Tears of joy, a dork convention, and a Mad Lib
Just checking in! Not much has been going on lately – not much to write about. BUT, I just had to share the following little tidbit: as I was surfing through grad school websites tonight, I started getting extremely excited and I noticed that clear salty liquid droplets were leaking out of my eyes. DUDE, they were tears of joy. Can’t remember the last time that happened. I take this to mean that I’m embarking down the right path here – a new, exciting, totally unknown but completely limitless path that I absolutely cannot wait to explore. This is good. Now, I just need to crack down on those applications already… I think this is one of those tasks that will expand to fill the time allotted.  I’m definitely making progress…. but progress is SLOW. Bleh.
In other news, I went to an extremely dorky knitting festival over the weekend, which was AWESOME. I saw things like this (and no, that is not me):
and this (again, not me):
Much hot apple cider was consumed, and many squeals of excitement were uttered (by me, as well as by the sheep). It was a true dork convention of the fiber variety. So fun!
Hmmm… what else is going on? I’ve been wearing my new boots, which everyone seems to love except my lovely blog readers (geez, guys!). They’re super comfy and stylish with a pair of skinny jeans. I’ve been pretty good with Weight Watchers lately except for some random sugar cravings, during which I eat large quantities of cappuccino-flavored fudge (so yummy). I thought something had died in one of my kitchen cabinets due to some crazy-ass funk but finally discovered it was just some super-smelly herbal tea my mom had bought for me. SO relieved that I didn’t have to scrape up a dead rat or something! Watched the episode of The Office with Jim and Pam’s first kiss tonight – so sweet. (And no, I haven’t seen the wedding episode yet, so don’t ruin it for me!)Â
Oh, and here’s a DD Mad Lib:
I recently decided that all men are either _______ (adj.)Â or _______ (noun).
If anyone manages to guess both blanks correctly… well… good for you. : )
I love knitting!
I knew we had even more dorky things in common besides blogging.

I’ve never knit, but I used to crochet when I was in middle school/high school. Weird!
Glad you are happy. It’s an awesome thing, isn’t it?!

Ok, I don’t knit so I have nothing to contribute to that other than its good to have hobbies.
As for the “DD Mad Lib”
I recently decided that all men are either LACKLUSTER or REALLY BAD DELUSIONS (that I keep having).
Sorry, DD, had to add the end there. And really, if we are delusions, I apologize that we suck so bad.
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:07 amHolly – Awesome!!! I am a total knitting junkie. : )
Honey – Crochet is cool too – I’m a fan. : )
Chris – Do I keep having really bad delusions regarding men? Ummm… I plead the 5th on that one. Hahahahaha.
P.S. – The answer to the Mad Lib:
I recently decided that all men are either CREEPY or JERKS.
Come on guys, prove me wrong!

All guys creepy or jerks? WTF? Come to California. I will show you a gentleman and a scholar. Sure, your panties will be coming off — but that is because I would take you to the beach and sand would get everywhere — NOT because I am a creep like that.
