I'm now off to hopefully sleep. To sum this up: always double check your oven before bed.
Tuesday, January 19, 2010
Do you ever have any "I left my oven on" moments? Mine seem to always happen right when I'm going to bed. Those times when your mind seem to wind down, your muscles begin to relax, and then suddenly, "Did I lock the door? I turned off the oven right? I wonder if I forgot to do any assignments for tomorrow. Was I supposed to call in to work today? I put the laundry in the dryer, right?" Just an idea of the thoughts running through my head right now. Why this made me want to blog I don't know. I think that it's just another example of uptight Americans. Even when it's time to rest it rarely happens.

Happy New Year!
I can't believe I haven't posted in 2010 yet! It's weird to say, 2010...
Of course I must review 2009 since it is my first post of year. Last year was amazing. My resolution was to have more fun, and that certainly happened. Okay! Review done!
I went to Barnes&Noble tonight. I love that place. I got a new book, "The Pessimist's Guide to History." Amazing, right? I love books because they're adventurous and fun. They help achieve goals, answer questions and help you learn more about life around you and life before you. I want to learn to speed read (I decided tonight) and I also want to get a really cool organic cook book (you know for when I can afford to cook organic things...okay for when I dream about being able to afford to cook organic things).
I also love the notebooks they have there. They aren't just your average notebooks. These are special, different. They just look like they should be used when you're on an airplane heading to an amazing land or when you're fulfilling a life-time goal. They are just made for writing about adventure and spectacular days. I have two of their notebooks. One meant for adventures and one meant for everything theatre. Both only partially used. I feel like I have to save them for things that outrageously important.
I think I still want to buy other notebooks from there every time because I want to be able to fill them quickly. I want to be able to have such adventures everyday that the notebooks just spill out information. I think everyone wants their lives to be like that. Why do I think that? Because the isles most crowded tonight at Barnes&Noble were "Finances" and "Self Help." There is nothing wrong with either of those isles, nothing at all, but it shows people aren't satisfied. People want more money or the knowledge to balance what they have better. People want to be better. They want to feel better about themselves. People want to live adventurous lives and not just read about them.
I don't have a lot of money...Okay, I barely have any money. I can't afford the gas to drive all over the U.S. (although I am saving up for a road trip in May). I can't afford to go to Ireland, England, Switzerland, Greece...Everywhere! But I suppose I can be adventurous here. I can still fill up my notebooks about little Ol' Springfield. I can still have the time of my life, just living my life.
Of course, I will always be a pessimist, so we'll see how this goes.
Happy New Year.
