I hate when bloggers start their posts by saying, “It’s been a long time since I’ve written here…” I think to myself: You know what? Nobody missed you. I didn’t miss you, and probably the people who read you regularly or subscribe to your feed didn’t miss you either. We have our own lives. We … Continue reading Nobody Cares When You Leave Facebook

I Care What You Had For Lunch
Today I was thinking again about that silly book: No One Cares What You Had For Lunch. I think of that book a lot. I wonder if I still have it. Or did I give it away in a fit of manic bookshelf cleaning? If it’s still in print I think I’ll order it again. … Continue reading I Care What You Had For Lunch
This Blog Is Ten Years Old
This blog is 10 years old this month. Who knew?? I didn’t even realize it until yesterday. I was reading through the archives of a blog I just discovered. The author’s archives went back to 2012. It made me wonder how far mine went back, so I checked. And lo and behold, February of … Continue reading This Blog Is Ten Years Old
Writing Is Like Cleaning The Toilet
I’m having resistance posting on this blog. So let me remind myself why I set this as a year-end goal in the first place. What was my why for this one? Frankly, I don’t remember. But my 3 main reasons for starting any project are: 1. To see if I can endure or persist over … Continue reading Writing Is Like Cleaning The Toilet
Today This Is How It Rolled
This blog is my platform. Every day I step up on it and I say something. I sort of "busk" on it. I don't have a hat, but I do make a bid for your attention. I make an offering. I put something out into the world. Some small thing. Most days less than 1000 … Continue reading Today This Is How It Rolled
Crazy Puppet Blogger
I need to figure out what this blog is about. I am writing it everyday, which is now up to, what? some 70 days in a row? But it still hasn't found its niche or its voice yet. I feel like a puppeteer. I can give voices to different parts of my personality. I have … Continue reading Crazy Puppet Blogger
Wondering Why I Blog
This blog is still such a mystery to me. I wish I knew what I was doing. I wish I knew WHY I write it. I think one way I try to look at blog content is through the lens of: What can I help you with today? What is a problem you are currently … Continue reading Wondering Why I Blog
Blog as Fun House Mirror
So here was an interesting conversation I had with my stylist the other day. I sit down and she says, "So how is everything in Mansfield?" And it just came out of my mouth, "How the hell should I know? I don't live in "Mansfield," I live in my own little Kath bubble. ( I … Continue reading Blog as Fun House Mirror
Just a little “streak keeper” post
My eyelid is better. I think the culprit may be the moisturizing oil I use on my face. I love this stuff and I have been using it for well over a year now with great results, but I think it turned on me. I tried not using it yesterday, and using the stuff I … Continue reading Just a little “streak keeper” post
Blogging to Failure
G is coming home tonight. They dropped the last 2 games. The night before the games she said on the phone, “We need to split.” Then they didn’t. They lost both. (I don’t know what “need” means in this context.) It doesn’t matter. What I want to tell her is that I am envious of … Continue reading Blogging to Failure
