersey Shore or Real Housewives makes Jerry Springer look like Sesame Street. I have to say I was horrified at some of the families now exploiting themselves on reality TV to make a quick buck. The Judds?? Really??? I always thought Naomi was a very classy woman. Hmmm...maybe not. Frankly, I don't think I really want to get to know her that well.

* Perhaps that's enough random thoughts for now. The washer's on spin, I'm waiting with bated breath and there are two Excedrine PMs with my name on them. I hope ya'll have a wonderful night!
