happenings.

here's what's going on around here:

-i'm currently pissed off that f*ing snooki is having a baby but i have to get tests because i can't. yes, i'm whining about a stupid "famous" person. don't judge me.

-i got a card in the mail today. it was a "just because" card. i cried. i think it might be the nicest thing that has happened to me this year. people don't send mail anymore. especially people who only live up the street. i am so blown away by this act of kindness and so thankful. it just goes to show what a few minutes writing a card and mailing it can do for someone going through something tough.

-speaking of crying, i've become this overly-sensitive emotional disaster. is this what my life has become? i cry at random moments. sometimes in public. sometimes when ben is asleep and i'm still awake and i feel like an idiot. i need to get over myself.

-it was 60 degrees today. it made my heart happy. i hate winter. snow, you can melt anytime now.

-we finally bought a table to eat at. but it's too tall. so, i'm forcing ben to cut down the legs to make it the right height. no, i'm not really forcing ben but he will do it. because he knows that happy wife=happy life and his wife isn't happy with a table that's too tall.

-2 kids [students] went home today with the stomach bug. 1 kid was crying and gagging and we thought he would go home. 2 kids were out already because of the stomach bug. super. thanks, kids.

-i can't do these photoaday things. i don't like being confined to rules. i do what i want. i'll take a picture when i feel like it. take that, you photoaday trend. i've thought about just picking and choosing which photo days i like and taking the pictures for them when i feel like it. you know, for inspiration. but doing it my own way. because that's how i do things.

-i should do a blog post all about how i don't like rules or being told what to think/what i should do, etc. i think it's [part of] why i don't like [any] religion, why i'm a feminist [but i don't like being labeled], and why i had some problems with college. i like learning, but i hate lectures & having to go to classes that have boring lectures that regurgitate what i just read--i'll have you know i did well in college though, i'm intelligent but i wanted to do things my own way. maybe i'm really just a hippie.
