I Got Nothing

Day 11 of NaBloPoMo. (I feel like Wolf Blitzer should be saying that, complete with menacing news-crisis music and a blue-screen graphic involving flames, radar blips, and traffic-light-yellow text.)

I have nothing to write about. And I refuse to bore you with the details of my ho-hum day, from my morning coffee to shopping to taking a nap with my baby to getting a haircut to having salmon and a roasted-beet salad for dinner to watching Nip/Tuck on DVD to doing some Web surfing to posting on my blog. Damn. Oh, well.

In the meantime, check out the NaBloPoMo randomizer. It feeds you randomly selected sites belonging to some of the bazillion other people participating in the post-a-day challenge. Here's just a sample of what's out there (the first five sites I got after hitting the randomizer):

So Close: After being so close for so long, I have finally arrived. Life after infertility.
(Warning: The topmost post, from 11/9, is absolutely heartbreaking. It's hopeful in tone, but the subject is almost too much to bear.)

Greenjellysnakes
(Latest post: 11/5. Tsk, tsk.)

sew.crafty: sewing, knitting, kids, husband . . . life

Getting a Kelly Carwash: Where EG's starting to wish she had moved to warmer climes when she had the chance.
(Latest post: 11/1. For shame!)

The Ethicurean: Chew the right thing.

According to this random sample, 60 percent of the world's blogs are mommy blogs, and 40 percent of the world's bloggers are slackers.

I read Tertia's blog (So Close) and we've exchanged e-mails a few times. She recently wrote a book, which is fascinating! A friend from South Africa sent it to me. (Tertia is from SA). After reading the entry you mentioned, I felt like I couldn't put Olivia down.
