or I'm tired of wrapping presents
I didn't do a post yesterday, so I
thought I would take a break from wrapping gifts and prepare one for today.
But I've got nothing. Not a thing to write about. Some might call it
writers block, but I call it, I've got nothing.
First I was going to write about Wally
and Theodore and what they remember about Santa Claus when they were
young. Upon investigation, Wally told me that he doesn't really
remember much and Theo told me he wasn't in a contemplative mood.
Next I thought that I would do a recipe and feature the vegetable
soup I made this morning that turned out quite good. But I have no
idea exactly what I put in it or the amounts. That idea wasn't going
to work. I also thought about doing a post about how Annie runs away
from Wally even though he's not giving her medicine any more. But all
I could think of to say was Annie runs away from Wally these days for
no good reason.
So there you've got it. I've got nothing to say except, "May your days be merry and bright and may all of your Christmases be white.”
But wait, there's more (which is hard
to do when you've written about nothing.):
--Ack! Every time I try to get rid of the lines at the bottom of the post, another one appears. They're multiplying!
--I think this may be the ultimate
example of me avoiding chores by working on my blog.
--“Merry and bright ….” comes from
a movie they play a lot this time of year, White Christmas.
I'm going to go see if I can find it on TV somewhere as it is a
favorite of mine. Another great way to avoid the work at hand.
Do you have a favorite Christmas movie?
This is the best post about nothing I ever read. :-)
ReplyDeleteSometimes, I feel like the Seinfeld show which was about nothing.
DeleteHi live and learn,
ReplyDeletewhat you're talking about is how I feel when I'm over-tired. I hope you're getting enough rest, that recent stresses are settling down and that all is merry and bright at your place this afternoon and evening!
There is a lot going on this time of year as well as some long term problems that need attention. It's hard being in the sandwich generation.
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime, I finished all of the wrapping of the presents I have. I still have more to get as soon as I figure out what they are. I think as soon as Ward gets home, we'll go look at some "Merry and Bright" Christmas lights in the neighborhood.
Good for you, getting your gifts wrapped. I need to do that soon. I've wrapped all the send-away ones (and sent them), but haven't even started on the ones for here.
DeleteWe have a new neighbor across the street that seems intent on putting a very good light show for us. He's been working at this every day, and it's looking pretty merry and bright around here.
Didn't make it out to look at lights because Ward got home late. We'll have to go another night.
