Inspired by a lack of inspiration

I just got back from Pizza Hut. Let's not talk about how not on the diet that visit was. I did get to see the California Kroondyks and the darling Chicago Mark . . . oh, I miss him. That part of the visit was definitely on the diet.

Then I came home and got online--to look for a new job and get the church softball schedules. But then I started visiting my favorite blogs, and I realized that it's been too many days since I checked some of the those out. (Sorry, WMW.) It's inspiring to me to read what people have to say. So here are my randomly inspired thoughts for the day:

I don't keep the monitor turned up very high, because the clicking of the baby swing gets annoying. I was watching the lights fill up the monitor and thinking that there was no way that the baby was screaming that loudly. Then I realized it was the children outside. They better not wake the baby.

I need to somehow reclaim my life. When I really think about what is consuming it, I am forced to realize that it isn't the baby. It's laziness. I simply must do something for me. Maybe I'll make a list about it.

My mom asked me why I was reading a certain book over the weekend. She asked if it was for a class. When did I get so old that I read books intended only for educational consumption?

Anderson Cooper recently asked, or rather I recently read that he asked, why we care about the weather in Houston when we live thousands of miles away. That's an interesting question. Is it really fair to say that I'm just being "global" in my caring when it probably just becomes another obssession and reason to lie around watching the telly?

Happy 25th birthday, HIV/AIDS. Oh, how grand the world would be without you.

You mean how grand the world WILL be without AIDS. Someday. Some other new world if not here.
