Well I keep getting fired up about a topic, thinking of how to write about it, and then never finding time to post before I lose interest in the topic. Or at least losing the fire to type about it. I want what I write to be understandable and anything beyond streams of consciousness about a serious topic take time to write. I can find time to type a few sentences here and there but it is hard to write more. Kids can do that to you. I like to type with two hands, so I have to wait until my kids are asleep or otherwise occupied and then I have to use that time for other things.
So here I am now. I need to find time to transplant some plants too. The tomato plants are getting too big to move easily. I am very excited about my vegetables and will be extremely disappointed if I don't get anything from the plants, especially if it is because of my procrastination/lack of time to take care of them. I am trying. Wish me luck! And any advice on getting my son to fall asleep faster would also be useful. The last few nights it has taken him almost 2 hours and I can't go to bed until he is asleep.
I need to find a better time to write so I am working on that. In the meantime suggest some topics that would interest you to read about. I have a few ideas but want to write what people would like to read. Here are some of my ideas: homeschooling, sex reassignment surgery, cosmetic surgery, the need to justify one's money, health care, Empire a book involving the sharp division between conservatives and liberals in this country, health and weight, and lastly caring for the environment (may or may not include global warming debate). So what tickles your fancy? A very eclectic list I know.

Welcome to Crazy Trees
I have thought about starting a blog off and on for a year. I am the ultimate procrastinator so I never got around to it until now. What changed you ask? Well I read yet another article dealing with class and race and I got the urge to write my opinion. This has happened before but this time I had my friend's blog to urge me on (or that had the sign on thing right at the top of it which made it super easy, you decide which it was).
So I signed on and was faced with a conundrum: what to call my blog and what url to choose. I wanted the two to be the same or similar. And I had already chosen my signature name so I wanted it to relate in some way. I thought about it. And thought about it. And thought about it some more. I got an idea. Maybe I could base it off a quote I liked. I spent a few hours searching quotes. I found several I liked, but none that could be shortened easily to a sensible length for a title. Then I thought, maybe Creative Insanity. I hurried and entered it in. It was taken. So then I thought some more. My other ideas were also taken, so obviously not very original anyway. I wanted something different, and I didn't want to have to tack a number or my name on the end to get it to work. I wanted my url to be very searchable and easy to remember.
Well fast forward two weeks. Yes, it took me two weeks to decide on a title. I do have other things to do during the day. I was thinking about autumn and the colors of the leaves. I love trees (except for these trees that grow like weeds in the area I live). I always want to live somewhere surrounded by trees. So trees could be included. Since my signature is Nuttygirl, it seemed obvious to use crazy too, so Crazy Trees was born. And low and behold it was available.
This is meant to be an anonymous blog. If you know who I am in real life, do not post it here. Sometimes I will write well thought out responses to things that trouble me or that spark my interest. Other times I will post random things that I am thinking about. It really will be a crazy blog in that regard. My mind moves from topic to topic quickly, wanders back and forth between a few things, and finds weird things to think about so you will most likely see this reflected in my entries. Hopefully you enjoy that.
Feel free to disagree with, agree with, or question any opinions I put forth. This will make my blog more interesting for me (and hopefully everyone that reads it). I love debating various issues and hearing different views on topics. I don't expect everyone to agree with me, so don't expect me to agree with you. Try not to get offended with anything I type, as this is my opinion, I might feel it is correct and well informed but I could always be wrong. I probably will not admit that though. Happy reading!
