Patchwork Post

The trouble with keeping a blog I have thought is that I wonder if I will have enough to say on a regular basis. Some days I could run on and on and on about what probably is nothing and other days I am sure I have absolutely nothing to say. I figure that if I keep it up every day I will find that somewhere down the road this blog will make sense.
People say that you should have a reason for writing in a blog. My sister, for example has a blog about knitting. Sure, she discusses other aspects of her life but the goal of her blog is to write about knitting. I actually have read some of her blog and it is really fascinating. She also is a linguist professor so her words are so much better then my simple-ton language.
I thought maybe I could write about my job. The fun thing about my job is that I work for Congress in Washington DC. Yes, it sounds glamorous but trust me, at five minutes to close when they call and want to know why they cannot fly direct from Beirut to Tel Aviv you begin to wonder who these people really are working for the our elected officials. (For the record... You have to fly from Beirut to Istanbul to Tel Aviv becuause Lebanon & Isreal do not get along.... But I assume you are smart enough to know these thing.) I thought I could talk about the gossip and tell wonderful stories about the travel aspects of our Senaters and Congresspersons but then I realized that there are only about 10 of us who work in the office and if they found out it was me, I would probably get in trouble. (Plus I am not good at lying and would somehow blab out the information to someone.
Another topic brought up was my drag performing. For those of you in the know-how.... Drag is short/slang for a Female Illusionist although there is nothing illuding to the fact that I am man in a dress. You can tell. I do not channel the glamour and beauty of a Angelina Jolie or a Anne Hathaway. But for some bizarre reason, I have talent and I do well and people seem to like me.. It is fun to do but I do not do it often enough to make a blog about it.
So two topics out the window and I am wondering what I should really write about. In the process I also realized that I did not have enough to talk about single topics such as my new sewing habit,Broadway musicals, my dog Jack or my cats, Zipity & MorningStar or even my always patient husband, Mark.
So it struck me that maybe I do not have to just discuss one thing. I am more then sum of one thing. I am many dimentions of one person. SO this is what it is. A quilt, as you might see it, of my life beginning this year. Of course, I will talk about the past and hit upon the future but for now we blog about the current.
