I'm not anti-social, just clueless

As much as this could be a typical In Depth Julie-style topic...it's not. It's about Friends in NaBloPoMo. I don't know how to invite any. So...I'm sorry. A few of you wonderful (and I use few literally) folk have extended invitations to me, but sadly...I don't know how to send friend invitations to so many of you participating that I'd like to add as friends.

Invite me? Tell me how? Many thanks!

Also, I created a group called INTJs Blogging. Anyone is welcome to join, any INTJs, INTJ fans, or INTJ wannabes. ;) (Hopefully that link works!)

Tomorrow (Friday) is the official launch of the Blog Pledges...the list of bloggers for you to check out. So check in!

Darn. I'm an INTP. I missed by one letter.

My husband is an INTJ. Generally impossible know-it-all types. :oP

Jozet. Dude. You can join, INTJ fans welcome. :)

As for the rest of that comment? Amen sistah, ain't it the truth and don't I know it LOL.

But then again, you are related to NANCY ESHELMAN...maybe you have no need of the little people. :)

I'm just so afraid I wouldn't be able to commit to posting every day. That is...not without writing some really crappy stuff.

Truthfully, I have no idea how to invite. I looked around but that page load is too intense for me. :)

'Whatever' is not an actual salary and it really doesn't buy the groceries, either

Teaching my girls how to pull the rope for themselves. It was a pretty innocuous mother's club meeting, and we were talking about babysitters. I don't even recall why it came up, the talk about babysitters. Conversation unrolls so organically in these meetings, these times we get together, without children, and get to just talk. But sitters came up in conversation and the turn of that conversation surprised me. Greatly. Apparently around here it's bad manners to quote an hourly rate for one's babysitting services. "You know what gets me?" a mom said, "You know what sitters I prefer? Who I pay the most to? The ones who say 'oh just pay me whatever.'" She went on to explain that (and this is my paraphrase not her exact statement) to her, it came across as very forward, rude even, when these sitters said they charged X dollars per hour. My mind rolled that concept around for a minute: it's cheeky and rude to state upfront how much you charg...

Restaurant Trauma in Texas: How eating out prompted a really uncomfortable lesson about culture

WARNING: This is NOT a family-friendly post, aka the warning I WISH I'd gotten yesterday before I walked in. Yesterday was a Holiday. I hope you heard the scare quotes around that. Yeah, when you are an adult here is how holidays work: you, same workload as always, kids WOO HOO NO SCHOOL FREEDOM. Do the equation. The result is the day I had yesterday. If math isn't your strong suit I'm pretty sure you can still add that up but just in case let's say the highlight of the afternoon included me dumping out the mismatched sock basket and telling the children to have at it, in a way very reminiscent of Miss Hannigan of Annie . Anyway luckily I've taught my kids that Chores are Fun! and they had a good time. Later, I cranked up the fun-o-meter on a bank errand by dropping in the Halloween store to check out costumes, and upped the ante on "Mom needs new running shoes" by tacking on a "Hey let's eat out at a restaurant!" My husband was able to join ...

Me Talk Big One Day (A Hump Day Hmm for 2-20-2008)

Image source and story of image: National Galleries of Scotland If you were to ask me, I'd tell you that I tend to say things other people dare not say. I speak my mind. I don't always coat my words with a generous dollop of ass kissing. Many people consider averted eyes, swallowed words, and sugar coating their due. Skipping this is perceived as disrespectful. It never quite got me to bite my tongue, though, even at times I perhaps should have. I was bold, arrogant, and defensive about this, as the youth often are about their immaturity. But as I entered my mid-thirties and beyond, I began noticing a disturbing pattern: a tendency to swallow my words and sugarcoat. Was this maturity? Wisdom? Or was it a desire to please? Was I tired and worn down? I sat down and looked backwards--- Russo-style , through the opposite end of the telescope---and tried to figure out if I'd ever been as bold out loud as I was in my mind. Was I? Had I been? Could I be? Should I? I believe I was...
