I have a hard time writing - or even talking - about the little nuances of my day to day life.

No, really.

If you ask me how my day was, I will likely tell you it was “fine”. And if you read my blog on a regular basis, you’re only going to get snippets from my actual life. For the most part, it’s just the highs and lows. The things that make me angry, make me laugh, or block my thoughts to the point that I cannot possibly form another coherent thought until I have fully vetted and fleshed out that particular brain buster.

My life is pretty routine. It’s not typically anything more or less extraordinary than anyone else’s life. In fact, I’d venture to guess it’s probably less exciting than a whole bunch of other daily routines out there based on nothing more than the fact that I have one. A routine, that is.

I simply cannot imagine that anyone would actually be interested in what I did today.

What that means is that this here blog tends to give a picture of my life that more closely resembles the scraps on a cutting room floor than an accurate documentary of my life. The shit that winds up here rarely even makes the highlight reel because this is where I work it all out. This is where I run the drills and practice the principles. This where I run in circles, but rarely do you see the daily race.

Which is why, sometimes, I forget to tell you that Oh, Yeah, Jared and I are fine - why do you ask?

And I never think to mention that I recently plunked down a metric ass ton of cash to fly home for Christmas.

And I completely neglected to tell you about the day my husband drove into my car.

Oh yes. He did. And if you’re thinking it doesn’t look that bad it’s because you’re not trying to open the fucking passenger side door. Which? By the way? No longer fucking opens!

Both panels are banged up to the point that they will need to be replaced. My insurance will happily cover it with the addition of my $500 deductible.

Did I mention I bought plane tickets? For Christmas? That holiday with gift giving that’s coming up soon? How about December 14th? Oh, you don’t know what December 14th is? That would be my son’s birthday, which is coming up just 11 damn days before Christmas.

Yeah. So. Sorry I forgot to tell you that.

On Saturday, November 15th, Join The Impact organized protests in every state in the United States and across Canada. People came out to protest the passing of Proposition 8 in California (and similar ballot initiatives in other states - including Florida) and support gay rights.

I took my two kids to the event in Orlando.

You can see more pictures from the Orlando protest on my Flickr set.

Do you know what is my biggest blogging pet peeve?

When people just randomly throw up pictures of their kids or family members or friends and are all “Oh, look! Isn’t So and So awesome?!?!” and you’re all “Uh… I guess you had to be there.”

Or what about when every parent on the freaking planet feels the need to do the blow by blow “You’ll never guess what WE did this weekend?!?!” on the Monday after a major holiday? I mean seriously, how many times can we be expected to say “Oh, wow, they have Halloween in Arizona too?!?! NO WAY!!”

GAH! I hate that! One day I’m going to breakdown and leave the comment we all really want to leave that says “this would only be interesting if I was your mother!”

I mean, do these bloggers really think random strangers give two craps about random pictures of random people in your life? Like you’re Brad freaking Pitt or something and “Oh my God! Look! Your kids walk up right too! Oooh!”

Don’t you just hate that? I know.
