Thoughts on blogging:

Damn you, world, for letting me try to fancy up my blog in Safari...when I could have just opened Firefox and been done two hours ago!

During my renovations, I got a site meter and I have to say, De.Press.Ing. Shouldn't people be stopping by, at least randomly? It just goes to show that my suspicions are correct: Blogging = Narcissism. Well, at least for me. According to my husband, who is convinced I will write a best-seller and we will jump on the bandwagon of famous authors who bathe in royalty checks and offers to make their novels into Major Motion Pictures, this is just a stepping stone.

Wait, what's that? That happens to only a very select few? Authors generally STRUGGLE to make it big? What do you mean, REJECTION?

To make that particular dream come true, Joshua should have married JK Rowling,or one of those easy breezy beautiful chick lit authors. He should not be counting on me, or my writing to take him anywhere. (That's why I'm in nursing school. To ease the pain when the bubble bursts. And also, because I'm a hypochondriac. Know thine enemy and so forth.)

Things I am excited about today:

Going back to school. Yes, it's true, I've actually read all the books I intended to, watched all the TV I need (well that will be true after tonights brand!new!Grey's Anatomy), and used up my laziness quota.

Things I am dreading:

Going back to school. IRONIC. But shockingly, I have really enjoyed sleeping in past 5:30am, and not having to wear see-through white scrubs in 30 degree weather.

Random fact:

I am considering not eating meat again. I was a vegetarian for most of high school and even a vegan for 7 months (that ended when all my clothes started hanging off my body in a scary, Nicole Richie-esque way and I started to loathe the smell of hummus). Recently, meat has been making me sick. I ate sesame chicken for lunch and it had the strangest taste, like someone had dropped sugar on it. At least I am hoping this is what happened, and not something more sinister.

Closing Statement:

In-laws arriving tonight. Sister-in-law moving permanently to Chicago. TONIGHT. The reality of this new development hasn't really set in yet. So I'm going to go contemplate it. Over a brownie. That I made. From a box.
