Woohoo! It's about time, right? I bet you've been checking back everyday just like I've been checking on Erica's blog. Just waiting for a new post to show up. I'm not percolating a baby that could show up any moment now. So what's my excuse? Nada. I don't have one. There's plenty of blog posts up in my head. They just haven't made it to the keyboard.
See, I go for my morning run and think about great posts or the beginnings of one and then I get distracted. I sort through my work issues for the day. I think about why the rest of the world is not awake yet. I look at the stars and the moon. And before you know it I am back home. Time to shower, dress, eat, do my hair and then dress, feed, tame bed-head for two more people. Then off to school and work.
I don't get a chance to come back to those great blog posts I had thought of earlier that morning. I am so far behind on how 2010 is going. It's basically going, chugging along like every other day not too different from 2009.
So here is the beginning of this morning's blog post that I had started to write (in my head):
In the spring and summer I usually smell great flowers and the like, the scent hangs heavy in the morning before sunrise. In the winter there isn't much to smell. Most of the time I catch the smell of burning wood, not like the huge apartment fire a mile away I smelled last year, but like a fire place. And I could picture the people all warm and snug in their house with a fresh morning fire crackling away. Today was different. No fire places. The first scent I picked up was a dryer sheet. Someone was running a load of wash through the dryer. I presume it's because they realized last night they were out of underwear and this was the reason for an early load of wash. Then I came upon the very recognizable smell of freshly smoked cigarette. Yup, someone was up getting their nicotine fix before starting the day. And then I passed bacon. Bacon, bacon, bacon. And then I got distracted and totally lost my train of thought. Boy those stars are neat. Look Orion's belt. I can find it every time.

Good thing no one in OUR family (on either side) has ADD!
The same thing used to happen to me all the time when I was walking around campus-- I'd craft these posts and partial posts in my head during my walks to and from classes, but only occasionally did I actually type them out and get them onto my blog. Blogging is funny business. Thanks for the window into the sights and smells of your run-- it sounds pretty cool. =)
