Jun. 12th, 2006 10:59 amI often think about updating here, but as you may have realized I rarely do it. In large part this is because writing is hard. It takes effort, although with practice it does get easier.. But I'm really out of practice. Add to that the fact that there seem to be so many things I'd like to say, to write about, that they get all jumblied up in my head and cause me to write *really* poorly, as in not-even-qualifies-as-stream-of-consciousness-it's-that-bad, that I back out of the prospect altogether and just read other people's blogs or google news items or whatever. But I miss the practice of writing, and I have a lot on my mind, and maybe there's someone out there who might still be reading this neglected blog who wants to comment on my musings, but most importantly I just really want to be writing again.
So here I am.
At least for today, for right now. I'm going to write something, and I hope to establish a habit of writing something here a few times a week as an actual journal for myself.
We moved into our new house last week, and I'm really happy with it. The house, backyard, and garage are roomier -- more space, and literally more rooms. We're still unpacking boxes but I feel comfortable that most things will ultimately have places, which is a point we just never got to in the old home. I'm also looking forward to starting a garden. The street we live on is quieter than the corner we were on in the old neighborhood, and there seem to be more kids here, probably in large part due to the fact that that there's an elementary school planted right in the middle of the neighborhood. This neighborhood is only six years old, but the fact that they put the schools (there's also a middle school a few blocks away) amongst the houses rather than out on a busy road gives in, for me, anyway, an older, more urban feel. Imagine! Someplace you can get to without getting in your car! Or risking getting hit by a speeding gravel hauler!

Sigh. Okay, another reason I don't update here often is that I just never seem to have a chunk of time that allows for a detailed post. And now it comes to my attention that I need to get over to the old house and get busy cleaning it up so we can list it for sale later this week. So the rest of my thoughts will have to wait until later today or, more likely, later this week.
