Lament of the uncool

I've been wanting to start a blog to create a platform for the many, truly amazing people I know to share everyday wisdom and thoughtful observations about ordinary life. I want a place where people can share meaningful experiences and moments, be they innane or just plain commonplace. This is the opposite of the hip-mama, ultra-cool, see-how-trendy-I-can-be blog. It's taken me some time, but I've learned that I'm just not cool, nor hip, nor trendy. I'm o.k. with it. I'm way too distracted most of the time to be on the cutting edge of anything. I am not a multi-tasker so paying attention to anything besides "what I can make for dinner when I get home from work that will get us out of the house by 6:00 for name-that-function?" is next to impossible for m.e I'm o.k. with that, too. It's a mundane life, but maybe that's what makes the tiny moments so great! (Yesterday's tiny moment was watching my 6 year old successfully write her numbers from 1 - 30) What about you? What are your challenges or tiny moments? How are you un-hip?
