What Makes Me Laugh

Well, folks, it has been a fun ride, but I think it’s time to hang up my blogging hat for a while. This is partly due to the fact that I lost my sense of humor somewhere during the Gulf oil spill, and I haven’t spotted it yet. It’s partly due to summer, which is short around here, and I need to soak up as much sun as possible before it leaves our hemisphere. But mostly … (insert drumroll here) … I’m working on the second draft of my novel and I’m so close to being done that I can taste it. All other writing is taking a back seat to this project, and you’ll hear more about it soon.

In the meantime, I’m going out to buy a real journal. I haven’t written in one since I started to blog and frankly, I miss it. You can tell yourself you’ll burn it afterward and write all kinds of stuff in a journal that you’d never put online. You can bore yourself silly writing about gardening and no one will even care. Maybe somewhere in there I’ll find my sense of humor again.

To those of you who have commented and supported my blog, I really thank you. It’s been fun to meet other bloggers, some of whom seem like real kindred spirits, and to share thoughts with friends and family. So, consider this your cyber hug. We’ll meet up again soon.

So, the two armchairs that are new-to-us have been claimed by the cats. We had envisioned long winter nights reading next to the one air vent that blows hot air in our living room, but have been vanquished to the cold part of the living room by two animals that simply rule by cuteness. How could anyone disturb this?
