Seriously folks, sometimes you just have to write down every single thing that is bothering you and then highlight and erase it all.  I just wrote a very very very long entry in which I listed every single freakin’ thing that has been getting to me over the last few weeks because my whole self felt like it could explode at any second.  But then I wrote it and when I finished writing it I thought “blecch.  Who wants to read that?” so I deleted it.  But still, writing it out totally helped me work through some of the irritating crap that has been plaguing me.  Plus, while I know you would all be supportive and kind, I’d much rather make you laugh.  So here, in sort of chronological order are a couple of the fun/funnier things that have happened in the last week.

On Monday, my friends Wendy and Katie and I got together and had a crochet/gab fest.  Katie wanted to learn how to crochet so I volunteered to teach her the few things that I know about it.  Will drove me over at 11ish and I stayed until around 5:30.  We mostly gabbed, but there was some crafty stuff too.  I had fun teaching Katie the crochet basics, but I think she might have more fun with knitting. It was really relaxing to just sit around with friends and crochet and chat.  This, when paired with my excitement over the latest Better Homes and Gardens magazine arriving in the mail seals it: I am officially a grown up.  I am okay with this as I did not really enjoy my teen years or most of my 20s.

Yesterday I came down with a sinus bug/head cold in approximately 1.5 seconds.  No joke.  In the middle of the afternoon, it just HIT me.  I felt like I had walked into a scotch broom bush.  So, in an effort to knock it on its ass I took a Benadryl and went to bed super early.  When I went to bed, Will was sitting in the living room playing WoW on his laptop and watching television.  Apparently I woke up at about midnight and was convinced that Will had gone somewhere and left me in the house all by myself.  Apparently I was so convinced of this that I wandered into the computer room (where Will had moved to) and demanded to know why he had left me all alone in a house that was so cold and so dark and so quiet when he knew that I didn’t feel well.  Apparently I got very teary over the fact that I was “all alone” in the cold and dark and quiet apartment, and I told Will that I needed him to come home now and then I kissed him and wandered back to bed.  I have no memory of doing this.  I also have no memory of sitting straight up in bed and asking him “are we winning?” when he crawled into bed an hour later, but I guess when Will said “yes” I responded with “Good.  Can’t let them get it.” and then laid back down and started snoring.

What fun or funny things have you done recently?
