writer's block

-
can you believe I have nothing to say? me, of all people? I hit the "new post" button, and I have been staring at this white expanse, but ...nothing. I want to write something clever or funny or serious and moving, perhaps something that shows off my Engligh-major vocabulary of SAT words. but I can't think of anything funny enough, or clever enough, to warrant the time it takes to write it...or read it. so I sit her contemplating the whiteness ...I mean, what's with me? I always have something to say, even if it's an inane comment about the news or the weather or whatever...how could this be happening to me? the whiteness of the cyber page stares back at me, but the thoughts don't come. I can't think of a witicism to share, a news story that earned my anger, a story that moved me to tears.

I am as blank as the page before me.

    Happens to me all the time. Somewhat thankfully, I have enough craziness that something always comes up.
    I wanted to also let you know that I posted an update to the mercury situation. No school tomorrow... Can you hear my kids celebrating up there?

    Well HI! You sure wrote a lot of words for being plum out of them. :)

    Writing begets writing ya know.

    Try this...since you have the vocabulary...I had to take a survey for work and it wanted me to select from a list of 100 words that best described my personality (did you know I'm loquatious? Then 100 words to choose from to select the ones that were most important to do my job.

    Give that some thought...where does your personality differ from what's important to do your job? I'm crazy with taxes so email me when you've got it up. Should be fun to read about.

It’s all coming back to me now

 So you should know that I am not a “shopper”.  I live in shopping mall heaven — I’m ten minutes from the Broadway Mall,  15 from Roosevelt Field and 25 from Whitman Shoppes — but I seldom go to the mall.  I prefer to shop on line.  And when I do venture into a store, I usually know what I want and buy it as quickly as possible.  I’m not one to browse through stores just to see what’s for sale. There’s a local chain,  Baked By Melissa , that specializes in mini cupcakes.  They’re primarily in Manhattan.  A few years ago Becca introduced me to their product - delicate little cakes, exquisitely decorated, very tasty.  I walk past their shop on 7th Avenue whenever we go to the theater. Well, last week I remembered that they used to have a second shop on 7th, right next to the original shop, but selling gluten-free versions of all their cupcakes. The gluten-free shop closed, but the company continues to make a gluten-free version of their product. So I thought that gluten-free cupcakes wou

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.

Ultimate Blog Party!!!!

thanks to suzanne , I decided to join the party. I got into blogging last year because of Suzanne. I've known her on message boards for awhile, but I've gotten to know her much better since entering the blogosphere. I've also met several others whose blogs I am starting to love, and look forward to meeting even more bloggers now that I've joined the party. So I guess that means I have to introduce myself. I am a single mom from Long Island. My older daughter, Jen, is a college freshman, going to school in New England. Younger daughter, Becca, is a high school junior. I am also an attorney with an insurance company, with offices in Jersey City, NJ, a really "wonderful" commute. I sit on the board of trustees at my synagogue (which means I do a lot of volunteer work there!), and I am active in various fundraisers for the American Cancer Society, currently planning for this year's Relay for Life. I like ot take photos, so you'll see many of them in
