I've Got Nothin'

I keep thinking I should update my blog. Then I think, "With what?" I could tell you about my new cute boots that made me fall 5 times at work the first day I wore them with the big brown bruise on my left knee pictured as proof. Only I didn't take a picture and how thrilling is that anyway.
I could tell you about our Christmas but pretty much the only pictures I took were from this day where we got our tree. I have none at all of Christmas itself.
I could regale you with stories of Cooper's comical basketball team, but I've only seen one game and don't have any pictures of that either. Although it is funny to watch them finally get "called" for things they have been doing for year--traveling, 3 seconds in the key, double-dribbling, stepping over the line when throwing it in. Really only a video could do it justice, but I haven't got that either.
I could tell you of Spencer's high school woes, but that's just a typical teenager story. Plus it would probably just add to his misery knowing it was shared. Suffice it to say, he will survive it all and look back on it in wonder one day just like we all did.
How about Tucker's school and employment constant changes for a topic of conversation. No, that's not really anything new either.
So lest you think life is all dull and uninteresting for me, here's proof that you can be surprised. Dennis spent this past week in Florida, which he pretty much does annually. On Friday, the day he was returning I got this lovely arrangement at work. The funny thing was, when it was delivered I was on the phone and ignoring it. Imagine my surprise when my co-worker looked at the tag and brought over to my desk. I was still wondering who could have sent me flowers (it's true). When I read the card I almost started crying. See Dennis rarely sends flowers (can't even remember the last time) so when he does send them it is always surprising and that makes it all the more special.
Maybe I do feel like I don't have anything interesting going on right now. The reality is while it may not necessarily be interesting, I've got everything. At least everything I need and that's what really matters.

Pretty much I think ALL of those topics could justify a post. (no picture needed) Although I DO want to see the boots in question, and have you worn them since?

Whatever prosaic things are happening... well it is interesting to me because I'm not there.

This is why I post the most trivial stuff... a record for myself.. and since I know I'm interested in your trivia I assume you might be Okay with mine.

Who knew Dennis could be all sweet with the flowers?

I liked this post!

I agree with Celiac. When this is the only way I keep in touch, everyday things are interesting. Plus, I count this as a journal. Kudos to Dennis. That was very romantic and thoughtful.

I am a fan of photos. But I'm an even bigger fan of a lovely post like that. That was so well written and touching. I was kinda teary before I even got to the flower part.
Dennis had best be careful or he'll ruin his rep as a potential old curmudgeon.
Thank you. I love you!
