One of the tough things for me for blogtoberfest is not coming up with things to say (even though sometimes I know they are inane). It's having to turn on the computer on the weekends. I often don't use the machine on Saturday or Sunday. I prefer to spend my time with my mp3 player and my spinning wheel or knitting or (gasp!) my family. This has led me to do quick posts in the morning and then I can turn off the technology and go about my day.

Today is going to be a pajama day. I may actually put on sweatpants but it will be a pj day in spirit. I feel the need to relax and indulge since yesterday I cleaned, did laundry and did the grocery shopping. The weather is glorious and I may take the wheel outside and sit in the sunshine and spin. If the mosquitos (which have been horrendous this year) don't eat me alive.

So, I'll leave you with an interesting link: postsecret. I always assume that everyone knows more about what's on the internet than I do. This is probably because my family delights in reminding me I am a technology dinosaur. Postsecret is a site that Emily led me to about a year ago. It started with a man, Frank, who passed out blank post cards and asked people to write a secret down. It had to be something that no one else knows and it had to be true. The response was overwhelming. He has received millions of cards in the few years he has been doing this. There are several books of postcard secrets and a website where he posts some each Sunday. If you go there, I am warning you. Some of the secrets are heartbreaking. Some are mean and bitchy and some are heartwarming. But they're always interesting and so very human. If you already knew about it, I'm not surprised, you all are a pretty savvy lot, enjoy. If you didn't, go try it out. See how many secrets you share with others.

Have a happy Sunday.

Oh, and the bicycle for exercise is not going to work if I ride it to the store for ice cream and whipped cream! But the resulting banana splits were delicious.
