Help Make Joy More Interesting

My husband is about to surpass my stellar blogging history of three posts so it's time I put pen to paper to stay ahead of his shenanigans. That is of course metaphorical pen and paper. I'd use real ones but they're kind of hard to find these days.

So I'm thinking to myself - what to blog about?

I clearly can't talk about the disproportionate amount of time I invested yesterday trying to select the perfect seats for the Wiggly Circus tour. I woudn't want to go all "Mommy Blog" on poor Ben right out of the gate. The rest of my time recently has been devoted to helping with a softball tournament and trying find reasons why I'm needed at work. These do not great blog entries make.

The conclusion I've come to is I need to do more interesting things. Phil's entertaining and all, but he clearly has no problem sharing his own brilliance with the world. So - I'm opening the floor to suggestions. What wacky hobby should I take up that will lead to the fascinating blog entries Phil clearly expects of us all?

  1. First off, congrats on drawing first blood. You're the first contributor besides me who has written. You're gonna dominate this blog. :-)

    Secondly, about the new hobby. Two words: Monkey Juggling. Do it. Do it now.

  2. Borrow a page from one of PSU's newspaper columnists... get a new piercing each week and blog about the experience. And yes, he did cover pretty much all piercable locations by the end of the semester (including bringing in a guest female piercee where needed....feel free to use phil for the male equivalent there)

    (hey, you did say more interesting)

  3. Silly, Ben. That's already been done. Also, I'm pretty sure the window of opportunity for credibly getting away with body piercing ends at college graduation.

  4. it was done by a guy (with the one exception), so this would be a totally different spin on it.

    alternatively, how about a couple tattoos? tongue splitting? lip-discing? ear-loops?

    the requirement was "make joy more interesting", i think those all qualify :)
