Delay and Thanks
My husband is recovering from a 30-year corporate gig, and apparently some habits die hard. The other day he said, “Tricia, you really need a focus for your blog.”
“Why?” I asked
You’re all over the place with topics. I really think if you were to focus on just one or two topics, the blog would be much better.”
“Um. OK. I can write more funny things about you.”
==================================================================
A Slight Delay
Remember that male voice I promised was going to join Shout this week? Well, we’ve had a tad delay and he’ll be here Monday. His series of articles on domestic violence is one of the bravest acts I’ve seen in quite a while, and I think there’s a lot of good to come from his honesty and bare-naked truth telling. This will be his first foray into public, so if you have time on Monday, please stop by and shout back with some support.
==================================================================
Thank You
I’d also like to thank Five Flower Mom, Derfwad Manor and Manager Mom for adding Shout to their blog rolls this week. And a really special Shout out to Jen over at The Story of Us for her kind words and support.
If you also think life's too short to be quiet, you can subscribe for your daily dose of Shout here.

So glad you found me and I found you! Very entertaining. And, we can help each other - I’ll teach you the good, bad and just plain huh? of kids in sports - and middle school - and high school - and you can help educate me on my older husband and his denial that he now qualifies for AARP!

Does your husband have a blog?
My husband is always after me to write about more serious matters. IMO there are enough serious matters around.

I always tell my husband to be careful not to say anything stupid or I will blog about him.
Have a good weekend and I’ll see you soon - Kellan

First I would have told him to shut up…in my head…Then I would have said “Why don’t you start your OWN blog, and show me how it’s done.”
Men.
Ugh.

Yeah, what they said.
I think your theme is just “good stuff for women”. And since all of it is compelling, we will come back to read what you have to say today, whatever it is, rather than you jabbering on about the same thing day after day (not that there’s anything wrong with that).
