I was reading over my last few posts and one thing came to mind ... I am playing the world's smallest violin way too much.
Ironically, as I was thinking "perhaps I should post something to let my readers (in my head there are more than 5 who actually care) know that I really am optimistic prone, I very much enjoy my life and what I say should hardly be taken seriously", I went to my sister's blog who had just posted the exact same kind of sentiment. Then, this morning, I went to my little sister's brand-spankin'-new blog only to discover she expresses the same sentiment again.
Perhaps great minds DO think alike. And here I refer to Julia and Katie as the great minds ... I merely stumbled into their genius.
So read their blogs, because they'll say it better.
Let's just say it's sufficient to know the things I post are the daily humdrum of my life that actually make it into the blog composition mode of my brain (where I try to think of brilliant posts so that, maybe, someday, I can be wickedly brilliant like the bloggers I admire so). I cut out lots of happy little moments -- like yesterday, when Jane and I sat on the floor together for a solid 10 minutes happily enjoying the flubbies I was making in the crook of her neck.
But I'll try to do better. After all, "the bee's knees" does mean something is of the highest quality, which is why I selected it (because I meant my life is).

Maybe it's because I know you, but I don't think you're a whiner. You simply know how to pander to an audience. And, as J.R.R. Tolkien said (I'm paraphrasing here), horrible stories are much more fun to hear, whereas a good day and happy things can be told in no time, and are usually very boring to hear.
That's my theory on why we all like to tell about the horrible things that have happened to us. They're more entertaining.
But, of course, you're entertaining during sun and rain, so no worries.
I love your blog. Just before I turn off my computer, and go to bed I check my little list of favorite blogs. The ones that make me smile and think happy thoughts. Your blog is one of my favorites. I love your turn of words.
K, can I just tell you that I LOVE LOVE LOVE how you write? You should be a children's book author! We still need to get together sometime to hang out. Even if we just sit around in PJ's and watch the babies play!
