Every day as I "meander" (okay, "plough") thoughout the minutes and hours I constantly think "I could blog about this..." or "ooohhhhh oh yes, I could definitely write about THAT" which is only to be followed promptly by forgetting what exactly was so momentous that lightbulbs dimmed the rest of my cranial action.
Last night at ToastMasters during Table Topics (the time when you may choose to participate in making up a spur-of-the-minute 1 to 2 minute speech about whatever is written on the slip of paper given to you about a minute before you have to stand and blither) my topic was "something exciting to me". Well, previously (as in pre-kids, or maybe more realistically: pre-mortgage) excitement paraded itself in "big ticket" items. Vladmir's castle perched amongst the rolling hills of Romania after being royally ripped off by train "police" demanding a second payment, my first straight-from-the-factory VW, that sort of, well, superfluous "stuff"...Now? What is exciting now? Informing the mainly-female audience I shared that yesterday's hugely exciting moment, lame though it may be, involved previously leaving my bathroom after using the last shred of toilet paper on the roll and returning mid-day to discover a brand new role strapped into its silver holster....THAT WASN'T REPLACED BY MOI!
You have to admit that IS fairly exciting...
