I always do this to myself. Blargh.
Some kindly soul, somewhere, says something nice about the Pic-Dem, and I see a temporary but much-appreciated spike in traffic, and I concoct all these grandiose plans for writing something that's Really Useful and Super Meaningful and that will suck those one-time visitors in, Charybdis-like, and turn them all into regular and devoted reader/commenters.
But instead life happens and I never write those sucker-inner posts and the blog languishes, un-updated. And then when I finally think of something to say or at least come up with a good reason for not saying anything, it's time to leave for the weekend (yay!) and have fun outdoorsy adventures (yay!) and be nowhere near a computer ith which the blog could be updated. A-freakin'-las.
So I'm asking you, Dear Regular or Irregular Reader or Browser... what do you want to hear about?
Happiness, pragmatism and the Eunuch Effect?
Homeschooling and why there needs to be another word for it that better represents what we do in the Jedi Temple Academy?
My cute kids?
My cute cats?
Crock-Pot recipes?
Risotto recipes?
The amazing Mostly Red Wine Diet and the effects it's having on my quality of life?
(I'm hoping you want to hear about my cats. There are some really funny photos I'd love to share.)
Just let me know and I'll do my best to address your blogreading needs on Monday...
Hey, cats are always good. I'd be interested to hear about homeschooling, too.

If you're writing it, I'm reading it, baby. I'm nothing if not faithful (I'm a Cancer, remember?).
But, if you could pull the recipe for that Corn & Bleu Cheese risotto we had at The Farm out of your arse...nal... that would be great! :-P

Homeschooling. Homeschooling please. All avenues of it including your daily routines involving the Jedi Temple Academy. Oh and your views on California's ban on it.

California has a ban on homeschooling? Are you kidding me?
I was a one-semester homeschooler, as a transition from public school to a specialized private school. I wasn't very good at it, because I'm not the most patient type. But I know that we had to do it in order for my son to make it.
Parents should choose schooling tailored to their children's needs, not to cookie cutter standards. Even if it means having different children in the same family attending different types of schools.

I want to hear about it all. Especially the Red Wine DIet which, as you know, I am also on. I drink and then answer emails, mostly on Thursday which is my Lost viewing day. ( Although, as it stands, not so much until April 24th. )
I love to hear about the life in the Northwest- I have never been further than Tennessee and I live vicariously through those who have.
POst mama. Post away.

Red wine, cats, and homeschooling... in exactly that order. :)

and meerkats! and your budding career as a science writer.

I feel that I have the Red Wine Diet down to an art. Sharing recipe's is always good. But mostly it's nice just to read about what my old mates are up to so any mental spatter is pretty much fine with me.
I've been neglecting my own blog (creatively) for some time now, so you *may* have just motivated me to actually do something about that.

What should be my fifth thing about me for Saturday?
And, what time is your test? Will we coincide? Should we have a cocktail afterwards with the husbands?
