I stopped saving.

There must be a hole in the bottom...all my ideas drained out.

wha happa?

What did I stop saving? – My ideas. I have to admit to all 43 of you that I have been busy wasting my ideas, prose and general quips like some people waste money. Please, allow me to illustrate:

Since November 10th, 2011 I have focused quite a bit on the Bat Mitzvah (yes – we’ll get to the savings schema for that in next week’s post… today’s exclusively for remorse, with a side of “I’m sorry” for flavor).

I have started another blog, with is taking off like gang-busters! It took me 13 months to gather you 43, and right now I am already clicking along at a cool 3 views a day. You have no idea how fast the super information highway can really be. Check it out: http://yourcookingcoach.wordpress.com.

I have felt stymied by schedule. Too much happens the year of the Bat Mitzvah. It’s not just the prep shit that bites you in the butt, or the money that is required to make it “just so and away we go”. It’s the world that is changing around you. And I have been taking time to observe it.. Observations like:

• Maude is her own person and needs to make her own decisions. Feh. (Who needs it?)
• I have scaly skin appearing on the tops of my feet (a sure sign of aging along with the 4 grey hairs on either side of my head)
• China is becoming a big deal. (I am not sure that that is bat mitzvah-year triggered, but I needed to somehow demonstrate for you that I listen to NPR and am therefore smarter than I used to be, which makes me head and shoulders above anyone named Sven.) Subtle… eh?

What I am sharing with you, my royal loyals is that I am having to choose between prose and pose (yes, I went to yoga today before I started composing.)

But today I chose both and I think that though this might be double dipping – I am willing to try to keep up the posting. Why? Because I think that the above three points will enhance my writing and honestly, I miss it. Also, case in point, I have heard from #24 and #36 (double chai) – and they miss my posts as well.

The decision – The cooking blog will post weekly – and so will Clutching Coins!

(Summary: Basically, I spent my ideas, funnies and observations on memories I don’t remember and a few on people who don’t deserve them… But that’s not you 43. It must have been the Swedes….) Down with waste, up with pros who write prose. Onward – Tally Ho!
