It’s been a while.

January 14, 2024

It’s been approximately 6 years since my last post and honestly very little has changed except:

  • Maya escaped the madness of my parenting and is now at college.
  • We now purchase frozen onions exclusively.
  • ChatGPT has replaced Alexa, Siri, and Cortana as his first love. (I’m somewhere after Cortana who apparently no longer exists.)

The list of what hasn’t changed is much longer:

  • My hair is still mostly a frizzy mess.
  • Ali’s socks still mostly reside on the floor of the living room.
  • I still don’t share very well.
  • I still won’t touch a hotel remote. Or sometimes even our own remote. (I swear I did a post about this but I can’t seem to find it.)
  • My cooking hasn’t improved, nor has my desire to cook.
  • Ali’s mansplaining has reached new heights.

I’m not really sure why today felt like the right day to resurrect this blog. It could be because:

  • Maya encouraged me to start up it up again before she left for school. I think she thinks the fact that work is my hobby is quite sad.
  • Ali encouraged me to start it up again. His motives are a mystery but I think his logic has something to do with the fact that the busier I am the less I’m nagging him.
  • I felt like writing something where I could use scores of bullet points which always make me feel articulate and smarter than I really am.

In any case feel free to come by for a dose of absurdity whenever you feel called. (Just please take my over-the-top nonsense with a grain of salt.)

    Ameena! Your brilliant dry wit arrives on a cold gray winter day like a shifting in the clouds allowing patch of sunlight to illuminate the sidewalk. One can’t can’t resist hurrying to bask in its glory and pray it’s a sign of better days to come! Do NOT wait another 6 yrs to post again, we, your devoted readers, implore you!

    Oh wow Ameena – how wonderful to see you here again! Very glad to get a brief catch up with how things are. We’re all a lot older (and wiser??…maybe) than we were…
    You have inspired me to possibly re-take up my own old blog – untouched for nearly ten years I think now. Perhaps this will be the year?

      Thank you Ken! I’m definitely older…probably not too much wiser.

    Well this brought me much joy as I sip my morning coffee. Welcome back!! I live in a sea of discarded socks.

      Thank you Heather….I can only imagine the socks you have to manage.
