Last week (or maybe the week before or the month before, for all I know with my memory!) there seemed to be this trend on a lot of blogs with the bloggers questioning whether or not their blogs were boring. All of a sudden there was this rash of self-doubt. Someone used the word “mundane” and I had replied that, in my opinion, the point of a blog was to let others into our lives and that this included those mundane moments.
Then we were watching Heroes last night. Don’t worry. This is not a spoiler. At the end of the episode, one character used that same word, mundane, and I feel compelled to quote what he said here:
So much struggle for meaning, for purpose and in the end we find it only in each other; our shared experience of the fantastic and the mundane; the simple human need to find a kindred, to connect and to know in our hearts that we are not alone.
That just made me think of the whole blog experience. It seems a perfect description of why we blog. Well and then there’s me who has the added purpose of being a wise ass with an audience.

Okay, here is what I tried to send from work at least six times this morning…and all I got was an error message!
I love that quote! And I also love a good wise ass!
You will find me sitting front and center in your audience! 
And just FYI, I have the complete Gilmore Girls on DVD

You have redeemed your TV watching status with that statement.

The mundane is my life.
That’s what I’m interested in and that’s what my work is.

So technically my blog is assisting you at your work, eh? Oh, this weekend we plan on experimenting with mojitos, although I don’t think we can match the ones your friend at Kurio’s made.

Good luck in your research! It’s all about balancing the mint, the lime, and the sugar (I recommend making a simple syrup — it’s easier to work with than refined sugar).
