What to Post?

It's Friday night. My weekly blog post goes online at 5 a.m. Saturday morning. Every Saturday morning so the post has to be written, edited and scheduled before I can go to sleep on Friday. I've forgotten before and there's always this awful panic moment when I realize. Then it's the hassle of having to figure out how to log in from my phone and try to navigate the screen that I'm used to looking at from my ginormous laptop screen. I swear, nothing looks the same on my phone. Some tech person would probably explain to me that's because there's different formats for the websites depending on if I'm looking at it on a laptop or a smartphone. At which point I'm trying to keep myself from screaming 'Deceptecon!' and running, screaming, the other direction. I may not know much about technology but I've seen 'Transformers' enough times to be concerned when the devices start getting too smart. It's probably some alien robot in disguise. Or am I getting my alien races confused with the ones from Men in Black? Hmm....

Well whatever nefarious aliens there may be, I still have to write a post. So what to write? I've been thinking about this all week. Discarding one idea after the other, scrolling through my 'draft' file that has all those ideas that started out so great then didn't get finished or just didn't turn out the way I thought they would. Occasionally I find one in there that I actually did finish but didn't get around to posting for some reason. Those come in handy every now and then but alas today is not one of those lucky days so I need to write something. But what?

I flip through the pages in my Bible and find some great notes but nothing that seems to need to be shared this week. I leaf thru my planner but haven't actually written any notes about what to post in there that I randomly forgot. So I check my phone, see if I left a note on there... no. Hmmm... what to post?

It shouldn't be this hard. I mean I've had this blog for four years now. I've been posting weekly for about two years now so why do I still go through this struggle? I mean really, shouldn't there be something interesting enough to share in my life? Well... yeah, no, there's not.

And letting my mind wander about why or why not I have nothing interesting to write about will not get the post written any quicker. So focus Kattarin! What are you going to write about?

Hmm... I have no idea.

That's okay, I'll call Mom and Dad. Maybe they'll be able to give me a suggestion. Mom? Dad? What should I blog about?
Well, what do you mean you don't know?
Well I don't know or I wouldn't have been calling you!
Ugh! Parents! They're so unhelpful sometimes.
Yes, I'm still talking to you and yes I am being sarcastic. I wonder where I got that from?
What do you mean write a post about what to post Dad? That's weird. Who would want to read that anyways?




Oh wait, you just did!

Hope it put a smile on your face too!
