What was I thinking?

I have a yellow folder that I put things into that might be a good idea for a future blog post. My mind is kind of busy these days with uninteresting things to the rest of the world, so I thought it was time to get some ideas from there. The problem is that I don't know what many of the things mean any more.

Here are a few of them in no particular order except how I pulled them out.

Written on a piece torn from a brown, paper bag. "Yellow (big)-rabbit bush, Yellow many-flowered--viguicva, Yellow--satisfy, Yellow--dessert blazing star."  I think these are flowers from our Southwest vacation that I was going to do a special Second Look post with. I don't think there's any chance that I could go back to my pictures and figure out all of these different yellow flowers. However, who knows? It might be a lot of fun to do that on a frigid January day.

Root beer floats--now I like root beer floats, but I have no idea what I was going to write about them

Should have returned Sharon idea--no clue

Daughters of the Mountain--a book about women coal miners. This could be interesting, but will take a lot of research

Capitol Steps program--Capitol Steps is a group that does political satire with songs and skits. We went to see them last January. Not sure what I was going to write, but anything I heard then would be outdated now because they do very topical material.

Godspell program--I actually do remember this one. We went to a performance and I got to go on stage from the audience. I was going to talk about the stage ham that I used to be (or still am.)

Johnny Appleseed--I think I was going to do more research and follow up on an earlier post.

Different light--microwave, pressure cooker. Anyone out there know what that means?

And as happened with many of those ideas, I've run out of time. Gotta wrap this up or I'll be late to work.

Until next time...

  1. Well, at least you were organized enough to have them in a folder! Some of us aren't even that organized. Every week, when dusting/cleaning I come across various bits of paper with notes on them, some by me, some by one daughter, and I can't make heads or tails of most of those notes. It's like I woke up in the middle of a dream and wrote random stuff down.

    Have a great weekend!

    1. I have my own fair share of little slips of paper around. When I'm at work, I'll stuff my pockets with notes that I want to remember when I get home. And sometimes I remember to take them out and sometimes I don't. Someday I will have a smart phone with me that will be my recording spot for these things. For now, however, it's just notes here and there.

  2. We got a basement full with items, that we thought to have purpose someday.....guess it's time for a cleanup. As always, enjoy reading your blogs.

    1. We also have a basement that could use a clean up. We take stabs at it then and again, but never seem to make significant progress. You go first and inspire me. :)

  3. I love these random bits of your inspiration especially the ones you have no clue what they mean or why you wrote them to begin with. This is a free pass into your thought process. I just enjoyed the journey!

    1. That's a little scary that it was a look into my thought process. And I thought I was so logical and organized. Better rethink that.

  4. Ha! I fear my notes never even make it out of my head! On occasion I'll start a post and leave it as a draft... of course it usually gets lost and I totally forget about it.

    I did find a "to do" list the other day... one that I made back in January and then totally forgot about. Amazingly everything on the list except for one thing (dentist - ug!) has been completed.

    1. That's what is great about old lists. You've already done everything on them or most of the stuff isn't relevant any more. But alas, you probably still need to go to the dentist.
