Tis I again. Your woman on perpetual pause. Clearly I am into alliteration with all the P’s today. But that makes sense because I swear I have peed 100 times since 10am. Granted, information you probably don’t want to know but I am ok with that.
Purpose. I was watching Julie and Julia or vice versa the other day and was then reminded of said blog. I thought to myself, Should I have some sort of purpose or goal for this blog? A goal to be achieved so people will want to come back day in and day out to chart my progress. To see if I have fallen flat on my face or have triumphed over all the odds.
Well. I have no purpose. Actually I have a lot of purpose regarding normal life things. I need to make money, I need to be a good mom, I need to be a good wife, friend, daughter, blah blah blah. But do I have a purpose for this blog?
No.
Not yet at least. Today my only purpose has really been to see how many useless apps I can add to my droid before I blow it up. My other purpose is to feel ok enough to decorate our tree tonight with the kids.
You will notice a theme in my blogs. I hurt. I am going to try real hard not to go on and on about it, no one likes a whiner. But today, it is my hip and my lower back. And I just want to go home and make sweet sweet love to my heating pad while sucking on a soma lozenge. But the kids are really looking forward to it, so it is suck it up time.
I digress. I am going to actively pursue some sort of goal for this blog. Let it not stand as a whine bag and vent locker for my own narcissistic needs and desires. Let it be something that motivates me towards…
something.
Maybe I will try to write a short story per week or month and post it here. That would make me happy. I love the short story. Like, I want to make out with it and feel it up and maybe get to third base with it.
Check back and see what I have decided on. Or feel free to make your own suggestions. The only thing I can’t really do is move a lot. So keep that into consideration whilst suggesting a porpoise.
Yes porpoise. Every time I type the word purpose I say “porpoise” in my head. I don’t know why. I think because it is spelled funny and yet sounds just like purpose.
Then I found this, and decided it was fate that I get these two words, that have nothing to do with each other, confused.

*If I use an image that isn’t mine I will always do my best to give credit. Because I can’t finance a cheezeburger right now, so someone should get credit.
As always,
Woman_on_Pause
PS. I learned from wikipedia that porpoises are also called, “Mereswine.” Is that like calling someone fat or nearly fat? Boggles the mind.
