Everything you always wanted to know about nothing

I was trying to daydream, but my mind kept wandering.

~Steven Wright~

I've been trying to come up with a topic for a blog for a few days but my mind seems to be a total blank.  Well, okay, maybe not a TOTAL blank but you get my point.  There seems to be a lot of 'what if' and 'why' questions in my head but no filler, so to speak, to go with them.

I think that one of my problems is that I've got two projects going and my mind wanders from one to the other.  I want to get them both done - NOW - and it's just not happening.  Have I ever mentioned that I'm totally into instant gratification and that I hate that about myself?

One of my projects involves writing poetry and it's turned out to be more of a challenge than I expected.  Putting sentences together with words that rhyme at the end isn't so tough.  but what I'm trying to do is personalize poems about people I don't know and that's not all that easy.  Still, it's quite satisfying when I do get one finished.

The other project I'm working on is a surprise for my family so I won't talk about that one except to say that it's easier (for me, anyway) than the poetry.

And then there's my genealogy research.  I'm banging my head against brick wall after brick wall and just don't understand why all of my ancestors didn't know that I'd be looking for them and leave me some kind of paper trail to use in finding them.  They are all SO going to get a piece of my mind when I get to the other side.

So, there ya go.  Guess I'll see if I can get more focused and... Wow! I just wrote a blog about why I haven't been able to write a blog.  Man, I'm good :^)
