Lack of Creativity, Working at Home and Bagpipes

Sorry for the lack of posting lately.  A few weeks ago, I was having bursts of creative thoughts at all times of the day and night.  My mind was on overload and I spent a good part of every day searching for paper on which to write my amazing ideas.

So then I bought a cute little idea journal- a place where I could write and store and keep all these ideas.

I was oh-so excited to start filling it.  But then my good friend irony paid a visit (or at least I think it’s irony.  I always thought I understood the definition of irony, but on the TV show Castle, the character Castle frequently bemoans the general public’s lack of understanding when it comes to the definition of irony.) and my idea notebook has sat empty for weeks.

But here’s an idea:  Don’t you love this shirt?

My uber creative sister in law, Raquel, concocted it from her brain and scraps of material.  I should take a closer picture so you can really see how cute it is.  (But I probably won’t.  Along with my lack of ideas, I’m kind of lazy these days.)  Would you pay for a shirt like this?  Cuz I would.  And I think Raquel should be selling these.

I have managed to get a few things written, if you’re interested.  This week, on www.alwayssomethingtotalkabout.com, we’re talking about working moms, work at home moms and stay at home moms.  I shared my frustrating experiences of being a work at home mom and tried to find some positives.

Also, check out my take on the Chase Home Museum at Visit Salt Lake.  You can read my post here.  It’s a delightful museum that more people should know about.  Plus, they do free outdoor concerts every Monday during the summer.  Next Monday is a Scottish group.  We’ll be there, for sure, being the crazy bagpipe lovers that we are.  (Once, in a student apartment, a guy was out practicing his bagpipe on his balcony.  I now realize that was probably a little bit strange for him to do, but I was like a bug to light, I tell you.  I ran over to watch and very nearly went up to his apartment to ask him out on a date.  I am a tidge shy, though, so the date never materialized.  No regrets.  I have the man I want and need- even if he completely lacks any form of bagpipe ability.)
