I know I’ve said it before and I don’t blame anyone if they want to call bullshit, but I think it’s time I resurrect the old blog. Talking with Brian, I realized how much I enjoy looking back at old entries and reminiscing about the good times. I’ve slacked as much as I have mostly because at this point, work is a great deal of my life – particularly the griping (and okay I admit it, some of the good stuff too) – and talking about work on blogs can get you fired, you know.

I also know how well-read this little bugger is. I’m going to go ahead and trust Angie not to turn me in. Rock on, for I am a fearless beast.

Additionally, I have grown incredibly stupid since college ended and apparently writing it supposed to cure stupidity. If I don’t write, is this what it’s going to be like for the rest of me life? Am I going to grow progressively dumber until age 50 when I forget how to tie a shoe? That’s up there with forgetting how to go up or down stairs, a problem I am inflicted with at least weekly. Don’t worry, it always comes back.

I was watching a special on KARE 11 this morning, which, speaking of, I have been made weepy by their extras TWO days in a row now. Something about Boyd Huppert brings a tear to my eye. I hope I never run into him in the grocery store because I am so over crying in the grocery store.

But I digress. The stories on KARE 11 about high school students, this morning particularly, make me feel academically inferior (hello, Tower-Soudan High School!) and generally intellectually inadequate. When did they start teaching high school kids how to form sentences so well? And to use nine-syllable words? And the compassion and the Japanese-speaking and the girl who is getting her associate’s degree before her high school diploma! As you can see, Tim McNiff and the gang (but mostly Tim McNiff) move me. FOX News can chew on my anoos – I’ll take feel-good stories any day. And do you know why? Because feeling good feels good. And what’s this I hear about the red, white and blue being involved in a war? Nonsense!

PS, FOX, THE POPE WASN’T DEAD!

In other news, I made the biggest purchase of my life thus far last night. Savings? Who needs savings when you can have an ELLIPTICAL MACHINE? I figure a stab at healthiness wouldn’t hurt me so much, now would it? If I spend one more month of my life fretting about my weight, I’m going to attempt liposuction on myself with a paring knife and high-powered dustbuster. Did I mention Darren and I overindulged at the ChopHouse before going to 2nd Wind to pick out my new baby? Crabcakes and tenderloin and lobster mac and cheese, oh my! No wonder I’m so porky!
