We shall. Sometimes you don't need to think of an idea; you just start blogging and something comes to you.
People, I've got nothin'.
I could post about how boring I feel lately, but that would probably be boring. I have a feeling this is a backlash from all the home improvement projects coming to an end (except for the clean-up, which is ongoing and preventing me from taking pictures). The home improvements were so all-encompassing that I now think "what did I do before all that? how did I spend my time? what did I think about?" You can see that I'm talking to myself a lot, but that's fairly normal for me. Either I talk to myself or to the dogs or to the cat, all of whom seem to enjoy all my chattering as well as my singing. I like to make up songs about the dogs and cat, and sometimes about my own activities. This morning, I made up a fabulous song about my own breakfast, very different from the dogs' breakfast song, which uses the tune "Downtown":
When you're a pup
And life is making you hungry
You can always go
Downstairs
When you're a pup
All the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know
Downstairs
Just listen to the tapping of the toenails on the vinyl
Linger in the kitchen where you may receive some crackers
How can you lose?
etc.
Evidently, when I don't have anything to post about, I reveal more of my eccentricities to my gentle readers. Hmm.
I must say, the most exciting thing that has happened to me in the past week or so is that I was invited to guest-blog for the Virginia Festival of the Book. I'll be reading and reviewing Jacqueline Winspear's book, An Incomplete Revenge. J. Winspear will be part of 3 panel discussions at the Bookfest. The one I'm covering is "Crime Wave: Murder, Murder Everywhere" (Friday, March 28, 8 pm in the County Office Building) because I'm sick -- no, because I'm obsessed with mysteries lately and am looking forward to discovering a new author. Well, new to me. This book is J. Winspear's 5th in her series of "Maisie Dobbs" mysteries.
More on all that later.

Yay! VA Festival of the Book. How I wish I were coming again. We'll always have Carr's Hill.
