I need a theme

Isn't this a cool picture? I felt productive putting my manual camera to use when I ventured across the yard to bring cookies to my neighbors. The best thing about giving baked goods away is that you're killing two birds with one stone. 1) The receiver is happy to have cookies and likes you more, and 2) You won't eat as many yourself. Therefore, although it might seem like a thoughtful act, it can also be selfish... depending on who's doing the giving...

I really need more of a theme for my blog. It's been nearly a month and I haven't written and I'm blaming it on my lack of a theme. The problem is that every time I have an "interesting" thought or "insightful" observation, I have a hard time motivating myself to write a full blog post about it because I don't think it's relevant to anything. I think I went about this whole blog business the wrong way. Even my title is a mess. Thoughts, trials & tribulations. The name of my blog basically gives me permission to think like someone who has ADD. I also haven't been doing much to inspire anything thought-provoking. But I have been reading good books:

• "All the President's Men," by Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward. It's about the Watergate scandal and is fascinating.
• "The end of overeating" by David A. Kessler. I've just started it but it seems like a summary of why sugar, fat and salt makes you crave more sugar, fat and salt. Somehow, it doesn't stop me from eating cookies.
• "My Father's Tears" by John Updike, which is a collection of short stories inspired by New England Suburbia and foreign travel. I really love reading short stories when I need a break from a slow part of a long book or a little more variety.
• I finished "The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo," a few weeks ago and sometimes it still haunts me. It's such a finely-crafted mystery with so many interesting elements but it's disturbing in a graphic way that's hard to forget. I'm also a huge wimp.

... I really need a theme.
