Spring Break

So it's Spring Break and I'm bored out of my gourd. I just drove all the way into town to go to the post office and the library. Then for fun I took a cruise down the main drag and was lured in by our fancy new Dunkin Donuts. It's a big deal that we have that Dunkin Donuts. No the donuts are not the greatest, but it's there and I had to pull in even though it was 11:30 and I wasn't even hungry. I had to make that trip into town a little bit more interesting. I bought a dozen and a chocolate milk, downed a chocolate glazed cake and a powdered vanilla creme with my milk in the parking lot and then headed home.
That will be the highlight of my day.
I feel like we are missing out. It seems as if the whole town went out of town this week. All the college kids left of course, but also a lot of the townies too. The mall was deserted on Monday, Target on Tuesday, and Sam's Club on Wednesday. I remember last Friday when all the kids at school were talking about all the cool places they were going and I was envious, of 8 year olds. Of course they were just going to Mexico, or Phoenix, or Cali, but still I was totally jealous.

We are stuck at home penniless, trying to catch up on cleaning and paying overdue bills.
We do have those two big trips coming up, so it's not like we aren't going to travel, we just aren't travelling this week like everyone else. It 's frustrating. The weather has been kind of crappy and when it is sunny it's accompanied by a bone chilling wind of at least 20 mph.

I feel like I should be doing more. So here I am. If I can't be doing something big and important at least I can be here writing. I love to write, but don't do it often enough. Lately a lot of the crap I have been putting up here has been put up in the interest of getting more page views per day, not like it's working, but still I am editing myself heavily in order to appeal to somebody, but I don't know who.
I write here because I like to broadcast stuff. I like to have an audience and I sometimes feel like I have something important to say. Other times I just want to get some stuff off of my chest, exercise my fingers and try and make someone laugh or feel like someone else out there has problems too. It's not all roses, unicorns and rainbows. I like to read about other people and know what's going on with them and compare my life to theirs, and maybe you like to do the same. It's like literary voyeurism.
Your welcome.

All of that censoring I've been doing has meant little or no posts here. So I'm going to try and stop thinking and try to just write with no censoring.
I hope you enjoy.
