A Little Bit of This and a Little Bit of That

Well, I was just on my downstairs to pick up the copy of the organization book that I am reading. I am confident that it will change my life. So far, every time I read it, however, I get really sleepy, fall asleep, and then wake up feeling like a big, fat, unorganized time waster. But then I heard the computer screaming out to me saying “Type on me! Use me! Please! For something other than reading other people’s blogs and googling questions like ‘can children have melanoma?’, ‘arizona self serve frozen yogurt establishment’ and ‘should I be using “these quotes” or ‘these quotes’?” Anyways, I got distracted and here I am. Story of my life.

I feel like I have so much catching up to do. I’m not going to do it though because I really have some things that I have to get done today like clean out the kid’s school clothes to see what clothes I need to buy tonight, organize the $140.00 worth of school supplies that I purchased at Wal-Mart today. I am not sure that I have ever mentioned on this blog that if I were to die today and end up in hell (not that I am living a hell bound life I hope. This is just for discussion sake.), it would look and smell like Wal-Mart. Also, on the loud speaker, there would be Fox News and I would more than likely be forced to re-take the C++ programming class that I took in college but it would last for eternity and of course, take place in Wal-Mart. That would be my own personal hell. Also throw in a lack of water and McDonald’s as the only eating establishment. Doesn’t that sound terrible? It makes me want to be righteous just thinking about it.

Anyways, I just miss my blog. I miss this outlet. Thought I would stop by and say hello. So, hello.
