I argued with my niece Annie that my life has nothing to blog about. If I were, to say, live around grandchildren I could make you so impressed with mine and unimpressed with yours that you would go to bed tonight feeling slightly bad about yourself. And you would think that there were indeed perfect people out there and you are INDEED a slub on the fabric of your life. I think my exact words to Annie were:
"Do you REALLY want to hear about how I killed a spider with my backscratcher and now I have to use the handle end to scratch my back so I don't get spider guts or the thought of spider guts on my back which transfers to my nightgown which transfers to my sheets which interrupts my TV watching in bed.?"
Ok. Not my exact words because remember people can embellish on blogs and remember what I said about how I threatened to make you feel about your grandkids? I mean it people. I might become desparate.
I might be desperate because I am finding that I am obsolete. Blogging Obsolete. First of all when I came in here last week to post, the landscape of blogspot.com had changed (don't get me wrong, it needed to....I had frustrations) and the changes left me feeling like I was the Rumpelstiltskin of Bloggers and that in my 25 year sleep they had changed the way to do everything on this sight. I can't get from place to place. I can't import pictures...really great pictures. I just don't have the fight in me people. I don't have anyone to kill my spiders OR scratch my back and now this. GeezeLouize
I had a great blog planned for this week. Glitch was here visiting. We visited The Grandmother who is 88 or 89 (Her age is a question mark because she has two birth certificates...and she works this fact to her advantage whenever she can so now SHE doesn't even know how old she is...) GloBug took Pictures and sent them to me. I had a picture of GrandmaLoveIt sitting as close to Gitch as she possibly could without sitting directly on his lap. Glitch was laughing and he really has a terrific smile which you might have enjoyed. I had a picture of Gitch protecting his earlobes from a earlobe chewing crazy person in their late 80's. I DID NOT have a picture of said Crazy firmly reiterating that she HAS NOT been to a garage sale in over 6 MONTHS. 6 MONTHS people! I had a picture of Grandmaloveits' dining room table which contained the following items:
An Autumn Leaf Magnetic Mailbox Cover
A Red Teddy Bear
A Giant Clothespin
A Cement House Ornament with a Bird on it that says Flycatcher underneath the Pink silk Flowers it holds
A Brass Bell
A Glass Candelabra
A Porcelain Egg that opens to Hold Crap
A vase of fake tulips
A Christmas Ornament with Jake's name on it in the shape of an airplane
More glass stuff
Yeah. All this and no not one garage sale. It would have been a sweet blog. Only I COULDN'T SEEM TO GET THE PICTURES TRANSFERRED FROM MY COMPUTER TO MY BLOG. Yeah. I'm THAT stupid.
I can't even find out how to go in and edit blogs.
I can't move around the site.
I'm starting to feel like a slub on the fabric of my life and it pretty much stinks because my job is to make you, the reader feel like that.
Go me.

We are glad you're back! It was great to see you in person, you look fabulous and are as funny as ever! Keep the posts coming.
We can work on your blogging skills over facetime or something. Have no fear mommacita -you can be the best blogger if you put your mind to it! I must see Grandma-love-it trying to nibble on some 27 year old earlobes. I must!!
Yes! I agree that the new Blogger is whack. We can't let this stand in your way of bloggyness. Call me!
And for the record, I love the spider-back-scratch story. Like, a lot. Also, Grandma Loveits dining room table contents are genius. As are you.
Oh how I have missed you. . . .and yes I want to see this dining room table. Things that make you see the blessings of dying before you become a CRAZY. . . You go with your dining room table dignity in tact.
