Others writing the Sunday Somethings: Kerry
Something that makes me happy: Getting a good deal. We drove out to the Carolina Premium Factory Outlets in Smithfield. Wow did we get a lot of clothes for not that much money. Plus we had some gift cards leftover from birthdays and Christmas.
Something i am struggling with: I feel a little over-committed to Toastmasters given the level of enjoyment i get out of it, so i told the president of the club that i would not be serving in an officer role next year (TM years start in July). That earned me an earful from him. I do enjoy it, but about an hour a week is all i can commit to it, and this year it’s been more than that.
Something tasty: Top Secret Restaurant Recipes’ version of TGI Friday’s Black Bean Soup. It is some of the yummiest stuff on earth. AND it has a lot of vegetables in it, and i “volumize” the recipe by adding even more veggies… and it’s STILL the most wonderful thing on earth!
Something i learned: How to work the new DVD player Lance bought me. Thanks, sweetheart!
Something from the bridge table: I can’t think of any good stories at the moment.
Some things i am doing towards my goals: I did my and Lance’s taxes this weekend. It’s been on the to-do list for awhile. I actually like doing taxes, call me a freak if you want.
Something i am reading: Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Still.
Something happening around the house: Uncharacteristically, i bought a bunch of DVDs this weekend. They are all movies that we’ve seen before, but they’re all movies i love and would gladly watch a bunch of times (which is my main criteria for purchasing movies). We’ve been watching DVDs this weekend.
Something i am thinking: About giving up alcohol altogether. I don’t drink much as it is, but lately i seem to have problems having only 2 or 3 when i do drink.
Something i am looking forward to: Helping $Bill celebrate his birthday.
Something i am hoping: That it doesn’t snow anymore. I’m done with snow, and ready for running weather. Though i heard it might snow again this week…
Something random: I love walking through the furniture aisles at Target (or wherever). I get a similar feeling in an office supply store.
Something captured: Nugent presiding over his backyard kingdom.

Freak! Looking forward to running with you tonight, and 1 or 2 only after the run. I think I was having that problem about 8 years ago, I gave it up for 6 months, now I only want 1 or 2 and that’s maybe twice a month. And as a bonus, you’re running will like you more.

You’re calling ME a freak – you’re the one swimming 42 laps, biking 42 min and running 4.2 miles today and calling it FUN. (-: See you at the place later tonight.
Your/you’re – i’m always embarrassed when i mess this up in public. Same with their/there/they’re.

where’s the “something I am doing toward my goals” entry?!?!
I feel jipped.

Doing taxes isn’t enough of a goal? OK, you caught me, i kind of cheated on that one.

Freak.
And I’ll be the devil on your shoulder by saying: drink if you enjoy it. Two or three is not a lot. As long as you’re not acting like you’re at a frat party, you’ll be fine. Remember, I’m not a doctor and I enjoy drinking 2-3 many nights a week.
