Howe Invisible

Did you ever wish you could be invisible? When I was little I used to think it would be a very handy thing. You could go into the kitchen for cookies, you could listen to what your parents talked about with their friends, you could sneak outside if you needed a breath of fresh air. Oh, there were all kinds of things you could do, if only you were invisible.

Nowadays I wish it again. If I could just be invisible I could get on with my life. I could do the things I normally do, and finally enjoy doing them. It takes losing your comfortable old boring routine to really appreciate how comfortable it was for you. I am engaged in an uphill struggle to finish a project bigger than any other project we have worked on. And if it were just Grover and I doing it, we could, maybe, get it done. But, alas, we are working on it with friends. Friends who are about as spaced out as they get. And our work ethic is making our friendship more than just a little bit precarious. And this is when I most want to become invisible...and to have a magic wand. With it I would make the project complete, collect my earnings, don my invisibility, and go home.

If this post seems too obligue for you, there is a reason. Don't ask. Remember, I am trying to be invisible. At the same time it is extremely hard to blog and recede from view. Grover should be blogging..he is very good at taking a word or a moment and spending a hundred words on it. I would like my blog to be somewhere between sharing each day's moments, a la Natalie, and philosophizing about them, a la Erin. I love both of your blogs, and wish I were there, so to speak.
