Very timely blog for me. I enjoy reading about how other bloggers get their ideas for blog topics.

I’m approaching my 100th blog, so keeping it fresh is very important.

Thanks for the blog ideas.

Jannie – Hi! Thanks for visiting the blog and leaving a comment! Wow, a Canadian living in Texas — that must be some culture shock. Unless you were from Alberta originally maybe? I’d like to hear about your 20-something job experiences!!

Number 5… oh, maybe that’s why my old office jobs in my early 20s didn’t go so well. All that under-the-desk activities.

Actually, WONDERFUL list. Agree on the gossip. Well, I agree on all, really.

Cool beans!

So glad I clicked on your gravatar over at Let’s Live Forever! What a nice treat of a writer you are to stumble on.

Violetsky – Um.. sorry? I don’t bend, fold or write on my newspapers and they leave dishes all black when you use them for packing. I like to read them, though and sometimes clip things.

Louise – Why don’t you do a post comprised of all your half-written posts?

Becky – Oh! You should write them down before they disappear altogether. Things tend to do that if they swirl around in heads too long, I find.

Helen – Thanks!

Geewits – I’m not sure that I’d call it organized, but I feel a certain obligation to my blog to post at least 3 times a week and to try to post something some people might actually enjoy reading. I don’t know where this sense of obligation comes from exactly because really, I could just not post for weeks or ever again and nothing much would happen in the general scheme of things. I guess it’s just something I’ve promised myself to do. Your approach seems to work just as well though because your posts are always interesting and entertaining and often surprising.

Linda – Not a reporter, I think – more like my brain just sucks up stuff like a vacuum wherever it goes and then reassembles it into other stuff. But you live in a place full of marvellous stuff. Your photos and observances are always so rich and charming and exotic – at least to a North American.

Cedar – I’ll try to do more numbered posts just for you.

LSG – The internet has information about everything; I just pick and choose what I think will sound good. This in no way should be construed as actual fact. And, poor you and the dog house. Perhaps if you did another post about The Most Wonderful Woman in the World, you’d be forgiven?

Thank you for sharing your blogging wisdom. Your posts are always so well researched. My question is how to do all that and still have time to sleep at night?

Incidentally, I just learned an important fact. When making a list of RANDOM things that you enjoy, make sure “spending time with wife” is in the number one spot and NOT the number three spot.

My protests that it was a RANDOM list (and therefore not in order of importance) has not kept me from getting better acquainted with the dog house.

I love things that are numbered, I really do.

I’m always walking around keeping my eyes and ears open for blogging fodder. I never have the variety of subjects in my blog that you do though. You seem to have the brain of a reporter.

Like Jazz, I just post when I feel like saying something, but I guess I feel “chatty” pretty often. Sometimes I just want some outside opinions and sometimes I feel kinda proud of myself after a project and want to show it off. Sometimes I just think something is goofy fun. I’ve never really felt the need to post or find something to post about. Usually I have 3 or 4 subjects I want to discuss and it takes me a few days to make a decision. And sometimes when I can’t make a decison, I just toss them all into an unconstructed stew of stuff. You sound way more organized than me!

Can’t think of anything to write but wanted to say that this post was interesting! P
