1. Me: Left completely alone, I tend to change my own focus. I would like to do some freelance writing. I should organize my desk. I need more fiber in my diet. The dogs could use a shower.
2. Cousin to Me: Living only 30 minutes away after 3 years in different countries has made it very hard to concentrate. If I’m not on the phone with her, I am usually emailing her, thinking of what to email her or in route to her house. And now we want to start a business together.
3. Aunt to Me and Mother to Cousin: Answering an email request for a “looksie” on my wanna be freelance cover letter has launched into total and much needed reconstruction job. I am so lucky to have smart relatives; they constantly make me look better than I actually am.
4. Husband to Me: Advising Cousin and me on possible business venture has added a weird layer to our relationship. Am I sleeping with my co-worker now? Or my boss? Gosh, this is exciting.
5. Trainer to Me: My 23 year old trainer, who works as a firefighter, truly seems to enjoy working me to failure. Yesterday, a crowd gathered as she instructed me to do a man’s push-up while I laughed hysterically face down on the gym floor. Yes, I can make my chest touch the mat but sweet Marychrist* do not expect me to lift it off afterward. And now you see why I spend a lot of time with her.
Not quite 7 degrees of separation between me and this blog but you get the idea. Besides my endearing instability, what’s distracting you right now?
*Term coined in this post and rapidly becoming a regular in Petroville. The husband and I think it’s the bees knees.

Dude, that is so me right now. I have all these plans in my head and I get distracted by TV and emails and the cat hair on the carpet.
Diapers. Babies are SO damn needy.
The presidential campaign is distracting me! Can’t get enough of it. It’s like watching a slow-motion train wreck. And also, my blog is totally distracting me from my work. I’m always thinking about what am I going to write, whether something is blog-worthy, and lately, thinking about whether I should move it to sel-hosting.
I am overtired from baby and when I’m over tired I google obsessively and like, Meg, I’m obsessed with Political news. It’s not good. I just need sleep but I can’t nap, so I google and I snack.
And then the baby distracts me because he’s so damn cute.
Which one of you is going to tell me what you’re cooking up? Huh? Or do I have to stay out of the loop?
You would be an excellent freelance columnist or reporter. Go for it, baby.
All those emoticons.http://www.petroville.com/wp-includes/images/cuteassorted/meow.gif What do they really mean?
The presidential race.
The fact that I’ve been blogging about chocolate and didn’t know just how much of an addict I could become.
The sun just came out in Colorado.
As you can see, I’m technologically challenged.
