Top 10 Things I've Been Doing Instead of Blogging

- and, yes, they are all really justifiable. Serious. 
(of course, that is coming from me, who has an impressive ability to justify just about anything, and if I can't, I can come up with conditional proof- x100 - in which I attempt to dispute the argument on grounds of my valid reasoning. ahem.) 

Moving on you know, before I get all off track and lose sight of what I was really talking about. That happens to me sometimes. 

10. Driving. With my program, I spend 2 hours a day on the road + the actual program. That means I am away about 7 hours a day (with no computer, only my iphone, which is my excuse (ahem, valid reasoning) as to why I do not respond to emails/calls in a timely manner. I can type on that thing, but only so long)

9. Trying in vain to prevent Asher from burping every 24.1 seconds. It is so great when he lets one rip at the checkout of a store. Since my lectures, punishments, threats and such are not working, I am going to tell everyone he has a condition in which he is unable to stop burping in social situations and he is an animal...how many time outs can one kid do? How many tractors and privileges can be taken away?! He can even withstand Corey's lectures! and that? Unheard of! I can't sit through more than 14 seconds of Corey's lectures without going to my happy place- and 14 seconds is pushing it.

8. Reading Atlas Shrugged 

7. Running, and Naming My Runs. They have pretty much all been something along the line of, "I love humidity, I love humidity, think of the alternative, in which we are back at temps and windchills of -30...what kind of stupid state do I live in that goes from heat indexes of 110-115* in the summer to wind chill advisories of -25*+ in the winter? That is a sick swing. 

6. Wondering if there is a little circle thing that makes the degree symbol instead of me having to type the *. I could google it, but am too lazy, and also read In the Plex last week, so I am still processing all the information google has stored on me. And, no, I am not going to dwell on the fact that as I process this information, I have my gmail account open, and am typing in blogger. Humans are a study of contradictions of our own benefit, are we not?


5. Wondering how long this post is going to end up being, seeing as though I can't seem to stop rambling. 

4. Watching horror shows on tv. I never watch TV, and now I remember why. Since we live in the old age, in which we have no way to record our favorite shows, we are stuck watching whatever is on the TV at the time. Being that I pretty much only watch baking shows, where they make cupcakes and cookies, that leaves me with a pretty small window. So, when I came home last week, I turned on the TV and went to look for a baking reality show. I happened to pass by something about women who were stalked. (yes, yes, I do realize this may not have been a good choice with someone of my...well, paranoia...) I was riveted. Corey came in and tried to change the channel, saying I have plenty of paranoia on my own, and don't need to add to my arsenal, but whatever. I figure that watching these shows helps keep me safe. Since I am learning the psychology behind the scary stalkers out there, I will be better prepared in case someone decides to stalk me. (Which, good fricken' luck, because orderly and predictable, I am not. but also, please do not see that as a challenge. I am not a challenge at all, really. I would look at a real challenge, like trying to find Atlantis, which would be way more fulfilling than trying to stalk me. thank you for your consideration.)


3. Thinking that I should do a blog post detailing my journey to paranoia. Trust me- each of my reasons is backed up and 100% valid.
