Sorry, I've been busy
AND sorry for making excuses for my blogging absence... But sometimes excuses, lame or not, are better than having no reason for doing....or not doing something. Today, I used my creative mind to make a cup of iced coffee, which i've been craving more than oxygen lately. I bought a bottle of chilled Caribou Coffee and eventually tracked down some ice and skim milk, at which point my stomach and taste buds breathed a sigh of relief :) Anywho, i've been busy, as I said before, wrapping up the semester, signing up for new classes, and living in general. I promise to blog at work later though..... PROMISE. So enjoy this for now, and later, be ready to ready my blog on the fortune cookie fortune "You will soon come into wealth", what wealth is, and how you'll know when you "come into" it. <3 -em

Less than an hour left of work.... What to do.... WRITEBLOG! But not in this font color, i'm already sick of red :( Ok, much better. A slight change sometimes makes all the difference. Beginning to compile that list from my last blog really upped my mood. I've noticed that it doesn't take much to make me happy, but that I often depend on outside sources to become happy, in making that list I realize there are tons of things I can do on my own to make myself happy! This was clearly an important epiphany to have. Ok now i'm sick of this font color.
I remembered another thing that's made me happy in the past is making changes in my appearance, specifically drastic things like piercings, drastic haircuts or dyes etc. Now, i'm considering piercing my nose. I already have a piercing, a half snakebite on my right bottom lip. I'm wondering if adding a nose piercing is just too much? I don't know. I was also thinking about getting this tattoo I designed, but i'm wondering If I should commit to having something permanently on my body, especially something that will cost a lot. I'm indecisive.
I just can't wait until it's summer.I'll feel healthier, be able to exercise more, swim everyday, and spend the bulk of my freetime outside, my favorite place. I could go on listing forever about why i'm so excited for the warmer months, but I'll save some for a later blog. Summer just rocks, It just feels better to be alive in the summer ......
So! in conclusion, I still have a half hour left of work, but this has truly been a worthwhile waste of time :) New thing to add to my list of likes, #7: stumbleblogging <3

I must say, I'm feeling a lot better than I was when I wrote the stress blog! I started thinking about how when I do or think about even the littlest things that make me happy, I feel much better, much less stressed. So I decided it was time to compile a little list of things that make me happy. Prepare to be stunned, or atleast surprised... or maybe not, but read it anyway since I took the time to write it :)
1. Almost anything to do with Tea. especially pouring in the milk and watching it swirl around the
cup. pretty teacups, tea made from cool things like watermelon seed ETC!
2. Making chicken salad, or cooking in general, but making chicken salad especially, and
making it in a different way each time with really creative ingredients like avocado and mango.
3. Finding essays that people have written in the recycling, reading them and grading them and
laughing at them.
4. Spending hours in a chair at a bookstore with tea, and actually finishing the book so I don't have
to buy it, or buying it if it's good enough.
5. Going to my beach at night, alone with a blanket, a thermos of warm milk with cinnamon and
sugar and looking for treasures until it's too dark to see.
6. Making cards for people out of construction paper and whatever else I can find.
more later :)

Stress. It's my newfound defeatest attitude in combination with my pile-up of sick/makeup work. It's a person that I don't even want to talk about who should be the only person I want to talk about. It's me wondering if i'm going to be good at what I do in the future, if I'm going to be a good mom, a good wife etc. It's knowing that as much as I pretend that I don't care about this, I actually do.
When I went to the hospital to get all those blood tests to find out why i'm sick, the first thing they asked me was if I was stressed, and without any thought, I gave the answer i've given all my life; a perky "no!" with undertones of "I'm just fine" and "I should be the last person you'd ever worry about." It wasn't until the needle pricked the soft spot on my arm that I realized I really am extremely stressed. I've always thought I was one of the lucky ones who just never felt pressure and let it effect me. Now i'm starting to realize that it's not a choice, and i'm going to have to confront it, throw my whole body into it.... head first. For me, being that i've never had to deal with this before, it's like kneeling on the edge of the grand canyon, seeing the distance to the bottom and knowing you need to get there. Sometimes the feeling before you jump is even worse than the landing.

I'm not a big fan of the color purple. NOT the book/movie, the actual color, purple. BUT I intended to write this blog about Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches, and I felt that the correct color to write about that in would be purple.
Today it was gorgeous outside, but I didn't notice because I slept almost all day. It wasn't my fault. I had a tough week and I needed to sleep it off. When I finally woke up (at 5 PM) I decided showering was futile, and I did laundry instead. I realized later what odd logic it was to remain dirty and choose to make my clothes clean. oh well. logic shmogic.
Ok i'm sick of typing in purple, so i'll mention the PB and J thing real quick. > PB&J's rock my socks, I like to eat them often, and especially with a tall glass of 2% milk. THE END! CHANGE FONT COLOR.
Ohhh a lovely shade of teal! Which reminds me. i've decided to completely repaint my room at my house in Maine. I want one earthy teal accent wall, and the other 3 walls a very light version of robins egg blue. I plan to do the trim in a sandy taupe and the ceiling, door, and window trim ivory. Right now it's a terrible victorian burgundy with everything else gold or black. The room makes me feel like a cross between a vampire and The Queen of England. yuck. I'm ready for a change. Well this was a really boring blog. sorry guys. i'm going to bed.

I've been sick for over a month, and after doing a finger prick, a pee test, and taking 4 vials of blood, my lab tests all came back negative. Besides still feeling like crap, I guess i'm happy. When I was getting checked out, they did find a heart murmur (sp?) which they said was completely normal in thin people and that it wouldn't cause any health risks. Good. So i'll just keep taking this hulk strength tylenol they gave me, and hopefully I'll get better.
The weather is shitty today, and it doesn't really elevate my mood. As a matter of fact, I should be typing a paper, but the stupid weather has made me feel so yucky that i'm just not going to. I won't be surprised if I fail EVERYTHING this semester, just due to a combination of always feeling sick and feeling like when i'm healthy I should be having fun, not working.
I'm still craving eggs benedict.

I skip this same class so often, that I would almost consider the time i spend skipping it as a seperate class. It's odd, but I feel like I get the most done when I'm supposed to be doing something else. It's a motivation and jolt in creativity spawned from my procrastination, and I love it. After all, as costly as it is, it's just a college course, and I feel like i'm gaining more by not going than I would if I went and subjected myself to my professor's monotone voice and stubby sausage fingers gesturing wildly about ethics. If you've ever played Candy Land, this particular professor is a spitting image of King Kandy (minus the royal clothes and cupcake staff) He has that stubby, royal, inbred look that makes most people want to walk the other way. The truth of the matter is, I decided to skip today's class so that I could get some work done, but I doubt that's actually going to happen for 3 reasons. Lets begin.
Reason 1: I am just too hungry to work. For the past 48 hours the only thing I can think about is Eggs Benedict. Ask anyone who knows me and they will mention my obsession with eggs, If something has eggs in it, I will eat it 99% of the time. Eggs Benedict is my absolute favorite thing on the planet because, not only does it contain eggs, but it has meat, half a chunky english muffin, and ofcourse, a generous amount of hollandaise sauce (also contains eggs). This food is a mouthgasm and I can't get it off my mind until it's in my stomach.
Reason 2: I am writing this blog. Writing essays about Darwin and Newton doesn't really get my creative juices flowing. I'd much rather be able to write about whatever I want, and that's what I'm doing in this blog-o-tron.
Reason 3. I can get all my work done while i'm at work. Wednesdays are notoriously quiet in the Library, and also notoriously overstaffed, meaning that I won't be the only one doing all the work. Lovely. Yes i'd much rather put off typing essays until I'm sitting comfortably at my desk with no other place to go. Hopefully by then i'll have forgotten about the eggs benedict.....
