Does anyone else have difficulty in thinking of a title for posts?
I thought of "Holy Crap, Look How Long It's Been Since I Posted!", but that seemed a bit silly given the fact that it's clear how long it's been since I posted. Pointing it out, particularly in a title, simply emphasizes the fact that I have absolutely no clue what I'm going to write about. The fact that statement is absolutely true has no bearing on the issue.
Maybe "Hi Again, It's Me"?
Yeah, I know. Trite. Silly. And, once again, clearly indicative of a lack of creative thought and an inability to produce purposeful prose.
"On My Bookshelf/Nightstand/Coffee Table"?
Well, that one might be okay if it wasn't a blatant rip-off of others' more insightful blogs. Then again, I could possibly live with unethical title poaching if I were reading something incredibly edifying and intellectual. I'm thinking that the chick lit fare that I've been reading lately doesn't quite qualify. In fact I recently spent precious moments before heading out to an appointment, late since I'm always late, desperately searching for something that at least looked like I might have a brain cell or two left to read in a waiting room where I was expected to spend some time. I ended up poaching my middle daughter's bookshelf where one can always find something thought provoking, intellectual and acceptable to carry in public.
You know, I don't even think she knows what 'chick lit' is. Although, let's be frank with each other - just how many books can we be expected to read to suitably enrich our understanding of the downtrodden, oppressed, or otherwise endangered peoples of the world in any given month?
Yeah. You know I ditched the book for the People magazine with Brad and Angelina on the cover the second I got in the office.
"I'd Love to Write But Things Have Been "Challenging" Here to Say the Least"?
Wordy and, come on, what a clunker of a downer. Who wants to read that? And, from an author's standpoint, who wants to be on the other end of the fallout that would surely ensue after "challenges" have been duly noted and explored? No. The "tell-all" blog and its variously easily written titles are not for me.
Well, I guess it'll just have to be . . . umm . . .
Hell. I have absolutely no idea. I'll think of something. Someday.

How 'bout "Coma's Over"? Or "The Safari was Fun'? Something to invoke interest in the time gap.......who cares if its true? Or you could just call it "Wednesday"...boring I know.
HOLY CRAP YOU POSTED!
You know, I bet middle daughter has a stash of romance novels hidden behind a false panel in the back of her closet. Just because we never saw it doesn't mean it's not there!
"May to September, have you missed me?"
Excited to be blogging buddies, keep um coming!
I think Becca said it best. I'm so glad you're back in the blogging game, my friend- It's about freaking time! Don't think about it so much. Just do it. Just write something and hit POST. If it comes out of your brain and through your fingers it'll be worth reading. Honest.
Love, Angie
