Top 10 Blogs I Didn't Write Today

When I sit down every night to write my post, I never know what's going to come out.  Something my husband V said to me 2 minutes ago?  Something in the news that made me cringe today when I read it on the internet?  Something that woke me up out of a dream early this morning?  Something I thought of 3 weeks ago that I wrote on a scrap of paper and found under the book on my nightstand? 

What I end up writing every night is often as much a surprise to me as it is to you.  Not only is the subject matter an open question; it also depends on my mood at the moment.  Am I inspired?  Nostalgic?  Amused?  Do I feel a rant coming on? 

So many decisions.  Especially for a notoriously  indecisive person.  Although I LOVE to blog, my least favorite part is deciding what to write.

As they say....It is now post time.  And here's my list of the Top 10 blogs I considered writing today.  I could also include the reasons I didn't write those blogs but I thought I'd spare you some of what goes on inside my brain since you get a pretty heavy dose as it is.

#10.  My feelings about Barack Obama's amazing speech tonight; and my worries about the election

#9.  How often in an election we vote AGAINST someone rather than FOR someone

#8.  Joe Biden as a widower raising his children alone--and my father who had the same experience

#7  The fact that I missed Joe Biden's speech last night because I was watching Project Runway

#6  Why I was watching Project Runway

#5  A further exploration of the ice-bound river breaking up that I compared to creativity by calling it an analogy even though it is actually a metaphor

#4  My indecisiveness about whether or not I should correct my error of calling it an analogy rather than a metaphor

#3 A status report on my desk, and why a picture is worth a thousand words, and until I learn how to make them larger, my pictures are only worth 500 words

#2  An expansion of the clutter concept: my friend Priscilla suggests a blog about what's in my closet and my daughter Alli suggests listing the items in my car

#1 The fact that my trainer Brian cancelled my workouts for Monday, Wednesday and Friday-- how sorry I am that he is sick, but how grateful that he gave me the perfect excuse not to work out for an entire week

So there's my list.  And since I hate making this decision every night, how about if YOU choose next time??

Darryle, I think you did a great job uploading this picture! Why do we beat ourselves up so much? Maybe this could be a topic!

Just wanted to let you know that after seeing the mess on your desk, I felt better about mine ...
