Now I should have my bases covered.
But I was up sooo late the other night trying to figure out some social media stuff (because my facebook account has maxed out at 5,000 friends and I feel bad because what about my 5,001 friend?) and I was too tired to post, so ooops I didn't quite make my goal and I still had four months left.
But then I went on a walk and decided that if I didn't post on one day it could be forgiven if I posted twice the next day, and because I am the type of person who loves to make up her own rules, it worked! Tonight I posted a post about my father in law, and now I am writing this post, and I feel all sorts of BACK ON TRACK!
Only, this post is sort of lame.
Maybe it will get better if I post a picture that Chup took of a fly on the wall:
Intriguing Chup, thank you.
Speaking of a fly on the wall, today Lucy and I were at lunch with our children downtown when we indulged in some sisterly gossip, I mean the kind where I spill leaky details about my life, and when I was done squeezing the juicy details out of my soul the lady sitting at the table next to us said, "Hi. I read your blog."
Ooops.
And I said, "Oh shoot. I was gossiping."
And she said, "I didn't hear anything."
But between the both of us? I HAVE A LOUD VOICE. I am deaf in my right ear (born with a hole in my eardrum) and I compensate all the time.
(Hi cute lady from Central Bank! Mum's the word alright?)
Well, I promise a better post next time. There is a lot of good to do in the world and unfortunately, this post isn't going to help the cause.
On the bright side, I have a new facebook page so if you want to be my friend on planet facebook you can like me there.
I am c jane and I should say "mum's the word" more often.

Mums the word.
But only on Facebook Planet? Can't I be your friend in real life as well?
Probably not as this IS the digital age…
Curses.
No more creeping through neighborhood and rooting around through your garbage. At least for now...
I bet your walls are coveted by flys everywhere. I mean that in the nicest way.
YES- every day until christmas! today was kid's first day of school and im feeling totally melancholy but that was a bit of bright news... thanks cjane!
After reading your post, the only question I have is, WHY did Chup take a picture of a fly on the wall? lol
lol I am deaf-ish( look I have color coordinated Hearing aides!!) and have a really loud voice too. It embarrasses me often too as many people overhear things that I was not really hoping to share with EVERYONE. oh well
Can I ask a question about your eardrum? Are you 100% deaf in that ear...or just can't hear well? My 7 year old has had holes repaired in both of her eardrums, and I am always wondering how much/well she can actually hear?
Good luck posting every day! That's always slightly exhausting.
And posting twice in one day doesn't make up for not posting the day before... Just my opinion.
I like you here and I like you there. I like you, like you anywhere.
I had someone at church tell me that sometimes when they sit by me they get really embarrassed because when I whisper it sounds like soft yelling.
Wuh the wuh-wuh?
When I meet people for the first time, and they say "Hi! I read your blog" I never know what to do. I get all nervous and awkward and then I leave as quickly as possible. It weirds me out.
just so you know...your blog makes my day.
i quite liked this post. random is good. and i love that people know you everywhere you go because of your blog. nice.
Well, I highly enjoyed this post. fly on the wall, Christmas goals, gossipy lunch and all. :)
i blew out my eardrum so much they couldn't repair it as a kid...so now it's just a mass of scar tissue around a big gaping hole. but there is an upside to the definitive loss of hearing in that ear...well a few, to be correct. 1) if i lay good ear down on a pillow, i can effectively cut out 74% of my husband's snoring. 2) i frequently misinterpret what people are saying when there's background noise...so frequently get the give of humility in the form of, "you're a smoker. really? i never saw that coming. i mean, there's that smell in your house, but you know...oh, you're moving and misplaced your fireplace poker...hmmm..." 3) when i plug my noise and close my mouth and blow - i whistle out of my ear. it disgust many, but delights a few, myself included.
I love you. And I love random posts. It just speaks about a person. Happy day to you. Thanks for the smile this morning...
@theandyoneals I have significant hearing loss in my right ear, but I am not 100% deaf. I had my eardrum repaired when I was 8 and again when I was 14 because it kept tearing as I grew. But I didn't noticed hearing loss until I was in my mid-twenties.
Because my left ear can hear corn growing in Iowa I am left to think my holey eardrum had something to do with the hearing loss in my right.
I declare, it has been an adventure!
@Becky, I'd like to joyfully amen your first point. If I lay on my left ear it's as good as earplugs.
Oh, I get that all the time: "Hi. I read your blog." (Just kidding.)
But I am a loud one. And my content filter doesn't work very well either. No one can embarass me as much as me. Sigh.
interestingly enough, you don't even sing off key with being half deaf and all. i give you a round of applause (in your left ear).
No, actually this WAS a good post! Your honesty is truly refreshing! LoVe.
I like these kinds of posts for two reasons. First, because they always make me smile. Second? It feels like you are hanging out with me, talking to me as if we are friends in real life--and I like that too!
Hey, I didnt know you were deaf in your right ear! Thats one of those pieces of information that jar you (like when you hit your funny bone) booooiiiing...because, I too am deaf in my right ear! I lost my hearing in my right ear at 13. I forget about it sometimes until after ive said what?....what?....what?...to my husband and he goes, "I SAID...." And then I remember : ) I think thats so cool we have something in common!
right ear deaf girls of the world unite!!
love your blog!

I totally lay on my left ear when i sleep. And when the baby cries and im exhausted and joe, my hubby, gets her, then I have such a great excuse. Its like my mom in law with her disabled placard due to her post polio syndrome. Its sucks, but she vocally rejoices in her good parking spots! So a silver lining to everything!

If you are talking about yourself, is it really gossiping? My mom is deaf in one ear and sometimes when I go to whisper something to her I whisper in the wrong ear.
I have a hole in my right eardrum too! I am always talking loud and everyone has to repeat themselves to me, especially when I can't see to read their lips. I feel a friendship bond despite the fact that I am not on Facebook.
You're funny, Court (I can call you that since I read your blog...isn't that how it is these days?). Thanks for brightening my day!
a cjane post every day for the rest of the year?! hooray! that just made my day. :) you rock, lady!
i thought "grease is the word."
It was fun meeting you ladies yesterday! I PROMISE I didn't hear your convo. I was so engrossed in texting my friend to see if she thought it was weird that I say "hi" even though I only know you from the blog world. . .that was the first thing that came out of my mouth! Anyways, it made my day!
but why? that seems really hard.
So I read all the comments and I'm wondering if tons of people read your blog and the ones with holes in their eardrums commented... OR if this is a strange gathering place of those with partial hearing loss. Hmmmmmmmmmmm
If only that fly on the wall could speak . . .
Mum is always the word between friends.

Just so you know, us Jewish folks have no problem acknowledging December 25 as Christmas, and likewise acknowledge Christmas as an actual event, even if we personally do not celebrate it. So please, Christmas it is!
I think posting twice in one day DOES make up for skipping a day. You know you can always change the date. Then we'd never know. Unless of course we were REALLY stalking you...... Mmmmm some of us might know, but for the rest it would be all good!
Good luck with the FB friend battle. Look what happened to this lady: http://technolog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2010/09/02/5033412-booted-from-facebook-woman-sues?GT1=43001
