And I got to thinking. To wondering. Is this blog of mine like a Christmas card? Clean? Sterile? Showing only the joys?
Hmmmm ...
But on the other hand, I've read some people's personal blogs where they hang their dirty laundry, and know what? It ain't flattering and I just don't like it. Besides, I'm not a generally negative person. So ... what to do????
Some of the struggles in my/our life are medical-related. And know what? I've heard of instances where insurance companies use personal information from blogs to block or deny coverage. So, I am completely not willing to share struggles in that arena.
But there are other areas of life where I can certainly share/brain dump. OK, so here's my yesterday. I was in Wichita for a wedding consult. Went well. And to appear in muni court to pay a speeding ticket. Went OK. They chopped my fine in half, which was great, but court costs are killer! But I *do* have to admit, having a last name with B puts me closer to the front of alphabetical lines, which is a new concept for me, after being in the middle for my entire life! :)
But I also had tons of errands to do. I accomplished most of them in the morning, but there were a few I needed to do in the afternoon. Even though my youngest brother teases me for making lists, I SHOULD have made a "to do" list. It would have completely prevented my afternoon mayham. But I didn't, so it didn't. *sigh*
I ran to the west side to chat with a guy at a natural foods store, but of course the person I wanted to talk with wasn't there. So I found the only "snack-ey" sort of food I could have in the store (more about this in a future post, I promise!), and purchased them. Score! A snack I can eat on the run!
But about the time I pulled up at this store, I remembered I'd left 2 rolls of 120mm film at a lab on the EAST side of town. I was on West Central. I needed to go BACK to East Central.
*sigh*
So I did. And when I picked up the film, I was told only one of them had been shot, so I have another roll of 120mm film hiding in the house somewhere that I will have to remember to take to Wichita to be developed. Sheesh!
And baby bro ... as much as you think my lists are SILLY, if I'd have made one, it would have saved a trip across town ... so there! ;)
And as a reward for those of you who made it all the way through my rambling, here's a photo I took while we were in Arizona. It's about the only photo I've looked at. I have now downloaded, but not looked at the photos. Seriously!
This is from a series of photos involving textures I did in Arizona. And, for those of you who are curious, I used my little point and shoot camera to take this photo. The macro feature is fantastic! So for those of you who think you need a fancy camera, I tell you "YOU DON'T" ... just read your manual!

Karen, I like your blog the way it is. Make it what you want the whole world to know about you. Your friends & family know there's much more to you than pictures of your cat, your garden and happy happy joy joy, and that when you need to discuss those things, you have other ways of reaching out.
And remember, the Internet is kind of like Vegas. What goes on the Internet, stays on the Internet. Only it's not a good thing in this case.
WOW! I'm pretty sure this could be SOLD for some serious buckaroos...not that all your pics couldn't...but I'm diggin' this one a LOT!
Nicely done!
Excellent points, Juno. Thanks for slapping me back to reality!
Jos, you'll be happy to know in the not too distant future, my still life work WILL be available for sale. And I'll be sure to be in the "serious buckaroo" department, and if people complain, I'll send them to you! ;)
