It’s a small world, but I wouldn’t want to paint it

Direct complaints to Mr Lady in regards to Random Mumblings

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, Josh and I lived in a really awful little duplex in Denver. We lived there until just after 2of3 was born. We had these really cool neighbors in the house next door to the awful duplex, and when they sold it, we were sad. They moved away and the new owners moved in. They were a young couple and after a little bit we realized that they rocked, too. And then we moved away. Bygones.

Fast forward 7 years.

So, let’s all pretend for a minute that my laundry is all folded and the dishes are stacked neatly in the cupboards and that my bedroom floor does not have a large sticky spot on it caused from what I can only pray was a popsicle and therefore I totally have my shit together and am left with tons of spare time.

In my excessive amounts of leisure time, I have signed up to do a few things. One is NaNoWriMo. I tried last year with Andy, but damn that sweet sweet wine. If you could write a novel full of giggle-giggle-giggle, Andy and I would have Pulitzers. But this year, I’m doing it. I am going to write a very stupid book in 30 days. And no one will read it. But I’m writing it anyway. You can mock my failure here.

I am also doing NaBloPoMo. That’s a really hard way of saying National Blog Posting Month. I will bore you to tears for 31 straight days in November. I apologize, whole-heartedly, in advance. The NaBloPoMo site is here. Today, I got a friend request on that site (it’s like MySpace for real people) from someone. That someone didn’t know me, I didn’t know her. She just wandered past me online and asked to be my friend *Gush*.

This is where it gets good.

I clicked on her link, and I’ll be a greased Jesus…I totally know her. She is the very same someone who bought the house next to us 7 years ago. She is the same someone who I ran into on my kids’ school playground last year because she and her husband, well, they went and had a kid, too. And very unknowingly, just this very day, she stumbled across yours truly.

Does it get more random than that? I think it doesn’t.

Anyway, here is her blog. It’s seriously good. Like, it’s way better than mine.

    Hey, I signed up for NaBloPoMo too. It will be more of a stretch for me, ’cause I only post a couple of times a week. Except…wait - you’re going to write a novel too? Good lord.

    That is totally wicked awesome!

    If I wasn’t so damn overexteneded already I’d totally take on the NaNoWriMo challenge. Sounds really fun.

    Oh, and I read Jennifer/Playgroup Dropout too. And of course, Chris Cactus. He even linked to me once. My server nearly exploded.
