Blog Challenge Day 6? Maybe....
This Blog Challenge went to hell on an
express train. After some consideration it has become abundantly clear that I
don’t do things worth blogging about… at the moment. I was going to review a
book then I was like but what book? Then I got distracted with writing. I wrote
five stellar pages. Then I decided I was tired and went to bed with my puppies.
But tonight I vowed to write something and
not totally give up. I’m home alone right now. I get to play designated driver
tonight with my parents and brother. Should be fun. Two bars, three people,
should be easily managed.
In the mean time I shall bore you with
activities of today. I went to a bookstore. I’ve got a birthday party for a 6
year old to go to in like 2 weeks. He’s my brother’s girlfriend’s son and he’s
just the cutest thing ever. So I was thinking what to get a little kid. I can’t
toy shop for my life for a little boy. I was going to get a star named after
him, then surprise surprise you don’t actually name a star you just pay for the
fancy paper certificate. Boooo. I settled on a book a month for a whole year.
I could have done it through a website, but
1 that was expensive and 2 the book choices were sucky. So while my mum and I
were out today I made us stop Barns and Nobles. I spent about 2 hours in the
kids section looking for books. I had to google the authors of a few of my
childhood favourites like Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel and the Miss.
Nelson stories. Then I read through new ones I’d found that looked cool and I
wanted to make sure they weren’t shitty or too tough for a kid to understand
and/or read. Over all it was 2 hours well spent.
I’m off to the post office tomorrow to grab
envelopes. Then I’ll write something cool in the books and warp them up all
cool like. Set a reminder in my phone and put the books in a half inconvenient
place (like the side table in the dining room) so I don’t lose them or forget
about them. After all I’ve got to remember them for a whole year.
Well picking up the parents has thrown off
my mojo so it’s good-bye for the night!
Cheers,
