Random Thoughts

I check my google reader several times a day.  It's so fun to read updates on the lives of the people I care about. I'm sad when I have none to read.  However, I have not always been the best about posting.  I vowed to do better about writing on my own blog but am slipping again. Besides writing about running yet again, there are just random thoughts that each are not worthy of a post by themselves.  So, I've decided to compile them here in a post to avoid an even longer blog-gap.  I will also vow to do something amusing and blog-worthy in the near future.  I promise. So, here are the thoughts:

* Don't knock your favorite insulated, flying WV, conveniece store-style cup off the night stand.  I did.  After five years of drinking out of the same cup in the middle of the night, it is no more.  The cup broke!  I was sooo unhappy.  But, I was also cold, did not want to get out of bed for a new cup, and therefore spent the night thirsty.  But, I don't even know what cup I would use!

Yeah...the two layers cracked apart.  I didn't even know that was possible!

* Apparently, when your office heater brakes, it may first have to get colder before it gets warmer in there.  You may spend a whole day wearing your coat and scarf wishing you could type with gloves on.  But, you wore think knitted ones, so you can't.
* The office white elephant gift exchange is strange.  It's possible that you will go through the entire thing thinking of a nice use for every single item (maybe even stealing one or two as the opportunity arises) to end up with the the next to last opened present--which also happens to be the only one that you don't want.  It may even be a set of Corona beer glasses.  And, you may in fact be the only person in the room who does not drink alcohol.  This may then be akward for everyone else.

I think I'll save these for a gag gift...

* Even when you check the box on Amazon that says "send in as few shipments as possible" you will still get waaaay too many boxes if your order is more than a couple items.  They will come from warehouses all over the US.  It will induce anxiety in any control-obsessed person because you could end up with as many as 10 boxes spread between three mail carriers all at the same time.  And, they never. update. tracking.  Of course, the day after it came you get a text saying that it was delivered...duh.

* Overhearing your husband teach your dog while snuggling/studying for an exam may be one of the most adorable things ever to happen.  Especially when the dog seems extremely content that it is going on, and your husband seems to think it's the most natural happening in the world..

Could they be any cuter?

* I hate the cold.  Anyone who knows my probably knows this fact.  It was a motivating factor in my moving to the south.  However, I hate it more than ever.  I've felt like I couldn't get warm for the past week or two.  Last night, Devin put my favorite blanket in the dryer until it was HOT.  Then, I finally felt warm.

So, there are my thought for now.  I'll try to update again soon!
