Being at loss of words lately, has led me down some strange paths of distractions, none of which ended at this blog. I’ve been wanting to get back in the swing of things for while, blogwise, but I’ve just found myself at a complete lack. Of interest? Of energy? I’m not really sure.
Yesterday I started a post and mistakenly obliterated everything I had written (and yes, I should draft my writing in a word program, but I don’t) when I was interrupted and failed to successfully hit ‘⌘ + T’ to open a new tab, and navigated away from my post page. Fortunately, I hadn’t saved anything (it wasn’t going anywhere worth while).
So, instead of starting over, I started mucking around with refining my search results page. They had been left half finished months and months ago.
Anyway, this leads me to my point. While making these refinements, I was testing a few random searches and one these queries happened to be for the term “hair“.
I realize I’m setting myself up to be shrinked, especially given the title of this post, but “hair” was simple and easy to type, and that’s why it came out. The title, it was simply carried over from the previous post (completely different topic, of course) I managed to lose.
Back to what I was saying, I was in all accounts, completely expecting my query for “hair” to return zip. But it didn’t. In fact, it returned 3 posts. Now that’s not a lot by any means, but hair, when have I ever written about hair? I was curious, so I checked. And what do you know, I was writing about hair. More precisely, about pulling my hair out.
I don’t know why it hadn’t occurred to me before, but you might say it’s a sign. Vacation anyone?
If it makes you feel any better, my “hairball” blah-og post was one of the last inspired ones. And I was exhausted when I posted it. As we learned, as long as you don’t eat your hair after you pull it out, we don’t have to check you into the “center” (just yet).
You are overworked. Clearly. And I have no idea how you produce such amazing >anything you make
i’m still confused…what does hamburger helper have to do with “hair”…?
my lunch lady in the grammar school cafeteria used to serve up something entirely similar to hamburger helper and it often contained her hair
Lauren, I think you answered your own question. But that said, I did mention that the title was completely unrelated and merely residual from the previous post I managed to excommunicate with faulty navigation, on my part.
