I used to do morning pages right before Royal was born- it helped me think more clearly and I was able to work through problems and find patterns to some of my more interesting life choices. I've had and itch to write recently. I'm sure it's that I'm home for maternity leave again, or maybe it was my subconscious telling me it's been a year since I wrote last but whatever it is, I needed to get some words out of my head.
I don't think I have a whole lot to say except that there are a ton of fruit flies in my house. That makes me feel like a five-star 'winner' as a home maker. The tiny fruit fly has a way about it.
I just finished reading B. J. Novak's book (Amazon Associate link below) and it got me all nostalgic. I really like to read- but going to bed early barely after the kids fall asleep really only allows for one chapter a day. There's a chance I like to tell people I read more than I actually like to read but I'm not sure there's much of a difference. I'd give One More Thing four MySpace Kudos. Todd and I met on the MySpace through his MySpace Blog. He loved a good Kudo. I think Netflix stars have since replaced the MySpace Kudo for us but there's a chance that Comcast ruined that for us.
So many of these stories remind me of the kind of stories Todd used to write about. Some are very, VERY short- micro machine stories, if you will, and some are a little longer but they're all very, VERY good. Novak uses the same kind of humor he showcased in his writing of The Office- it's silly and if you're not paying attention you really might miss the humor- but just like exercising and reading- that's EXACTLY the kind of humor we all like- the kind not everyone gets.
Get after it, friends.
I was motivated by the 4th to read Liberty's Torch: The Great Adventure to Build the Statue of Liberty
