Thought of the Day #5 -- "Weekends Off"

I took the weekend off from blogging, chalking it up to my taking a break from a job or commitment. 

I was thinking about this over the weekend...
  1. Because I made the commitment to myself that I should have 30 consecutive thoughts for blogging, and
  2. because I was trying to define how strong my conviction for blogging really is.

So what really are "Weekends Off"?

By a Google search you will find this definition:

          Definitions of Weekend off on the Web:

          The legal workweek (a US term, in the UK called 
          the working week) is part of the 7-day week 
          devoted to labor, as opposed to rest. In many 
          countries it is Monday to Friday. What constitutes 
          the workweek is mandated either by law or custom. 
          ...en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weekend_off


Individually we sometimes define our "off" time as time away from work, other times we define it as time to ourselves away from everyone and everything. Some people might consider a weekend off, time when they can spend their energy blogging...

For me, a weekend off is when I can do what I feel like doing, away from any obligations.

This weekend, it meant no blogging for 2 days which sort of coincided with the weekend.. you will notice that I finished Friday's thought on Saturday, but only because I fell asleep too early Friday.

So what do you do on your "Weekends Off"?
Share with us the curiosities of mind and soul... we need a little excitement in our lives!

Only one follower???

Ok, I know I am dull and dry and I have no flavor to my posts... (this is your cue to all chime in and let me know you love reading what I have to say, yes I need an ego boost just now) ...but really, I've been in OZ since April 1 (quite a bizarre turn of events that I arrived in the land down under on April fools day - please no comment from the peanut gallery on what this might mean for my future) and I only have one, count them "one", follower of my blog to show for it. You know how disheartening that is?

Then I realized, I only have a very few friends (roughly 200) and most of them are in facebook... who has time for blogs?

So hey, if you want me to blog more often, give me a shout out so I know you are there!!!

Here I sit...

It's so funny, I said I wasn't going to make my daughter the center of all my posts and yet, here I am thinking about what to write and seeing only her. It amazes me that a well schooled adult can change their whole world with one tiny priority (in my case, it's a wiggly opinionated baby girl... who, despite being well fed, thinks I need to feed her rather than blog to all of you).

Anyway, my intention was to give you some things to look forward to in the upcoming days. I still have lots of photos from events that I haven't blogged yet, but I still plan to post, even though the information may be out of date.

Included in that are:

• Juliette's birthday at King Edward hospital in Perth (July 26, 2009)
• Our first family vacation to Pemberton (September 2009)
• Oscar's first birthday (November 2009)
• Our new DubLi business (November - December 2009)
  

Look for these new posts coming soon... (hopefully this week)
