I am feeling a little stumped for blog fodder right now, not to mention pressed for time. It didn’t help that I had some kind of one-day guinea pig flu (not as bad as swine flu, but crappy nonetheless) on Sunday, accompanied by a nauseating migraine.
Anyway, sorry, I hate posts about why I haven’t been posting. So I’m cruising through my reader today and come to a post on The Blog Herald which is a “wow, this is great” item about someone else’s post describing his writing routine. It’s basically: start with an idea, put calls out to sources, do research while waiting for sources to reply, talk to sources, write.
Really? This is news??? Marshall, I am sure you are very talented and all and your blog probably has about 500,000 more readers than mine, but … wow. There are lots of things I don’t blog about because I think, “Everyone already knows that.” Clearly I need to rethink this position.
Next week, look for posts on how to pour a glass of water (I will reveal my stance on the all important question: ice or no ice?) and the best ways to put on socks.

There’s gotta be ice!
Ice, but the large cubes, not crushed.
Mayberry, if there’s anyone who can make pouring a glass of water cute and funny, it’s you. Have at it!!!
If there is a better way than one sock at a time, I would love to hear it.
And for water, I like the glass packed to the brim with ice with little room left for water.
I love when you get all snarky.
While you’re discussing ice or no ice, I’d like to hear your thoughts on sparkling vs. still.
NO ice! : P
Actually, please take pics while you show how to fill a glass of water. My son seems to not know how to do this and constantly requests it from me. A tutorial would be incredibly helpful
It’s not how to put on socks, it’s whether or not they CARE.
Could you write a paragraph in your article on how to get ice cubes from getting that stale taste/smell?
Tnx.
I look forward to your thoughts on the slicing of bread and rising from a seated position…:)
Oh, so THAT’S what I’ve been doing wrong!
I’ve been trying to write first and THEN get an idea. haha
OMG you are my hero! That is hysterical.
Hmm, turn on computer, then type. Or is it type, then turn on the computer?
(hey, shameless plug, but if you’re feeling snarky go over to house of revelry for a contest, it might be something fun for you)
But do you put the ice first or second? I find I get fewer splashes if I put the ice in first.
