Truly riveting post

Hullo? Poor neglected blog. Let's see, where does the thread of my life pick up? Already this morning I've spent 45 minutes on the internet. Just checking my email, twittering, and reading one blog. I'm really trying these days, to just do my business and get off the internet potty, so to speak, instead of sitting there, reading the newspaper behind a locked door, hiding from the children, long after having expulgated my colon.

Yes, I realize expulgated isn't a word, but sometimes it's good to expand your vocabulary by inventing words. Please use the word expulgated (or one of its conjugations) in a sentence today. Maybe Websters will pick it up. It's an especially good word, because it sound legit.

Will had a sore throat and a fever this weekend. I'm wondering how it's going to pan out today. The third day is usually the turning point for these things.

Aaron decided to take a local job, so we don't have to move, whew. I would've been happy to move, after I got over the initial teeth grinding, hair pulling, and kvetching. Of course, I'm happy to stay too. Now his company is is trying to keep him on. They've had a sudden revelation they've been underpaying him, just as he's ready to walk out the door. Funny how that happens. I don't know what he'll do, but I know what I'd do.

I really need to find something readable. I've got several books out from the library, and they're all good, I'm just not in the mood for them. So if Will's feeling up to it, we'll go to the library and the store today.

I've been doing pretty well on the exercise front. Walking my required 30 minutes, and hating all 1800 seconds of it. (Ssshhh, I know I said I'd do 45. Baby steps.)

ahh, i too have been trying to do the 30 minutes per day walk! another way in which we are, ahem, birds of a feather! (you just guilted me into getting out the door today by the by)

So happy happy happy you are back, I was gonna guilt you into posting but naaaawwww- thought you'd come back sooner or later....

Hooray! You're back.

I didn't know about the third day being the sickness turning point. Interesting...

We're in the throes of a particularly virulent strain of croup. And, I feel badly that my kids are sick, of course, but I'm also light-headed with resentment and lack of sleep.

I walked today for 30 minutes, too, though it was outside. I wish you lived nearby. It would be so fun to walk with you.

Glad the exercise is going well!

I did it!!!!! I used that word!!!!

I have created two words. One is vant which is a cross between vent and rant. I like it. The other is pluff which is, oddly enough, a cross between plump and fluuf. Which either means I am truly, truly creative or just can't talk good. Oh, I forgot about shup which is, yes, you guessed it, a cross between shut and up.

And I know just can't talk good is bad grammer, I just couldn't resist it.

Regarding the hoodies, I've had the same problem. Son (blind, weak fine motor coordination) can't engage a full zipper, so we get him the half-zips. No one seems to make them anymore, so I shop the second hand stores. I bought a Jansport half-zip winter coat for $12. Men's Large. Perfect.

Welcome back! I am busy expulgating all the snot from my lungs, and hope to be back in full swing myself in the next day or two.

I, too, have been off doing things. But this sentence, I love: "I'm really trying these days, to just do my business and get off the internet potty, so to speak, instead of sitting there, reading the newspaper behind a locked door, hiding from the children, long after having expulgated my colon."

Awesome. I couldn't put a finger on what I've been working on but this? This is it. Thank you.
