How I intend to survive Post A Week 2011

To be successful at the Post A Week 2011 Challenge I really need to pick up my game and limit absurd junk (like my last post) to small snacks in-between hearty, satisfying blog meals – which hopefully keep people coming back for seconds, just like my mum’s port-soaked Christmas trifle.

So while trying to squeeze creativity from my brain, like blood from a stone, it finally dawned on me. I was scrolling through Joe Hildebrand’s (@Joe_Hildebrand) blog at The Daily Telegraph, and I realised, like him, I could write about absolutely anything; things happening in my life, things happening in the media, and even my parent’s fat, sixteen year old cat with bowel irregularities.

So, what are some things happening in my life right now?

I’m having a career dilemma (but I’m too seriously in denial to address it at the moment)

I’m alone in my pyjama’s in my stinking hot apartment and not bothering with the a/c or fan (read: sweating profusely). Feels just like a sauna, so I’m like detoxing, right?

I’m eating tomato and cheese on crackers

Tonight I’m going out to dinner with the girls – DING DING DING! We have a winner.

Because dinner with the girls is not just dinner with the girls. I’m going to dinner to meet the other female constituents of a bridal party of which I am also a member.

So there we have it. Up until the month of October, when the sweet nuptials will be exchanged, I will be dishing out regular advice on how to be the perfect bridesmaid. Whether it be by following my example or avoiding the mistakes I make. Of course, my blog will not be consumed by bridal table settings and flower arrangements (there’s still plenty of space for the ridiculous), but it helps to have a regular theme to stick to, say, at least once a month. 2011 isn’t looking so bad after all.
