10 things I thought about posting on FB...

But didn't.

I blab too much. About stuff no one cares about. Those little, mundane moments of my day probably shouldn't be shared with all of Facebook. Certainly not all of the blogosphere.

But guess what. I'm in a mood. So the following are 10 things I thought about posting on my FB status today, then decided not to. Lucky you. You get them all right here at once. I will pause a moment while you collect yourself, reeling from the sheer excitement.

Amy Schoon:

1...just signed up for an online telecourse called "Re-Arranging Deck Chairs on the Titanic."

2...has two therapy appointments and another with her psychiatrist this week, in a span of two days. Welcome to 2010.

3...hopes Henry's current interest in blowing things up "with a bazooka!" is a phase that will pass quickly.

4...will never get warm. It's MINUS 20 wind chill out and feels like it's been this way since Christmas.

5...is thinking about signing up for an informal music group at church. An excuse to get out the clarinet in the dead of winter. Amy hopes her fingers don't freeze to the keys.

6...plans to make a chicken macaroni casserole in the Crock-Pot tomorrow. She only wishes she were going to be home all day to smell it cooking.

7...wonders how she's going to read the rest of Time Traveler's Wife (100+ pages) in one day, since tonight she's giving up real books forever in favor of her e-reader, the Nook. UPS is scheduled to deliver it today!!

8...made the mistake of getting vending machine coffee this a.m. since today is free beverage day at Pearson. Sometimes NO coffee is better than free coffee.

9...would love to adopt a Scottie, if one found its way to her door.

10...smiles when she recalls the last thing Henry said as she was walking out the door: "Mom. You're the best."

Ho, Ho, Ho, How Many Times Can I Use "I'm too busy" as an Excuse?

I haven't had time to write. Work, swim meet volunteering, holiday decorating and shopping. But truthfully, I've not been in much of a mood to write anything anyway. Last night we put up the tree and Santa chachkies, and I drank my first egg nog of the season, so perhaps I'll be in a cheerier mood. Also, I have spent some time writing the annual Schoon holiday newsletter. If you happen to get a copy, treat it like a drinking game. Every time I make you roll your eyes, take a drink. Nog, wassail, Everclear. Whatever gets you through. One sure way to assist with merriment motivation is listening to Christmas carols. I'm not going to get into a debate over what truly constitutes a carol. You can "Jesus is the reason for the season" yourself until you turn blue; I generally lean toward the secular end of the holiday tune spectrum. And if you just gasped at my use of holiday instead of Christmas, go suck on a candy cane. It's my blog and my opinions. Deal.

Looking Forward

I just discovered this blog was still around (and miraculously, I remembered the password). I think I might kick the tires and take it out for a spin.  Our world has been in lockdown for a year, suffering a pandemic that has killed nearly 550,000 in the United States and 2.7 million globally. We've worn masks, maintained physical distance of at least 6 feet from others, washed and sanitized our hands, worked and schooled from home, dealt with (of all things) a toilet paper shortage, and given up most of our favorite activities (restaurant dining, movie theaters, live performances, family gatherings, and so on). We've endured people's stupidity, ignorance, racism, xenophobia, selfishness, indifference. We've also celebrated the "essential worker," those who put their lives at risk to make ours safer: grocery store employees, delivery drivers, healthcare professionals, educators ... all those whose jobs help ensure continuity of our country's infrastructure
