It’s late. NPR’s late night jazz fills up the khaki colored walls and white laminet cabinets as I sit at the kitchen table tonight and study Spanish. It’s quiet out. Eerie-quiet, quiet. I can hear an occassional truck rumble across the sink hole in the street out front and the refrigerator hums and burps and as I take a break to blog these thoughts.
I feel a little like Clint Eastwood in the movie, Play Misty For Me, because I can’t help and wonder if anyone is listening to me out here?
I take brain breaks between past, present, and conjugation to peruse the internet looking at kitchen cabinets, counter tops and refurbished barn doors - I’m looking for funky and inexpensive as I rehab my house.
Hello? Is anyone listening?
I realized one of my New Year’s resolutions was to blog more, but lately, I’ve barely blipped let alone blogged. And my sincere apologies go out to all my fellow bloggers, because I know, I rarely visit anymore. No flowers. No love songs. No wine deliveries. No bootie calls. Damn. I sound like a bad excuse, don’t I?
Hello? Is anyone listening?
The good news is, school will be out for summer break soon, and consequently, I’ll have more time. Yah. More time. More time for writing and blogging and just an old fashioned long over-due visit that includes a glass of wine and a little conversation.
Hello? Is anyone listening?
The minutes have ticked by and it’s later and quieter now. I can hear Etta James and some really great tenor saxophonist…I need to go back to conjugating again….
Thanks for listening
Neve Black
I’m always listening. And smiling.
Etta is great to conjugate to…
I’m listening, Neve
I’ll meet your glass of wine and raise you a couple bottles of homebrew and a bottle good tequila, just for us.
I’m guilty of the same…very little blogging, visiting, commenting. Gotta work on that
*hugs*
Yeah, it is quiet out here/there? I’ve noticed a lot fewer new posts from folks popping up on my blogger dashboard (which I check several times daily - yeah, I’m bad). But no need for apologies. I’m sure you’ll be right back at it when you have time.
Hi Craig,
Thank you for listening and smiling. I hope you know that’s much appreciated.
Scarlett,
I know you have quite a lot on your plate right now too. Yes, wine, homebrew…tequila…I’m so in.
Hugs right back at ya’, baby.
Robin,
I think everyone has been so damned busy lately. I know I have plans to re-visit blog land soon, very soon.
Thanks for listening and commenting.
Wine and conversation–you know I’m hankering after an evening with you of the same! I’m here, but busy like the rest of us. But with such great music, how can we not listen?
Hey Neve - I’m popping into your neighborhood Friday afternoon - going to Lilly’s to get some vegan chocolates!
It’s supposed to be 80 degrees this weekend - Happy Spring!
Laura
Hey Donna,
One day we’ll be sipping wine in Paris.
Hi Laura!
Cool. Love Lilly’s. Yum. 80 degrees in Cleveland, in May. Pinch me.
Hugs, Neve.
Yes! Blog more! I is lonely!
Well, I could probably put that in a more sophisticated and subtle way, but what the heck…
Hugs to you too, Em.
Janine dahlin-k,
I’m trying to blog hop more. And post more too. Maybe I’ll put a bunny suit on and hop on Easter Sunday. Oh, God that was so incredibly lame-o, wasn’t? Sorry.
you ARE busy! It’s April, luv.
Are you doing anything fun tonight?
Hey D,
Grabbing a bite and drink or more…but I have a test tomorrow and making empanadas for my class, so it won’t be a late night. I’m nearly done with school, so I’m going to plan a night to go out dancing until dawn, with you, okay? I think that’s a double D, isn’t?
More empanadas? Yes, I’d like that… That will be muchas fun!
Maybe cinco de Mayo fiesta?
