Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall,
All the kings horses and all the kings men,
Couldn't put Humpty together again.

Have you ever noticed how every portrayal of Humpty Dumpty is as an egg? Where in the verse does it say that he's an egg? Why not a dish, or a mirror or a porcelain doll? Eggs aren't the only things that can break. And when they do their insides spill out. Why do the pictures never show that? Just an interesting, totally non-important wonderment.

Cleaning

Have you ever made up tasks to avoid something? That's what I'm currently doing. And have been doing ... all day. Yikes! But I really don't want to clean my bathrooms. So far I've finished reading my book, watched Deal or No Deal, talked to my husband, posted on my Quotes blog, checked all of my blogging friends' blogs, played in iPhoto, cleaned the other rooms in my house, talked to my mom... basically the list goes on and on. This post is just another deviation from what I really should be doing. But it's all working. Except that I really do need to clean the bathrooms still. And now I can't think "Wow, I'm glad I cleaned the bathrooms earlier so I can relax now." No, now I'm thinking, "Why, oh why didn't I clean the bathrooms earlier so I could be relaxing now?" Hindsight is always 20/20.
