The Blog In My Head

I've written several blog posts today that I am extremely pleased with:

The first one is about how The Agronomist and myself
both travelled to Mars and Venus respectively this past week,
and how happy I am that we have both since returned to Earth.

The second one was a whole, Why am I blogging post?
And how strange to be writing down my thoughts for others to see,
and really does anyone care anyway, yada yada.
And then...well, I wrote a blog about it, so I figured it was kind of a moot point.

The third post asked the question; Were the Iconic Housewives of the 1950's truly happy?
And did they enjoy wearing crisply ironed gingham dresses and aprons?
Because I've been thinking their style was more forgiving
than the jeans with lycra we sashay around in these days.
I mean if you're the sashaying type that is, which is unlikely,
unless of course you are wearing crinolines.
And then we are back to the 1950's, so it's kind of a circular post with no end,
so I may have to work on that one.

But if you happen to like aprons here is a great giveaway from Alissa over at 33 Shades of Green.
It's an Amy Butler print if that's the kind of print that makes your crinoline skirt fly up!
I know if I didn't have my jeans on, it would for me.

The next one is concerning a question my youngest asked me recently,
"Mom is it hard work being a mommy?"
And my thesis-esque answer to the said question,
resulting in my youngest needing help with the summary,
thus involving The Agronomist, who was an innocent bystander.

I then wrote a post about how I hate my purse.
This on the tails of my losing it for the hundredth time yesterday.
I was so frustrated, I threw my purse away,
but realized it was also an innocent bystander, and retrieved it from the garbage.
The post considered the use of a de-tractable chain attached to a large bulky wallet.
It's still a work in progress,
and may have to include buying a new purse that is less prone to wandering.
This of course would strictly be for the good of my blog.

The last was a quick look at long nails and how they are truly not in a woman's best interest.
Note the reference to clickity clacking later on.

But my favourite one was the post about my daughters asking if they could please open up the never before opened box containing my wedding dress.
How they tried it on, and in a few minutes managed to make my veil look funkily cool
leaving me wishing they had been there on that day to help me look less like a
chaste eighties bride and more like a couture 60's diva.

I can't stand it, I'll have to give you a little glimpse at the fun we had.

The only problem with all these great posts which I have quickly summarized for you here,
is that I wrote them in my head.
I dictated them to myself this morning,
while I was sitting with my eldest at the local music festival waiting for her turn to play.

I guess they don't take kindly to the sound of fingers clickity clacking on a laptop while they are playing their pieces?
It's serious stuff, this adjudicating.
Plus I don't actually have a laptop so that made it extra difficult.

I will be sure to bring a pen and notepad for the rest of the week,
and try to remember the amazingly poignant and funny things I wrote in my head today.

They were Pulitzer prize contenders I tell you.

Unfortunately I can't promise I'll be able to replicate the posts here on my blog,  it's a short term memory thing.

You'll just have to take my word for their stellar quality.

And if this is your first visit to Bungalow'56, I invite you to take a look at 

 this post                              or maybe even this one        oh... and this post too

as you can see, I had many Sweet Shots this week,
and couldn't decide which you would enjoy the most.

Take care!

xoxo,

Dana
