Fresh Veggies!
I walked to the farmer's market this morning and bought just picked off the vine veggies! Including cherry tomatoes! Squeeee!!! I had a wonderful tomato and mozarella salad for lunch. I also bought chives, asparagus, cucumbers and zuchinni. Yeah for Spring! A friend from church is coming over to eat tonight. Her hubby has been depolyed to Iraq for a year. He's in Kuwait right now acclimating. I have a chicken roasting in the crockpot right now and Greek bread going in the breadmaker. We're going to have chicken salad, Greek buns, and roasted aspagaus, tomatoes and mushrooms. Need to figure out a dessert. I have peaches, so may be peach cobbler? Wish I had ice cream. Or we could take her down for gelato....Any excuse for Michael's wonderful gelato.
Speaking of chickens, I've come to the conclusion that I am one big chicken. One huge, honking coward. I really can talk a big game when it comes to my writing. But then when I actually sit down to write, I pull back. I am afraid of what people will think? What if people I vehemently disagree with find it and start trolling me (and all in the name of Christ mind you)? I like fading into the background and not being noticed, just in case. Of course that does not work very well online. Last week Naomi posted this at IttyBiz:1. Find something you’re so passionate about that people think you’re alarming and kind of creepy.When I worked for Sprint, a Very Enthusiastic Man worked in the department next to mine. He was so Enthusiastic With A Capital E that when we spoke, which was fairly often, I was convinced he was hitting on me. But he wasn’t hitting on me in a normal way. Oh, no. He wanted me to fly a kite with him.
Every day, a new request to go kite flying. Every day, a new discussion of the type of kite that would be just right for me. Every day, another piece of kite tournament trivia.
Eventually, I had to tell him that I didn’t think the direction our relationship was going was appropriate. For one thing, I was engaged. For another, it was really fucking weirding me out.
He gives me this totally perplexed look and says, “I’m not propositioning you. I’m married to the most beautiful girl in the world. I just really like flying kites and I thought you might like it too.”
That is a man who could make a lot of money on the internet.
I never minced words on this blog because it's my personal blog and not too many people know about it. Which is fine by me. But I have to be that way on The Professional Blog too. I can't not want people to see me. I can't be the wallflower and fade into the background anymore. And it's freaking hard! Fortunately in addition Naomi, I have also found Havi and her destuckification blog. Because I have been stuck big time for a long time. But as a result of all this self-examination and wanting to be a better writer and get myself out there, well that means I have to get myself out there. I have to bolder. I have to blog more. And I need to start being slightly nuts over there too. A little too crazy about what I do. Someone might actually find me. And then I will have to figure out that whole comment thing.
