Quality

I choose only to communicate in short bursts punctuated with dots. Some might call this "lazy" or "uncaring", but I call it "quality".

• Tomorrow is the first day of the new semester. Isn't that just super exciting? I know it excites me. I'm lying. LYING.
• It's kinda cold here. Not in the negative numbers, but cold nonetheless. It makes leaving the house a pain, but I did go on a walk today to try to exercise. My face was red when I came home, but so far all of my parts are still on my face, so I think it will be ok.
• I made pasta today with garlic and oil. Tomorrow I am making pasta with "tofu balls" and marinara. Who knows what wonders Wednesday will warrant?
• Zach said, "I like pasta, I won't get tired of it." We'll just see about that, Zach. We. will. just. see. about. that.
• I'm watching Nero Wolfe on DVD. Surprisingly, this is one show that Zach will actually watch with me. He basically hates all things "murder mystery", whereas I may be obsessed with them. But he really likes Nero Wolfe. He's just one big mystery wrapped in an enigma, covered in chocolate and topped with nuts.
  
• I didn't shower yesterday. I *think* I showered the day before, but I can't be sure. I have however showered today. It's just so cold and dry now, it's hard to make myself shower.
• Speaking of showering, which I am, this may fall under the category, "TMI", but I'm going to go for it anyway. Zach can go for a number of days without showering and he doesn't smell or look dirty or anything. I, on the other hand, look oily and dirty after 1 day of not showering AND if I use deodorant without aluminum (apparently, aluminum keeps you from sweating) which is made for men (because they don't seem to sell any for women) I will smell. SMELL. Like a just-hit-puberty-doesn't-know-any-better-boy. What the hell is the deal? Strong enough for a man, but not for my armpit smell. I would feel more embarrassed, but it just makes me angry. What is the deal? How is that fair? I shower all the time, but I guess we all know why now, don't we? Because otherwise I am a dirty smelly hippy. Ok, I'm not sure I qualify for hippy after not showering, but the first two I am on like flies on...me.
• My little bro is moving to Chicago. Apparently we siblings cannot get enough of the midwest. I think he just missed being within 232 miles of me. I get that. So many people feel that way.
• Cardinals vs. Steelers for the Superbowl. I don't really care, except that my family is rooting for the Cardinals and my husband's family is rooting for the Steelers. Zach and I get married and 6 months later our two family's teams are in the Superbowl, coincidence??? I think not. This is just further proof of the universe's orbit around me.
• I'm tired and my brain is sluggish. I'm going to work on that for future posts. Be excited. BE VERY EXCITED. USE ALL CAPS TO EXPRESS YOUR EXCITEMENT.
