“Oh bother,” said Winnie-the-Pooh, “whatever shall I do? I have to many thoughts floating in my head and they are all running into each other, making a terrible racket.” Well, that’s probably what he would have said if he were a 36-year old woman who looked like me.

Since my Gymboree website closed down two years ago, I haven’t done much blogging (sorry, Grandpa). Part of the problem has been indecision. At any given time, I am in the middle of a few major projects and several minor ones, and I can never decide whether the major ones should be spun off to their own blogs or not. So far my strategy has been to start a new, single-topic blog for homeschooling, say, post once, and then let it sit there for a year and a half before finally deciding to let the domain name drop. Good plan, no?

So after having several silly, disposable blogs littering the internet and the dustbin of my brain, I have decided to just use this one blog that already has articles on it. At any given time, I am working on such disparate items as a) trying to find a house (again!!), b) trying to educate small children so they don’t grow up into easily swayed imbeciles, c) long-form writing projects for which I am still in the “research and education” phase with a little bit of actual writing, d) interior design research for the house I someday hope to live in for more than three years, e) organizing the home I currently live in and cooking for myself and the nine other people who live here, and f) trying very hard not to turn into any sort of –icidal maniac whatsoever. I plan to now clog up this blog with rambling blobs of mediocre, probably un-proofread writing on any/all of these topics.

Maybe I’ll see if there’s a way to make an RSS feed by blog category so people who are interested in screenwriting don’t have to listen to me complain about the way Zillow simultaneously manages to have both the most current and out-of-date listings data of any housing place on the net. That is not a project for today, however, since it has the air of an item which should be easily scratched off the agent in three minutes or so, I know it will take a least three hours and I have other things to do. So now you know just how important your RSS feed comfort really is to me.

I am, however, going to go reorganize my blog categories a tiny bit and post a link to a great screenwriting site that my husband got me turned on to. Then – up and at ‘em! Thank you for sitting through the entirety of this terribly dull informational message.
