As I wrote the other day, I'm the most ADD brief writer around. I write a sentence before I get off on some freaky tangent. Here are the things that are distracting me today:
1) Bejeweled Blitz on my iPhone. Each game is only 1 minute long, so how is it possible to waste so much time on it?
2) Brett Favre and Peyton Manning. I would really enjoy watching the two of them go against each other in the Super Bowl. But Brett just can't help himself from throwing interceptions, can he?
3) An 18-pound cocker spaniel can be a bigger presence in a house than you might think. It's rather hard to type on a laptop when said cocker spaniel believes she should have dibs on the lap. So I've tried to put the laptop in front of me, but she gets very annoyed when I try to type over her.
4) Very interesting goings-on on our local newspaper comments section today. One of the most prolific, and annoying, commenters got kicked off the website, causing much speculation and gossip. Such fun.
Well, I guess I can now cross #2 off that list. (Except now I can start the speculation about whether Brett will come back next season or whether he will really and truly retire this time.) And as for #3, she seems fairly content curled up on the back cushion of the couch for now, so I can type freely. So now I only have to keep myself away from #1 and #4. And whatever new think I find to distract myself.
But I have managed to get some decent work done today in spite of myself.

Newspaper comments sections have such drama! I love it.
It's especially true in a bedroom community like mine. I really should stay away, though. My obsession cannot be healthy.
