I’m taking a break from blogging this month and sharing some words from friends, some posts from the past and other assorted bric-a-brac. Here’s a list of the Top 10 Most Visited Posts at ButterscotchSundae.com!
“Exaggerations and silver linings.
June 3, 2011. The one in which I do not explain how to build a Rapunzel tower, much to the disappointment of all the people Googling it, I’m sure.
“How to quiet a cough.”
February 18, 2009. I still use the VapoRub trick. This is also the second most-searched phrase that brings people here. (The first is “butterscotch sundae.”)
Summer 2010. Bay City, Michigan.June 20th is the official first day of summer this year. But today it’s over 80 degrees out there, the bees are buzzing around like mad and we only have 16 days of school left. All this means I’m thinking Summery Thoughts today, which made me remember that this time last year I was seeing lots of “Summer Bucket Lists” on the blogs.
A little googling turned up quite a few lists from last year, including one person doing a “Summer Bucket List Party.” I wish that meant I got to attend all of the fun stuff she has planned for the summer, but it doesn’t. It just means other people are linking to their summer lists on her page, which is also fun even if it isn’t a hot dog roast under the stars.
Anyway, I thought this year I might make my own list of things that would be fun to do this summer. I would be terribly surprised if we actually did everything on the list, but it’ll give us somewhere to start when the I’m Boreds begin. By which I mean yesterday, because someone is bored every 15 minutes.
(Fact: My mom used to tell me that “only boring people get bored” when I told her I was bored. I always thought that was kind of mean. She also told me she played with sticks and rocks when she was a kid. Which tells me that she was definitely bored, too.)
