Uh oh...the addiction is starting

After I posted my first-ever blog yesterday, I was proud of myself. Regardless if no one reads this ever, I like the idea of getting my thoughts out. Normally, I take pessimistic thoughts, internalize them to the point of undue stress and, eventually, bitterness that has been festering. Blah!

So, almost immediately after I posted my blog yesterday, I wanted to post another one. I didn't even have anything in particular to write about, I just wanted to. I realized that I'm an adult who doesn't need to blog about nothing so I resisted. But then I started to think of other things I could blog about. My life isn't usually all that interesting, especially during the week, but I am finding myself taking little mundane experiences (like going to the book store to further my geek-dom and buy more people puzzler books...don't judge me) and trying to add some sort of spark to them or tweaking them into an interesting experience where everyone did a dance in the middle of the street in perfect unison even tho we were all complete strangers...(geez, back when I had TV, I watched too much of it) I have a feeling the next few weeks are going to be very well logged on here. That is, until the new car smell of blogging fades away. I guess there are a lot more worse things to be addicted to...

I miss my family. Tho last week floats near the top of all time crappy weeks in my life thus far, there were some good bits, too. I got to spend quite a bit of time with my family, both ones that live far away and ones that live within a few minutes. I got to hang out with cousins, aunts, and uncles I hadn't seen in years as well as ones I haven't seen in a few weeks. Although the close ones are almost harder because I used to see them almost daily but for reasons unknown (and some a bit more clear), we've drifted apart. I got to see a part of my family that, tho I wish I never had to see under such horrible circumstances, I'm grateful I saw. Even if it was for a week, I think it brought everyone "back home" and made me appreciate all of them and how much I love and need them in my life. Except for Dave. I hope Dave. Haha!!
