I need to crank things up. This blog is stale. Boring. A real snooze fest. I even bore myself. *Yawns* I was thinkin...Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz... Hum. Miranda's hair (yes, I knew it was a bad hair day and I DIDN'T CARE), Charlotte's dress, Samantha's stance, and Carrie's, uh, forearms? Moving on... So here are some ideas for blog posts:
Oh, sorry. I nodded off.
We had Big Very Important Meetings at work this week. Last week, in discussing a Plenary session for Tuesday, my boss said he wanted me to introduce a particular video segment. He said to say something like *insert vague indecipherable example from boss*
"You want it to be funny and you're asking ME?" I started laughing, "That's funny!"
He laughed too.
OK so funny is out, at least consistent funny.
So let's run the options for this here patch of the Internetz. I could blog more about sex. Wait, have I ever blogged about sex? Never mind.
I've considered how I might write one or two completely outrageous posts per week, something that really gets people going. But I'm just not a Rosie O'Donnell type.
I've considered just keeping it to my own random musings and pictures of my kids, in which case my mom will keep reading. The kids are cute though.
I've considered the fact that I'm confused. This blog has revealed many things to me about myself. One of them is that I really possibly have an identity crisis.
Am I a nature girl? Yes. Am I a city girl? Yes. Am I at stay-home cookie baking mom? Yes. Am I a career mom? Yes. Am I conservative? Yes. In every way? No. Do I want to live in town? Yes. Do I want to live in the country? Yes. Do I want my next vacation at a Ritz? Yes. Do I want my next vacation to be a hike in the wilderness? Yes. Do I want to use public transportation? Yes. Do I want to drive my luxury SUV? Yes. Do I want to plant a garden? Yes. Do I want workers to come and plant my garden for me? Yes. Do I want a cottage style house? Yes. Do I want an English Tudor style home? Yes. Do I want a Brownstone? Yes. Farmhouse? Yes. Enormous Brick Square? Got that. Do I want to buy clothes at Ann Taylor? Yes. Do I want to buy clothes at Territory Ahead? Yes. Do I want to buy clothes at Bebe? Yes. (I just want to buy clothes.) Bikini? Thong? Boy Shorts? Commando? Yes. Yes. Yes. Sometimes.
There was a thing in a magazine I read that asked what kind of shoe you would be, if you were a shoe.
Stiletto
Tennis Shoe
Flip Flop
Mary Jane
Loafer
Pump (don't be ignorant -- no dirty jokes)
Work Boot
Whatever. I don't remember the exact choices. I said aloud, "Hum, am I a stiletto or a flip flop?" P heard me and said, "Oh don't even tell me you are a flip flop!" (He thinks they only belong on the beach and any other flip flop wearing is just plain sloppy. Yes, even those black ones with the Swarovski crystal straps that are like $150.)
I think I am a Stiletto. I wear them almost daily. But I want to be a hiking boot or a cross trainer! Am I really a stiletto? What about that bothers me so much?
I did the thing on Facebook where you answer stupid shallow questions (FUN!) and it tells you which character on Sex in the City you are and I was slightly horrified to discover that I'm Carrie! I don't know, I guess I thought Charlotte maybe? Must have been the sex questions. I do appreciate completely this Carrie quote:
"I like my money right where I can see it... hanging in my closet."

Shoes. I have some completely awesome shoes. I might get a pedicure and post shoe pictures. Yep. All amazing stilettos. (OK, Carrie is coming into focus just a bit here.)
Vintage. I have some incredible vintage clothes. I could post pictures of how to wear vintage in everyday life and not look like you are wearing a costume.
Tips for Raising Teenagers. Yeah, you seriously don't want me on that right now.
Poetry. HAH! The Death Knell of a Blog! Just joshin' ya.
I'll be writing more about being a working mom, but more about that and where to find it later.
I'm going to continue pondering all this stuff, working on a plan to liven the place up a bit.
Send ideas if you have them!
Smootches! Have a Happy Easter!

I am interested in hearing about being a working mom. And your shoes. And vintage clothing. You are interesting- just go for it!
I think you are incredibly fascinating and way to work that black dress hot mama!
Seriously if you can walk in stilettos you are my hero. I think I'm a flip flop.
p.s. I am in desperate need of a pedicure. Thank you for reminding me! ;)
Remind me when we go to lunch to not wear my TJ Maxx special Keds lesbian black loafers that I need to just burn already. ;)
Shoes, cute kid pix, riffs on the joys of working moms, and throw in the occasional raising teenager tip -- it's all good! Seriously, why try to compartmentalize yourself in your blog? It's more fun for everyone(including you) if you don't.
IF YOU are not interesting, I'm a size 0! You always have something comical or intriquing to post.
I'd like to hear how a working Mom gets it all done after a full day of work! Your audience awaits!
Stale?? Hardly. And, you must come and find me in Facebook world. I'll lose to you in Scrabble. That will be a post all of its own.
We are all different people on different days. It is just how things work.
It's hard to know what to write sometimes.I try to just tell one story a day. The end. I hope someday it is meaningful to my kids, that's all.
You never bore me! And sorry, I have no ideas. I guess I'll just be stealing some of yours, instead...
Honestly, I like pretty much all of those post ideas. I would love to see your vintage clothes and I can always use some fashun advice.
Happy Easter!
DANG Amy At Work,
not only are you not boring---you look fab whilst doing it.
My monday facetime is the MizFit at work.
not pretty, my friend (and SURELY sans-wrapdress)
M.
I think the bloggy plateau is making its round or something. I'm so blah about my own blog and life keeps going. Time! Oh the time! Sigh.
I'm feeling very ambivalent about my own right now or else I would throw out some ideas too.
