It's been so weird for me lately. I look at the "New Post" button on my blog and I just stare at it. I don't understand why I have so little to say.
Now I just typed that sentence and I sat there and stared at it wondering, what do I say next? I used to have blog-post ideas pop into my head forty-three-thousand times per day. I had to keep a notebook with me and jot them down so I wouldn't forget. Now, I got nothin'. I don't know what I think of all day everyday, but whatever it is goes in and out of my head like water on sand.
Why am I so quiet? I don't understand it, but it is what it is. Cycles. Time and season and all that stuff...

Blogstipation and the Week in Review
So, I have had a little case of blogstipation this last little while. Working on jump starting my brain... anyone have any jumper cables? I wish it were that easy....
I spent a great deal of time last week sitting on the floor, hunched over our giant Lego box building all sorts of things for my children. A rainbow house for Ella. A castle for Mac. A hex house for Rohan. There were robots and pyramids and cars... always cars. We managed to have Legos scattered all over the floor of Rohan's room... what a lovely, precious mess!
I have spent a lot of time reading as well. Still working on A New Earth. Excellent book, in my opinion. Loving what I am learning there, and everywhere.
Kids were home sick several days. Mentioned that already.
Spent a lot of time on updating and revising Dustin's resume. He is on the prowl for a new job, so if any of you know of something in the Geology/Engineering field that is available give us the heads up! :)
The weather has been beautiful. Until today, that is. Saturday was a lovely day that found Dustin working in the yard, and me going to our local plasma donation center where I got the distinct pleasure of being poked in the arm by my little sister, the phlebotamist. I think it's really weird that they call it a "plasma donation" when they actually pay you to do it. Doesn't quite seem to fit the donation bill when you get paid money for it. Any thoughts?
Sunday was also beautiful. I wore sandals to church, and my feet weren't even cold. I am the choir director in my ward. We are combining with another ward to make up the choir for Stake Conference. I am excited for this little deal to be over on the 27th of April. I had a dream about leading the choir in Stake Conference, and let's just say I'm hoping that I worked out all my fears in my dream and everything will go perfect in the real deal.
Monday was the MOST beautiful of all the days. I think it hit somewhere around 70-75 degrees. It was wonderful. I forgot what that feels like. I had my front and back door open with a little breeze blowing through while I sewed with my friend, Melissa. The breeze wasn't the only thing that came through my house... the back door has no screen, and while we were sewing, Mac or Ella came up and informed me that I was about to freak out because a cat came in the back door and went into the basement. I only freaked out a little bit...
Then, last night, Dustin and I watched "I Am Legend". (Thank you, CleanFlicks!) I didn't care for it much. Dustin didn't like it at all. I didn't know it was a bit of a "scary" movie. I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't that. Oh well...
Anyway... that is my week in loose review. Hopefully this case of blogstipation will clear up soon, and I will have something interesting to say!

Blang!
I just Googled the term "blogrolling" and I found the funniest thing on Wikipedia. Quoted from the link below... "This is a list of blogging terms. Blogging, like any hobby, has developed something of a specialized vocabulary"
Hence, the title of this entry! Blang is my very own specialized term for Blog Slang!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_blogging_terms
I never knew there was a name for those days you log on to your blog and feel like you should blog about something, but you can't think of anything (which is frequent for me!). Here's the "official" definition:
The spoken form of logorrhoea (in the non-medical sense) is a kind of verbosity that uses superfluous or fancy words to disguise a useless or simple message as useful or intellectual, and is commonly known as “verbal diarrhea” or “diarrhea of the mouth.”
Ha! I love the internet.

- Blogstipation
- The state of being unable to think of any topic to blog about, leading to irregular, strained blog entries. A rush of interesting events can clear the block; this is sometimes known as a blenema.
- Bloglet
- A small blog entry, usually one or two sentences long.
- Blogorrhea
- A portmanteau of "blog" and "logorrhea", meaning excessive and/or incoherent talkativeness in a weblog.
