Deep Thoughts

I’m sorry I haven’t blogged much lately.

I’m having blog issues because every time I start to write a post I think, “Oooh, I could turn this into an article.” Or, “Hmm, I might want to use this in a piece later, and I don’t want to spill the beans on my blog first.” There is a quote from writer Annie Dillard about not holding back in any of your writing because there is always more to come and further paths to dig. (That’s not the quote exactly, but it’s something along those lines). Problem is, it’s not helping. I’m still having issues.

But anyhoo…here are a few random things going on in my life:

We’re moving soon to a “walking” city. I’m so excited.

Yesterday I met my friend Elizabeth’s baby. Baby C is three weeks old. She pooped and burped and slept and ate. I was completely enamored. I officially have baby lust.

Other than that and the fact that I’m working on various articles, not much exciting is going on in the Rough household. Here’s a snippet of our conversation over dinner last night:

Ron: What does a spy do if he’s sneaking around, trying to be quiet, and then his stomach growls?

Jenny: Seriously, that stuff must happen all the time, right? I always wonder what performers do when they are on stage and then suddenly need to sneeze. I’ve never seen that happen, but it must.

Ron: See, these are the things you need to blog about.

Jenny: Deep thoughts by Ron and Jenny Rough?

Ron: Exactly.
