I know it’s time to give up blogging when….the blogging mainstream is video blogging, I’m just not doing that. I’ve seen quite a few video posts on people’s blog and to that I say, not me! 
Several times I thought about ending my online life, but then I woke up the next day and thought: you fool! Actually I did get rid of a few blogs I authored, but I’m not ready to give up on this one.
Anywho, a big THANK YOU to everyone who left a comment and shared a thought or personal experience on my previous post. Your comments were a big help to me and will always remain the best part of blogging.
The baby is fine, mommy is just going through the terrible twos. So I’ll continue to be the diligent caretaker, other times I’ll allow her to take long naps and some times I’ll leave her in the capable hands of a CPR certified babysitter.
When I was writing this post a weird crazy funny thought popped into my head about my mom and the newspaper. She reads the obituaries like it’s MySpace for the up in age, but instead of adding friends, you delete them. I thought it would be cool if there were an online area where blogs could go to die. We could search for blogs that suddenly disappear or when we’re ready to throw in the towel, we could submit a snapshot of our blog and onlookers could mourn in the comment section. We could give our blogs a “proper burial” complete with obituary and all.

I’m tired of looking at that week old post just like you, so I’m throwing in a filler. Maybe S.A.D. has come early for me this year. Right now, I would be quite content curling up in a dark cave and taking a long nap.
Of course, my sleep pattern is off. When I go to bed at 10:00 p.m., getting up the next morning is a struggle. When I go to bed after 12, I bounce out of bed at 5 a.m. with no problem. Weird right? I wasn’t always like this and according to my daughter the reason is because I’m from Mars.
For me, the onset of Winter is about warmth, cuddling, staying in bed, less light and a decrease in activity. Cramped areas are also very appealing, especially spaces like underneath my desk at work. I can’t do that now, my current employer would be mortified to find me crawling out from under my desk! However, during lunch at my previous job, I would often lounge underneath my desk, with a book or just my dreams, and take a nap.
Okay, maybe I am from Mars, but I saw a co-worker do this and decided to try it. I was just cautious enough not to get caught.
Do you have any seasonal behavioral changes you go through or are you much the same all year round?

When the cashier at your local grocery says to you, paper or plastic they really want to know: how are you going to pay for this crap, with paper or plastic money!
Yesterday, I spent 35 minutes of my lunch hour putting groceries in my shopping cart and drooling on the box of brownies I was going to bake.
Fortunately before I put my stuff on the conveyor belt, I looked in my wallet for my debit card because I hate when people reach the cashier and act like they do not know they have to pay. You know they want your money, give it to them! Have your MOP (method of payment) ready!
Oh and don’t write a check and ask who to make it out to! You’re in Shop-Rite, take a guess. I can’t work with the public, I have a low tolerance for questions and would end up beating somebody with a loaf of bread. Okay pet peeve.
However, after realizing that I had neither paper or plastic MOP, I sheepishly spent the next 5 minutes putting some of the groceries back and left the rest in the proverbial “Isle 5.”
So, while most people were leaving with smiles and a few days worth of groceries, I left with a bottle of Tide and a box of Junior Mints. I am 37 today, what was my excuse yesterday?
