First of all…. I’m with Rachael. I think they have grossly underestimated my addiction problems…. try this for fun:
Mingle2 - Online Dating
Second, I just heard that Joel Siegel died. I was overwhelmed with a strange sadness. Not sure why. I enjoyed his movie reviews and humor, but it’s not like I knew him or made a huge effort to catch his tv appearances. I think it was the clip ABC was showing of an interview he did about his son. This man found out he had cancer the same day his wife found out she was pregnant. When he later found out that there was little chance of survival, he decided to write a book for his son. It’s called Lessons for Dylan and is just that - as many life lessons as he could fit in one book. The things he wanted his son to know. Sad, but a Father’s love story. Frank and I watched the clip tonight and we both agreed that the story was just awful, without saying a word to each other. It made me think about what life lessons I would choose to tell my (future) kids. Would I tell them about my mistakes, as well as my accomplisments? I don’t mean to be morbid, but it’s a good way to evaluate yourself and the road you are currently taking.
Finally, and on a much lighter note, I have a line up of adoption posts coming. Do any of you get ideas for your blog and make a draft, so you remember to blog about it later? Maybe that should have been a question on that blog addiction quiz….
I’m oddly saddened that Joel Sigel died too.
As far as your question about making up drafts, I don’t do that so much as write posts and not publish them. I usually go back and delete them, but sometimes I tweak and publish. Especially when I have nothing else to write about.

I have a bunch of half composed posts. Some in my head, some on my computer. Sometimes I also write whole posts, which I then never publish. And no, they don’t address that on the addiction quiz, do they?

I have a ton of posts (or at least subjects) in my head. My only problem is finding time to write them down. When I do finally sit down at my computer, the ideas seem to flee my brain and I’m left with nothing to say. I really should start writing these things down when I think of them:)
