Golly, what a day
Blogged on Thursday, December 27th, 2007 by Rachael. Filed in Blop, Health, Holidays, Philosophical.
Christmas was amazing. The kids loved all their gifts, and we had an awesome day together playing games, looking at new stuff, and spending pajama-wearing time together. I did not work AT ALL, which is also amazing, because I have been working every single day for about a month now. And the day after Christmas I didn’t work either! Well, not until they went to bed. So as far as they’re concerned, I took two days off to be with them. :)
Last night we went out to dinner, with some gift money my grandparents gave me. It was so nice to be able to take everyone to a nice restaurant - that is a special treat now, as opposed to something we used to do on a much more regular basis. Being low on income makes you evaluate everything over and over again, and I feel now that I was much much more wasteful with money than necessary, even six months ago when I was just starting to be broke. I must be growing up some more.
So then I woke up this morning, feeling gross because I ate french fries with my dinner. I don’t know what it is, but potatoes do NOT metabolize for me. At least, they don’t metabolize well. They sit in my stomach like a lead weight, and then there are all manner of gurglings and uncomfortablenesses later (I will spare you the details, because I am nice like that). I keep eating them because I either forget, or because I remembered but REALLY wanted potatoes. Apparently I like hurting myself with food.
And THEN, after I worked some (this is such a nice, boring rundown of my day so far, lol), I joined another group. Another blog posting group, to be specific - National Blog Posting Month goes for the WHOLE YEAR!! I actually think I might be more likely to post every day *now* than before, especially given the fact that, a few days ago, I posted TWICE IN ONE DAY. (I was surprised too!)
So, hooray! We’ll see how this goes. I guess I’m just addicted to joining groups and stuff like that. I’m such a dork.

So glad you had a great Christmas. Apparently I like hurting myself with food too–specifically Chex mix and peanut butter candy :-)
One of my New Years resolutions is to write every day. Not all of it will go on the blog though–for which my readers should be thankful.

Ohhh… I hurt myself bad with Chex mix a year or two ago. OOF. Good stuff, but wow was I sick later. :D
I’m glad to hear you’re writing more too! That’s always a good thing, I think.

What is PWN?
It sounds like robot llamas are dangerous. I will not steal from you.
Smooches, and happy new year! You are on my blog and I will visit as often as I can. Come back and visit me too!

Hey Sudiegirl! I haven’t seen you in a while! Thanks for visiting again… I’ll stop over and yell hi back. :D
(I’ll put up a definition of PWN here soon, I promise.)
