Don’t you just hate it when

you have a blog post idea, but you wait too long to jot it down, and it escapes you while you’re eating your Lean Cuisine?

It happened to me today.

It’s still up there in my brain, tucked in one of the shallow new wrinkles near the back. It tickles a little bit, but I can’t figure out what it is, kind of like when I have something itching on my eyeball and I compulsively run to the bathroom to look at it really close in the mirror every time I feel it move, but the offending object insists on remaining invisible to the naked eye, proceeding to annoy me all day long.

And you know, fuzzy stuck in my eye or blog post idea stuck in my brain, it would be so satisfying to bring it out here to see the light of day. Only difference is, I don’t think anyone would give an eye fuzzy a passing glance. But who knows? That blog post idea hiding out in the shallow wrinkle in the back of my brain might just be genius.

It could change the world.

It might have the power to inspire peace in the Middle East or make The Hills good again.

But I didn't write it down; I ate lunch.

Everything could have changed, but it didn’t.

Everything stayed the same.

SPEAKING of The Hills... I don't even like it this season... but I have to watch. I feel like if I don't watch it, something big will happen and then I will miss out on the conversation that day in "Girl World."

Ugh, I do hate it when that happens. It's usually when I am just about to fall asleep, and I have a brilliant idea for a blog post, but then I decide that sleep is more important than potentially bringing about world change. :)

YES, especially when I'm falling off to sleep...I either get up and write, rendering myself insomniatic...or force myself to sleep, stifling genius ;)

such a predicament!!!

I too am annoyed with The Hills this season but I am enjoying The City! I will be waiting for your awe inspiring post!

I also hate it when Blogger says it couldn't process my comment, so I type it again and submit it only to find both of them staring back at me.

Yep. Hate that too.
