I’ve decided not to blog today. I thought I’d announce this decision, so you’d know that you were being neglected, instead of just suspecting it. It’s a beautiful May morning, and I plan to enjoy it. But just so you know what you’re missing, I’ll fill you in on a few things you will won’t learn on here today.
I won’t share my new secret knowledge: ring-billed gulls (commonly — though incorrectly — known as “seagulls”) practice kung fu when we’re not looking. Maybe I’ll mention it another time instead. If it comes up.
If only I were blogging today, I could mention in passing that hubs requested a pie in the face for his birthday and a rutabaga for Christmas, and now I’m terrified and intrigued — what will he ask for next? But since I’m busy elsewhere, I will be forced to disclose that tidbit another time.
On this fine morning, I will not share my suspicions that Echo the Cat looks like an Olsen Twin. This is especially clear in the link I would post if I were posting a photo to back up this information which I will not share today. Which I’m not. Or something. Now I’m all confused…
I hereby refuse to admit that our other two cats are unusually close. Often.
On a day like today, when many of you are probably hard at work on your novels, it would be far too embarrassing to reveal that I take pictures of random objects when I have writer’s block. Much better for you to suspect that I dedicate 100% of my attention to my book whenever I’m not at work or blogging.
And, because I’m afraid of public humiliation, I will never — today or any other day — reveal that I refer to this picture as “Cactus Itt” and am desperate to take scissors to the plant’s shagginess. I fear you might disagree or, worse, laugh at me.
So there you go. I bet you feel as if you’re really missing out, with scintillating topics like these available if only I were willing to take the time. Maybe on a day when there aren’t flowers to enjoy and books to write, and cats to tease, I will go more in-depth. Or perhaps not. In the meantime, if you’re feeling bereft of bloggie tidbits, I suppose you could always stop by my photoblog, Playing with Pixels. To navigate through the album, just click the right or left side of each picture to go backwards or forward, respectively, or use the arrows beneath. Or, if you haven’t done so already, read the post below and then enter to win an autographed and personalized copy of Jess Riley‘s hilarious and poignant debut novel Driving Sideways. Or find some other way to entertain yourself. You’re resourceful; I can tell that about you.
Oops. You’re right, Dru. Guess I’d better watch that. 😉 And, yes, it’s been a nice weekend so far. I hope you’re enjoying yours, too!
So true, Pam! That’s the excuse I give whenever I watch a movie or read a book; why not apply it to anything fun? And, yes, Echo probably does weigh more than the twins. He needs a diet, but he’s easily angered when hungry, and he’s not pleasant to be around in such a state.
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. Loved the humor in this post and your “other kitties” look just like mine. I’ll be back 🙂
Once again fab photos and fab blog, or uh, non blog. You make even not blogging so much fun to read. I think your hubby’s on to something regarding gifts – I love it! And I think Echo looks more like Ashley. Just sayin. Cactus Itt is awesome! And kinda cute.
i’m not reading blogs today. its a beautiful memorial day morning and i’m outside enjoying it. (yes, your cat does look like an olsen! i should know, my professor husband taught her…an olsen not your cat!)
A blog about not blogging. Fantastic! *G* Cousin It cactus looks like it needs a haircut, I don’t blame you for wanting to take scissors to it! *G*
Thanks, L.A.! I enjoyed visiting your blog, too. 🙂
Robin, I’m glad you know the difference, since I have no idea. And, yes, Cactuss Itt cracked me up when I saw it; I just knew I needed a picture.
Enjoy the beautiful day, Joanne! And that’s cool that your husband taught one of the Olsens. Of course, now I’m nosy about how well she did in class, etc.
Thanks, Brandy!
Okay, we’re all talking about how your cat looks like one of the Olsen twins, but am I the only one who things your hubs looks like Nathan Fillion?
your plant looks like cousin it…
Thank you so much for not blogging today. If you had blogged, I would feel as though I were missing out on many wonderful things.
I’m not commenting on you not posting a non-picture of your un-funny husband without pie on his face. :0)
