Why is it when I get a surge in traffic, I go completely blank and have nothing to say?

Hello, new people. Welcome to my little blog. I’m sorry but there will be no meaty posts today. You came on the wrong day. Come again tomorrow. Tomorrow there will be meat.

So in lieu of an actual post with witty observations and deep insights, I give thee random musings from a tired mind.

• Sleepy Hollow, NY is uber cute. I’m totally making my husband take me here this fall for Halloween headless horsemen festivities. Because I’m a total geek.
• Roberts Chrysler Service center in Meriden, CT gets major props for 1) fixing our van in record time; 2) having a computer specialist mechanic on staff who could find the damn problem and fix it; and 3) just generally being awesome because it really sucks to break down on the side of the road on the way to vacation. Likewise, Tina from the Budget rental place at the Hartford airport gets the Kick-Ass Customer Service Awards for giving me a huge SUV to rent and just generally being nice and calling me honey when I needed to hear it.
• My husband is the Best Husband in All of the Land because he stayed awake and drove through the night to get us home safe and sound. And he had to brave the New Jersey Turnpike at 1 am, which is saying something.
• Home is knowing that when you finally pass out and fall asleep, you’ll be in your bed with your cats and your pillows after several days of going without.
• Never underestimate the depth of corporate stupidity and don’t be surprised when you see emails first thing in the morning that could potentially ruin your day. Then don’t let them ruin your day.
• I can’t wait to swim 1000m in my neighborhood pool with my brand-new goggles that actually fit my face and work. It makes the whole experience so much better.
• Salad with shredded mozzarella cheese is delicious.
• I have an ingrown hair in my eyebrow and it’s pressing on my brain and giving me a headache. How can one little hair have so much power?
