No time for blogging
Or reading, writing, or chores;
Busy but happy.

The topic is too broad to
Write meaningful stuff.

That's Us. A Little Highbrow. A Little Mundane.
From The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield--there's a great description of a minor character (the doctor's wife) in the book. It goes like this (page 104):
"The doctor's wife wasn't a bad woman. She was sufficiently convinced of her own importance to believe that God actually did watch everything she did and listen to everything she said, and she was too taken up with rooting out the pride she was prone to feeling in her own holiness to notice any other failings she might have had. She was a do-gooder, which means that all the ill she did, she did without realizing it."

Is "stuff" something you
are allowed to say in an
anything haiku?
I'm not sure, but apparently I didn't worry too much about it! :P
"Busy but happy." It should be one of our family mantras.
Maybe "Busy and Happy." That "but" makes it sound like "busy" is a bad thing. And it's really not. Right? :P
Ah, the humanities major looking at rhetoric. I suppose you're right. Which feeling were you going for? You're right--busy isn't necessarily bad.
Still, how I miss your
political perspectives!
Signed--your ignored blog.
I loved yours, Mommy! :D And Daddy, yours was really funny. XD
Busy AND happy. I think.
Jimmy! I miss talking politics, too! I think we are on opposite sides this time and I'd love to discuss that together. I'm trying to come up for air, but it's almost NaNoWriMo time, so we'll see how that goes. :P
(Love your haiku, btw).
Thanks, Thing 1!
