Bored. Probably used that title before.

I decided to blog because the internet has become profoundly boring. I don't remember what I must have been doing online for hours every day in college. 'Cause now, I check my email and I check facebook, and that's it. And then I'm wondering what it was that I so badly needed the internet for. Don't get me wrong; I'm not regretting having it. I'm just wishing there were more to DO. I know there are games. Probably some good games. Probably some addictive games. Hence my avoidance of them.
Right now, cleaning my bathroom sounds very attractive. At least when I finish I will have the feeling that I have accomplished something. Sitting here online, waiting for something exciting to happen, I have more the feeling of going to the mall with lots of money, looking around, and not seeing anything I want. Depressing. Just about the most un-fulfilled feeling...
Time to accomplish something.

trying video...

Hope this works. If it does, yay built-in webcam!

I tried to edit out the part where I'm "coaching" him but I guess I need a little more practice. It cuts out at the end, but it's just as well. He gets a little stuck... that must be the coda.

Nighttime is the Right Time

...and apparently the only appropriate time for sleeping in this house, at least for me and the little guy. Whatever happened to our lovely naps? I have comfy pillows for the couch, and a comfy mattress on the bed, and I am limited to using them only at night! So unfair! Thomas has never slept as much as a child his age is supposed to. And here I am, a person who at least prefers if not requires more sleep than average. I love my sleep and I love my naps and I feel that my life without naps is... suffering in quality. AND I eat more. Just about every problem I could name in my life right now could be eliminated or diminished by getting more sleep. Particularly the problem of where I'm tired... duh. But also my grumpy moods, my body aches, my weight, my stress, and a lot of other stuff I'm sure.
Yawn. I'm thinking dinner out tonight. For me and Thomas. Maybe we'll go to McDonald's and get milkshakes. And I'll get a salad, so I'm not being entirely unhealthy. And he can have whatever he wants. Probably a happy meal. Then again, we could go somewhere nicer. Haha like Arby's. I like the shakes at Steak n Shake, but I don't really like their food. The burgers are okay, but I hate the fries and I can't imagine Thomas would like them either.
Tomorrow is choir practice, which means I get to take the day off from the gym, which means I will feel fat no matter what I eat but also means I can go somewhere else in the morning. I'm thinking the mall... Target... maybe Borders... And maybe if I keep Thomas busy all morning, he'll nap tomorrow... right up until I have to get him up, throw dinner at him, and get us off to church.
Thank you for reading my rambling. Or skipping to the last line.
