So I think blogging is great, actually. For me it's a way to stay connected to those of you who read this. That's the best part right there. Blogging is also a good warm up for whatever writing I have to do in a given day. AND (as it turns out) my blog has turned into the equivalent of an artist's sketchbook.
When I was a student in London BACK IN THE MIDDLE AGES, our humanities professor made us carry a sketchbook so we could "seize" our visual impressions. Those of us who were artists (not me) could use these images later in a more detailed drawing. Brill idea, no? Anyway. I've decided to use my blog as a writer's sketchbook. To this end you'll note that sometimes brief posts HERE end up as longer columns on Monday in the D-news. Also brill, no?
I mention this because I was fresh out of column ideas last week. So I re-read old blog entries and decided to do something with that moment of recognition that passed between me and that young mother in Rubio's. And voila! I got a column out of it.
See? Blogging is NOT a waste of time.
Meanwhile I have returned to MY DOUGH GIRL. Every. Single. Day. This. Week.

This blog is sort of like when comedians go to a private club to try out new material..
Think of us as your private club....
And seriously all you have to do is say, "Your welcome" and I fall down. I love it when you take a spear for us all.
It leaves one less thing for me to do today...
But seriously, have the word verifications become disturbing to anyone else? I am certain I just spelled out something ghastly...and illegal.
Sketchbook, yes. If you start scrapbooking, I'm calling your doctor.
How on earth do you eat like that and still be the cutest thing on the planet?
Eat sugar for me. It's just the right thing to do.
Nice re blogging. But really? Cookies every day? without me? Where is the love. I ask you.
Alright, alright... it took some convincing, but Abby and I will hit Dough Girls tomorrow. First we'll go to Costco and get the shrimp platter that we'll snack on in the car before hopping over for our cookie dessert.
I completely agree. I think of blogging as my writing practice, the warm up.
But turning it into something bigger, better? Yes, brill.
