Chocolate Covered Misadventures (knitting, childrearing, surviving) of a Passable Mind

My five (OK, six) blog commandments May 30, 2007

Filed under: blog, rambling — cocoapurl @ 4:13 pm

I thought I should set some ground rules for myself for this blog – I’ve been known to digress. So here goes (Imagine Charlton Heston reading the boldface):

1. Thou shalt not bore the heck out of readers of thine blog with random thoughts and flotsam
OK, this one is going to be tough. In fact, this very entry could be breaking the new rules. How does one atone for a blog sin?

2. Thou shalt keep thou’st (?) family and friends up to date with pictures, news, and cute anectdotes about the LG (little guy)
Emphasis on PICTURES. No one wants to hear me ramble on with nothing to show for it.

3. Thou shalt use this blog to help make up for thou’st unreasonable dislike of phone conversation

This is probably repeating #2 a bit – but since just about everyone reading this knows me well, its worth mentioning that this is a partial attempt to make up for this particular character flaw. With PICTURES!

4. Thou shalt post bi-weekly (at least)
Easy for me to say. Those who know me also know I bore REALLY easily. On the other hand, I’m on the computer way too much – even I can do the math here.

5. Thou shalt not reveal names to protect the innocent
Here’s a preparatory key:
BG – Big guy, my darling husband
LG – Little guy (I also considered calling him Monster Boy, but that could carry negative connotations. Let’s just say he’s a very large, ravenous, and freshly minted two year old.)
The Boys – My dogs, Yogi and BooBoo. Well, OK, those are their real names. We all know they’re less than innocent, so they’re on thier own.
The Circus – Term of endearment (honest!) for my extended family.

6. Thou shalt lighten up and work to stay that way
I realize that’s not the number of originally stated commandments – my math’s not that bad. But I believe that everyone could stand to take themselves less seriously, me included. Imagine what a world it would be if we all did? (There’s a plaigarised lyric in there somewhere – apologies for all the OTHER original thinkers).
