What is it about my blog that keeps me from writing anything? I used to love this thing but now every time I think I have something to blog about, I sit down and discover…I am the most boring person I know. Furthermore, I think I’ve already blogged this exact sentiment before.

The few things that excite me these days are what I’m having for dinner (wait, I’ve always been interested in that), curling up with my sister’s cat, and my new Jeopardy calendar that quizzes me every day. As a matter of fact, my new cube mate at work has to help me exercise restraint when checking the calendar because I just want to keep ripping off days and answering questions. Someone is always helping me with my lack of willpower.

I should say I have plans for the year. Not resolutions. But some plans I’ve had for a while that just happen to coincide with a new year on the calendar. So here is a short list of some thoughts.

1. Take guitar lessons (really, seriously, find someone, get a referral, anything)
2. Learn to sew (Jay is good for this sort of thing, I already stole my mom’s sewing machine)
3. Sew the quilt for Jay in time for his October birthday (which means the last week of September Maria or Leah will be telling me, “I told you it would take longer than two weeks, forget it.”)
4. Check out the local pool in order to do cardio during the winter (the beauty of this is that I only have to check it out, I don’t have to commit).
5. If pool falls through, check out local aerobics classes (or yoga, or pilates, or just stop sitting on your bed watching tv for a start).
6. Get the Book Club Review Web Site up and rolling (this is really just a motivation to relearn web design and css).
7. Visit Kris in Portland to have 1on1 Photoshop lesson (and eat Kornplatz oatmeal while there).
8. See if you can’t make that room in the basement something workable for guests and a getaway.
9. Or maybe just save some more money and buy your own damn place.
10. Come up with one more thing so you can have a nice list of ten things.

I will be spending the next month going to and from Bremerton on the hour long ferry every morning for work. I am not happy about this. The upside is that I am working in the Behavioral Health building/department and they are always more fun. Or maybe I just like being that close to people who are more messed up than I am. Then again, are they?

Lastly, for the record, I am content. I may sound down and out, but life is good. I love living with my sister Marie and I know my job is a relatively good one as jobs go. I miss my walks with Michelle, but as soon as the weather warms up a bit we’ll get back to them. I had an amazing visit to Boston and saw Kamala and Jennie (separately). And I think I may have mentioned that I went to my 10 year high school reunion and it was one of the best vacations I’ve had in a while. And to think I hadn’t even wanted to go.

So life is good. I’m just bored.
