My New Year’s resolution for 2009 was to be less of a freak about germs and cold prevention. For my entire adult life, I have downed vitamin C like it was candy, sucked on zinc lozenges if I even looked at someone with a cold and used antibacterial hand wipes after I shook someone’s hand. I even once wore a N95 face mask at Christmas when my sister had a cold. I might have been a freak, but I rarely was sick. I never had a cold more than once a year and for a few years, I didn’t even get one cold.
But was it because of my insane efforts or would I have been healthy either way?
Based on the THREE COLDS I have already had this year, I am going to have to say that being a germ freak pays off. I did none of the above “crazy” things and as a result, three weeks out of the 40 so far this year have been spent sniffling, sneezing, coughing and complaining.
Resolution, over.

I was looking back at my blog and realized I used to blog a lot more often and a lot more verbosely (spellcheck says that’s a word). I decided to list my top 6 favorite blog posts for those of you who haven’t followed me until recently.

Now that I am starting grad school (yay! yay! yay!), I figure I need to find some way to gain 10-15 hours a week to dedicate to school. Here’s a rough breakdown of how I spend my “free time” each week:
5 hours – watching a cooking show with Dave while eating a tasty snack of cheese and crackers or popcorn
3 hours – reading before bed to ensure I am sleepy enough to actually fall asleep
7 hours – pleasure reading
3 hours – napping … shut up, napping is cool
10 hours – surfing the Internet, wasting time on Facebook, checking my email
2 hours – Gubbing … sometimes I Gub way more, sometimes not at all
5 hours – shopping or running errands
Napping can’t go. Neither can watching cooking shows while eating a snack or reading before bed. I also think maintaining a schedule of crafting is a good idea because it’s a creative outlet unlike any other in my life. I also don’t think it’s reasonable to think that I would have fewer errands to run. I’m loath to give up pleasure reading, but it’s not out of the question. The biggest thing I think will have to go is surfing the Internet. (cry cry)
I’m too excited to mind.

Our blog is back! Laziness prevented me from updating the credit card information after our card expired, but I finally got around to it.
It’s been a busy month or so. The big news is that I start grad school on Monday! I am super excited! It should take about 2.5-3 years.
We also opened a new shop on Etsy featuring vintage stuff. Check it out.

I have a pink moped!
It is a Honda Metropolitan. I have gone to the grocery store with it twice already. As you can see, I look like a badass M#@#$F#@$er on it!

Dave asked me on Friday what my hopes and dreams are. He has a laundry list of hopes and dreams. I couldln’t think of one.
But overnight I realized that I do have a dream … I would LOVE to do standup. Even if it was just an open mic night or something. I LOVE standup comedy. I love making people laugh. And I enjoy performing for an audience. Standup seems like the best of all worlds.

It’s been four months since Kaya died and I still miss that little girl. Maeby is an awesome dog all on her own, and her personality is so insanely different that you couldn’t imagine she’s a “replacement”. We love her for who she is, not for who she’s “replaced”. But every once in a while I feel a pang for that teeny, tiny dog that would curl in a ball on your lap and sleep for as long as you’d let her. I hope she’s looking down from doggie heaven and seeing Hobie’s constant harassment by Maeby and smiling a big, doggy smile. Karma’s a bitch, Hobie. Literally.

Dave and I had a crazy-lazy day today. We busted our butts last weekend, so it was kind of nice to just kick back this weekend. I did end up working for about an hour, but otherwise … sort of just lazed around, hung out with the puppies and watched cooking shows on the Food Network.
Ahhhh ….

The only photo that turned out OK. Can you spot the puppies?
