Sorry it's been a while - I think my percolator had stalled out. GOOD NEWS: It's been in for repairs, and should be humming along shortly.
GOOD NEWS: I went to Crown Burger for lunch!
BAD NEWS: I have decided to drop out of the Pocatello Marathon. I realized over the weekend that there was no way I could get myself in shape in two weeks, and that I REALLY need to focus on getting a job rather than all sorts of muscle strain.
GOOD NEWS: Onion rings are healthier than french fries, right? What with being made of a non-potato vegetable and all...
GOOD NEWS: Mom has decided that she wants to participate in a marathon, so we will train together to get ready for one a few months from now (maybe January).
BAD NEWS: Chances are excellent she will completely kick my trash. *whimpers*
"GOOD" NEWS: Apparently most of the male half of the Brighton High School drama department has a crush on me.
BAD NEWS: The only guys who crush on me are in high school, rather than, say, their older single-yet-still-normal brothers (ha!) or their widowed/divorced-yet-still-awesome fathers.
DEPRESSINGLY BAD NEWS: I'm actually speculating on the marital possibilities of the FATHERS of the high school boys I know. (I have GOT to get out of this state.)
GOOD NEWS: It's been a fascinating few days, debating with an online friend of mine on an intense topic and feeling like I've been keeping up!
BAD NEWS: ... Nope. We're good.
RELATED TANGENTIAL NEWS: Thanks to the debate, this friend's mother thinks I'm the coolest thing since Cheez Whiz. I probably should have warned him that I tend to have that effect on my guy-friends' mothers. *waves to Potentate*
GOOD NEWS: I should be able to pick up Disc 4 of Season 2 of Roswell from the library this afternoon.
BAD NEWS: I'm watching Roswell, when I should be reading Romeo and Juliet.
BAD NEWS: I just can't make myself read Romeo and Juliet.
GOOD NEWS: I have three different movie versions of the play arriving today, one of which is a "full-text" production. I'll be able to listen to it (when I'm not watching Roswell) and make jewelry for the upcoming family wedding at the same time! I love successful multi-tasking!
GOOD NEWS: The Boy I Thought Would Never Call did actually text me.
BAD NEWS: He told me to email him, and then left the country. *Sigh*
RANDOM NEWS: On my way back from Crown Burger I saw a guy at the corner who was either doing a few minutes of Tai Chi/Yoga/D&D moves or pretending to be a superhero while he was waiting for the light to change. Tough call.
COOL NEWS: Check out his awesome photo my niece took! I think these hippos should be mascots here on my blog, and that they need names. Any thoughts?
Watch out for falling turtles,
Cyd
