I'm a slacker

So it's sad but it's true. I am a slacker.

I could defend my unforgivable absence from blogging by saying, "the fact that I have no readers makes me feel unappreciated in the world of blog literature", but that's not the point of a blog - especially one entitled "Maddie's Mind." The point of the blog is to put my mind on some server somewhere - and if someone should so choose to subscribe to and read my blog that is their prerogative - and, God help them.

I could say that my life is boring and I just don't have anything to blog about, and whereas the nothing-to-blog-about part is true I definitely cannot get away with saying that my life is boring. In the midst of working, trying to start a small local publishing company, wondering where the hell my voter registration went, applying to go back to school - dealing with FAFSA, and then the everyday occurrences that happen - it's not boring.

The truth is I have not made myself to set aside time to blog.

I hate FAFSA, by the way.

Oh, I will be starting a new thing in my blog! Brain teasers. At the end of each blog I will put a brain teaser. Just in case I do get a reader. And the answer to the previous brain teaser - along with a new one - will appear at the end of the next blog.

BRAIN TEASER:

Place the name of a musical instrument in the blanks to form a word in the English language (though not all the words originated in the English Language.) It is a different musical instrument each time.
