Blog Topics: what's a girl gonna do?

I have had this blog for TWO years.  One year and 10 months to be exact--that actually sounds better to me.  And during those 22 months, I have posted a blog 8 months out of the 22 for a total of 12 posts.  That is not a very good percentage for success.  So let's get to the bottom of why posting a new entry is so difficult and review the past blogs.  (other than the previous entry of August 2016 on blogging)

Topics of previous posts:
1.  Blogging (introduction to "Thinking Out Loud")  2015
2.  Raymond--about one of my cats
3.  Tasting Memories--one of my favorite posts about my childhood.
4.  Live Like You Were Dying (9/15)  Posted after a friend's loss of a loved one
5.  Lifelong Friends (10/15)  Girlfriends from elementary school and still great friends today.
6.  Shopping for the Hard to Shop for (AKA: my husband)  12/15  title says it all.
7. Happy New year (1/2016)  I'm sure this was to set off 2016 with lots of great posts.
8.  #53 (my birthday)
9.  The Cat Circus (3/16)  If you have never been to a cat circus, this is a must read.
10.  I am From  (3/16)   reflections on my life
11.  Writing a Blog (8/16)  (bitching)
12.  Driving in Ireland (9/16) (travel bitching)
13.  Blog Topics  (6/2017)

Seems like in August 2016, I was struggling with the same issues.  It still rings true.
The desire to entertain is huge for me.  I think these entries should be entertaining to the readers...yes, I care about both of you.  I remember reading the wonderful writings of Jason Mulgrew.  His blog made me laugh out loud.  I discovered Jason when he was voted one of People's Hottest Bachelors of 2005 (blogger category!)  One read and I was hooked.  I followed his career and purchased both of his books (highly recommend.)  

So trust me, I think of great topics to blog about and know they would be entertaining but by the time I get to a computer and remember to blog, my mind is blank.  (note to self:  write a blog post about forgetfulness)

Even as I write this I also am reminded that I'm pretty certain no one is reading these posts so why does it matter?  It matters because I like to reread these and I want to be entertained.  So here you go Ronna---here is your commitment that I will strive to entertain you in the months to come....but don't expect too much.
