Okay, so I bite at blog posts. It's true, I haven't posted one thing for almost two months. I was thinking I should make it a whole two months to make it even, so in about five minutes it will technically be two months. I hope to work my way up to bi-monthly postings, but for now, accept my soggy apologies from my rice-dreamy keyboard.
That's right, this morning I dropped most of a bowl of organic raisin bran and rice milk onto my keyboard- and it's still alive! That alone is worth a blog post, though not exactly green news. It feels soggy, though, like the keys are softer and...stickier. Well, at least it got a snack. Keyboards are hard up these days for healthy options. I, however, had to forfeit the rest of my breakfast. That'll teach me to eat at my computer. Which I was lectured not to in the digestion book, over and over...yes, anyway.
So, despite the lack of posts, I have not been sleeping for a month (though that sounds deliciously fantastic) or out of green ideas. (I just realized that sounded like I said I haven't been sleeping, as in so busy I couldn't sleep. While it's true I am a partial insomniac, I meant I hadn't been on a vacation during which I slept for a month like a hibernating bear. Which is kind of a bummer.) In fact, I've been busy brainstorming for the next stage of Green on the Inside's development (more to come later) and organizing for this Get a Little Greener Campaign (remember, Green a Little, Change a Lot! Two posts down! That's the advantage of being a lazy blogger) trying to figure out how to get it started for real despite bureaucratic obstacles (my least favorite kind. Usually I go for the evenly spaced tires and the rockclimbing wall.) Meaning, there's apparently not a lot of money for this gig. Read: zero dollars. At least, that's what I have been told. So going forward, I am in the process of finding partners, funding, and ingenious routes to productivity, something hard to come by in city government.
So in the process of re-imagining Green on the Inside's next year and exploring ways to genuinely implement this project, as well as sleeping (I like sleeping) and eating a LOT of...something (I know I've been doing that), I managed to get sidetracked and found myself thinking up great new blog posts but never writing them.
Where to begin? It's all so overwhelming. Great green reads, fascinating news, the emergence of summer from spring into locally grown food season...new green tips on the air...some great new recommendations of products and ideas for a green life in a crappy economy...fabulous recipes for local eating (I am currently enjoying a homemade bowl of soup made from locally grown veggies, right above aforementioned keyboard) my new obsession with gardening and eco gardening habits...I will get to it all. I promise. Right after I come back from the mountains of New Hampshire on sunday. In the meantime, enjoy this gorgeous rain if you are local, and watch the magic of everything bursting with life unfold and unfurl with luscious color and wild composition. Summer: much better than reading blog posts.
