DAY 202: SIGNS

Incredibly and without intention, the blog entry on Monday actually landed on Day 200.  Which I must take as a sign.  A positive sign.

To validate my superstitious thinking, I have discovered that the number 200 is also an HTTP status code used to indicate a successful connection on my favorite writing venue:  the internet.

However, according to "thejournal.com," the number 200 is biblically stamped with references of insufficiency.  Also strangely appropriate given my blogging track record recently, which, in fairness, has been insufficient.  

But now that we have moved past my summertime writing doldrums, I can get back to the business at hand:  Giving you, dear reader, my opinion on everything. Particularly as it may or may not relate to writing a Great American Novel.  

There are so many topics I have been dying to tackle.  The Smart Girl Dilemma: The battle between beauty and brains, when attempting to be taken seriously in the workplace, in a bar, or even at a cook out. Walking into the Light: Discerning the difference between real and hollow saviors when trying to survive your twenties and thirties... That job that sounds too good to be true?  Probably is... That guy who matches every item on your list?  He may have some shortcomings (I will leave it that).... and other notes on the subject.

The one thing I would like to stop writing about?  Mice.  While this blog may have originated from dreams written down on my bucket list, it now serves the practical purpose of housing my short term goals.  The primary one being ridding my apartment of mice.  I have no aims to become Walt Disney and create an entire fortune off of the backs of rodents, so I ask that they go away.  Forever.

As you can tell, I am ripe with things to say, so I look forward to sharing them with you.

I remain ever truly yours, Milagros

202 Days Down, 163 to go.

I admire the tenacity with which you keep on pursuing the goal of writing the Great American Novel. I am sure something great will come out of it.

You did it again! Gave me my daily dosis of a good laughter. I'll keep in mind the "200" thing.

The best way to get rid of mice is to get a cat. You don't have to buy it, just borrow it until the mice are gone. Choose a younger, but not a kitten.

Please, more on the Smart Girl Dilemma. I didn't know it had a name but it's a constant struggle ...
