Jump Back On That Horse

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Apparently, blogging is not like riding a bike. When you stop for a while it isn’t so easy to jump right back in like you never stopped. So, I guess, since I never learned how to ride a bike (and I fully expect that to be your only take away here), that for me it is like riding a bike. Now I feel better.

I’ve been so mentally drained from all the writing I’ve been doing the last 3 months at work that I’m not even sure where to begin some days when I tell myself I need to get back to blogging.

Is it possible to be completely out of ideas on what to write about? This blog is becoming just like the Seinfeld pilot pitch - a blog about nothing. I don’t want to get political (although I’m so tired of everyone claiming they know better than all the people who were voted into political office by majority vote). I don’t want to get religious (although I feel like people are using religion these days as an excuse to further their personal causes as opposed to how they live their life). My kids are funny and cute. My life is a regular reality show but, as I’m finding out more and more lately, most of the people in it are a little touchy when they hear the truth that they asked for but weren’t expecting.

What does that leave?

movies? my advice is to steer clear of Paranormal unless you need a nap.

shopping? I don’t have enough time to properly approach that topic. But let me tell you – when you spend an hour putting 27 things in your shopping cart and your cart appears to be saved, you aint seen aggravated until you watch your cart suddenly be declared EMPTY and have to start all over.

I’ll have to figure it out. In the meantime I’ll leave you with this….

When you buy a new car in Fl and it comes with both heated and air-conditioned seats, don’t laugh. I’ve already used the heated seats and I have not had to use the air-conditioned seats yet. And now I’m paranoid that when my kids spill milk or water on the seat while I’m driving, I could be electrocuted.

Go back to the beginning. Take a look at your tag line: “The musings of a city girl gone south” or “Misplaced Jersey Girl…”

You can speak tons about what it takes to get your bearings in a new town, lifestyle, culture, etc. Even though it’s been a while since your transition, I’m sure there are still events or dialogue in your daily life that make your eyes roll and wish you were back home (wherever that may be).

Where places did you go to get acciimated, what foods did you find interesting and what foods did you have to say good-bye to because, let’s face it, where else will you find good NYC pizza, right?

Perhaps, you can even shed some insight into the human condition and how resilient it is when confronted with so many challenges, both personal and professional.

People will always want to be informed, entertained, and enlightened. Keep these things in mind as you try to come up with future blog posts.

Happy blogging!
