Peer Pressure
I had no intention of participating in National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo) this year. I successfully completed it last year, much to my own surprise, but this year, November is ultra-busy between World Diabetes Day planning and doing, about which I still want to tell you. Four days after WDD, I’ll be on my way to Dallas for the American Art Therapy Association conference, complete with an exam for which I’ve under-prepared thus far, so I need to get moving more on that. Then there a bunch of little things like an event at one of the school where I provide counseling that I committed to attend, a brunch in New York that I’m attending this weekend. Let’s not forget all the dumb little stuff that needs to be done regularly too, like the grocery shopping that I should have done a week ago, and still haven’t done. Of course, I’ve yet to recruit any kids for the art therapy groups, so that means one less thing around which I need to schedule, but that’s not helping me otherwise, to say the least.
I’ve given into peer pressure though. I saw some DOC people were doing NaBloPoMo, and I couldn’t resist committing, even though I know better, since I’ve not even consistently posted on weekdays lately. Today, I’m just telling you that’s what I’m doing, or at least that’s what i intend to do. It might mean some lame posts about nothing, much like today, or it could be pictures of Dexter or paintings something else of little substance. I guess bear with me. I do have some things about which I keep meaning to write, so ideally, I’ll squeeze those into the posting schedule because if I don’t add posts that inspire people to comment, I will have ruined my own fundraising effort.
Today, I’m having a really bad day. No need to share how irrationally discouraged I’m feeling about everything at the moment. Hopefully, I’ll be in a better frame of mind tomorrow. Hopefully the Phillies will win tonight because I could use a little endorphin boost right about now.
This will cheer you up: Last night I had a dream in which I was, er, involved, er, intimately with a very attractive friend of mine and Chase Utley at the same time. Not bad for a fantasy league, hahaha. Go Phils!!

I’m unintentionally unofficially doing NaBloPoMo. Between the fundraising and the Days of Grace project, I guess…

I’m sorry you’re not having a good day
I hope that tomorrow is much better!! I’d say I hope for you to get some endorphins tonight by a win from the phillies but you know I’m a new yorker right?

I will read ur blog even if it is just a pic of Dexter and make comments like these when I am feeling uninspired as well. Keep up the Good Work Lee Ann for a girl who says she’s at home on the couch a lot, u sure as heck travel, write, get a web page published, and brochure. Well u are making us uninspired girls really look bad

I really wish this would take place in a boring month, like Feb or March when people aren’t so stressed by the impending holiday rush. There would be more time for blogging.
But I must say that there seems to be a new vibrancy in the community, and I like it!

Maybe next year I’ll be up to the challenge of posting every day. Go you.
Hang tough. Remember, eye candy. Although, I think the Yankees got it. Sorry.
((hugs))

So glad you’ve officially joined!!! I love everything you post, even the stuff that you think is just “fluff”.
