Last night my housemates (minus one) and I sat up for conversation. It was a good time of nonsense aided mostly by Lorne's evening diet of scotch. Rose and I drank water and laughed at him when he'd clearly had a little fun. Lorne's a fun guy so really it didn't take much and I'm not sure how much the scotch was to blame but it was fun to poke at that as the reason anyway.
We talked about lots of random things, as is customary late at night. And I remember some of it. The next door neighbors just had a baby so we spoke a bit of the little one, and then about our weeks some, and then of messy rooms. Rose began that conversation and I followed her. I've been so incredibly unable to organize my room since I moved in here nine months ago that the people I live with must really think I'm a slob. I said I'd decided I needed shelves or a garbage bag. But Lorne's scotch made him unavailable for the first part of the conversation and all he heard was that I needed shelves or garbage bags. Watching him try to make sense of that threw Rose and I into a fit of laughter that brought her (and nearly me) to tears.
Once Lorne was brought up to speed we all decided that I'll write an Idiot's Guide to Organization someday titled "Shelves or Garbage Bag?" It will be quite simple and only have four pages (I added one today guys - and I came up with a picture for the first one...) The dedication page (obviously To Rose, Lorne, and Scotch). The first page will a picture be of an unorganized room with the words "Can't get organized? You've got two options." Page 3: Picture of some burly guy building shelves. One word: "Shelves." Page 4: Picture of a small woman holding trash bag with the words "Or a big black garbage bag."
I think it would be very successful. But if you steal my idea and I see it published before I get to it I'll come after you for copyright infringement!
Back in college, in 2004 when blogging was hardly even a thing yet, I was here. Blogging before blogging meant anything to anyone. You can look in the archives for my past writings, but it was much more like a journal in the past. When we started fundraising, I messed around with the idea of launching something new for this new phase of our journey but actually hated that idea. I am a sum of all of my life and so much of it is here already. So I'm keeping it here. At least for now.
My main focus these days is blogging about our newest journey into the bizarre and wonderful world of gestational surrogacy. Posts dated 2013 and forward will trend heavily toward that journey. I don't promise everything I write will be about though. There might be other things that sneak in occasionally.
Please come along our journey with us. As the saying goes, "The more, the merrier!"
