I was thinking about the post I wrote just prior to seeing this, about how I'm getting pretty to close to being at the end of the long, slow, process of realizing I'm not Internet-writing material. (Interesting, eh? )
That sometimes it really sucks to have your suspicions confirmed, and I should know by now that I dont want to know, so I should stop checking. Ignorace IS bliss.
First thought was whats this now lets found so I simply thought lets see what more follows after this - atleast I dont have to ask myself if I am a good person cos I know I am & I certainly arent crying but smiling reading all this.
I was just reading a hub by a new hubber Fionaxmalone (yes, from Ireland) and her foibles feeding her twins. So I was thinking back to when Sonny was a baby, feeling more than a little nostalgic (he's 18 now), and contemplating the potential need to change my Hub Pages name to Mighty Empty Nester!
How insane I am to be here when I should be in bed -- early, early meeting with the top decision makers....and then thinking that I'll be yawning through the whole thing and, worse yet, having my eyes close on me and getting caught....
I was thinking my oldest son's feet stink, and I wish he would put his shoes on or wash them if he is going to sit by me, and that I am so very glad to be done laying tile in the laundry room! You're right, very random.
is this my last load of laundry? what time is it? oh, time for bed. why did I click Forums when I wanted to click the 'back' button? I'm really tired - how can I be tired when I took a nap this afternoon? oh yeah, I didn't get a full nights sleep last night. it was nice to go to the park tonight - except for the mosquitoes... we should go play tennis more often. I'm really tired. I need to log off and go to bed.
STOP!! What were you thinking about before you saw this?
Wondering where my toe-nail cutters are.... a few minutes ago... Wondering why I dropped a china bowl into the sausages in the frypan full of oil, wondering whether to hose the fragments of the sausages or give them to Raster the border collie next door....damn.
I was thinking about finances and vacation and how to make them work together.....we were supposed to leave tomorrow morning but that's been scrapped and my mind is on overdrive coming up with ways to make sure we can still all go and what we need and where we'll stop and where we'll stay and what route we'll take and how much we'll need and how much to pack and am I going to have to buy a new dress...I don't want to but I didn't meet my weight loss goals and I don't have anything appropriate in my current size and how much everybody has rearranged their schedules for us so we can go and I don't want to dissapoint them and I REALLY need a vacation so we have to go but can we afford to go and if we risk it, will we regret it? This on top of running through my mental to-do list of what bikes are on the docket for today and how much be are we going to pheasibly be able to get out the door in the next three days.
I was wondering about some random threads, like whether a coffee-themed thread might still be around or the one where everyone just says "good morning."
Hey Professor! It's only been 44 hours since you've seen me... Now, you have to expose yourself to me so I (slow that I am) will know who you really are!
How long do you take to think about a subject you want to write about before you write the article.I take far too much time just thinking about a subject before I begin to write. I feel like I am crippling myself by not just jumping in and writing.
Name one thing you learned about from another Hubber's Hub that you didn't know about before? Saw this question on Relache's interview at the "The Relache Hub" (http://hubpages.com/hub/relache#mod_46817) and thought it would be a fun question for all of us to answer.
I understand some people are worried about the "antiHubChallenge" or whatever it's called, and I just wanted to say something on a personal level to get my own thoughts out in the open about it. And this is my PERSONAL view - yes, we do have a HubChallenge team and we...
This was written on the hub of a writer recently: "I'm in touch with my feelings – maybe a tad too much, seeing as I can write on command about them".Sort of implies that this is not a good thing....Why would this be bad? I really don't think there's any such thing as being in touch...
Aside from sharing my article links on Facebook, what are some tried and true ways of increasing traffic/reads to our articles? I'm new; 3 weeks in, have 10 published and featured articles so far. I'm trying to figure out what the number on my profile photo means exactly. I know...
