Insomniac’s friend

September 1, 2005 by Alison Hodgson 7 Comments

Awoke before 4. Not worried, happy actually, house cleanish, laundry caught upish, what is the dealy-o?

There is a beauty in blogging; it can be a place to articulate one’s thoughts and also provide a public service. “Can be” is the key.

Some of you may don today’s title as your own sobriquet. But there are some who have not been blogging daily and cannot call themselves the Insomniac’s friend. Those who can (Karen, by the skin of your teeth, you
Lucky Girl) wear it proudly for you are good and kindly people. Those who cannot (I won’t name names beacause I am a kind lady and YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE) just hang your heads in shame today and then knock out a post. Quality is not to be considered.

Thank you.

I am leaving shortly for Chicago “all family of us” as Birdie once said. We contemplated leaving Beanie with a Grandma but Millenium Park is on the itinerary and we thought it would be wrong to visit a giant bean sculpture and not have our Bean in tow. We are staying with a friend who lives in the 21st century. I might be able to post a picture of it.

Today we are going to the Museum of Science and Industry. There is a, reportedly, amazing exhibit on the Human Body. This morning I was wondering if Birdie will be able to look at it. I think I am going to encourage her to try. C. Riley will be mesmerized.

The Aquarium is also on the agenda and that is enough for this visit. Well, there is always IKEA. We need school desks or tables. I refuse to hold Hobo School one more day. It is nice to recline on the floor for reading but sitting in the box car and trying to write is a pain.

    I’m very lost. My blog seems to have disappeared. Just thought I’d mention it. 🙁

    P.S. I can’t wait forever for Blogger to find my blogs. I’ve set up temporary housing at “spillforth2.blogspot.com”. It’s a little cramped, since I’ve combined my two households: Spill Forth Chameleon and So the Echo, but all are welcome. We’ll even keep the light on for you. 🙂

    Hope you are enjoying Chicago. Ahhh…public art and museums and even an aquarium. There are some things I will always miss about living in a big city.

    Hey Lady!!! How was the Body exhibit??? I went on the 29th and 30th!!! Not sure about you but I was in awe of our creator, awed to tears actually… most people were either “that’s neat”-ing or “eew gross”-ing… and here I am not sure whether to weep or fall on my face and worship… yep… pretty powerful!! Well call me sometime! I miss you… maybe I will just have to stop by… what time does school let out at your house????

    Carmen,

    School lets out at noon. We are still in the research phase with our schedule, but noon is safe to say for the next week or so.

    The exhibit was amazing and very busy as you know. With the kids I wasn’t able to take the time I would have liked, but I am glad I went.

    Call me. I am eager to get out and about.
