1. Book Review
Serena.
So I stumbled upon this book thanks to a 100 dollar Amazon gift card that was BEGGING me to read and an ill timed "books to read before they are made into movies in 2013" article.
Obviously, the book that cast Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper was going to be something that I decided to read, and for $2.99 on my kindle I was sold.
I cannot believe that I am about to say this, (because if any two actors could carry a movie based purely on their beauty, it would be these two) but there is no way they can make this movie worth seeing.
I waited for a plot to develop for about 60% of the book, got increasingly disturbed by how completely bored I was, started to wonder what went through the mind of whoever bought the movie rights, and then breathed a sigh of relief when I finally got to the end. Which was as retarded as I imagined it would be after about 2 chapters. There are two completely unrelated plots (neither of which are interesting) and they compete for my attention with the same chance of grabbing it that 2 cats would.
WHY WOULD ANYONE WRITE THIS BOOK?
The only part that gripped my attention were the rather pathetic descriptions of the Biltmore estate, and only because I've been there.
Don't buy the book. Just don't.

2. Babies make me cry now.
I cried when I got an e-mail about babies. I cried when I saw a baby. I cried when I thought about how I might never have a baby. I cried again telling a friend about crying about how I might never have a baby. I may or may not be crying again right now. And I can't even blame hormones. I hate that they were right about this ticking clock thing. Darn biology.
3. My resting heart rate....
...is consistently 57 bpm. Not to brag, but for my weight, that means I'm "super fit". Yea. Br
4. Quilting and Cabbage
Are my two new obsessions. Obviously, I cannot actually do any quilting. But in the past 3 nights, I have created 10 awesome patterns. And consumed 2 entire heads of cabbage. I never knew how much I loved terribly conservative things.
5. Speaking of awful things we love....
I think this guy is funny, okay? Glad I could get that off my chest.
6. I don't know what I want to be when I grow up
But some ideas?
Heidi and I have considered starting a plus sized division. Could be interesting. :)
Then there's always my fall back, Broadway. Pretty sure Hairspray and I could get along.

Okay, it's obvious that I miss Heidi. While Heidi is on the mind, it is a good idea to not make important life decisions. :)
7. We are all going to die.
Since Christmas, all but 2 of the people who work at my office have been to the hospital. Good start to the year, hey?
And folks, if you read this and watched those videos, you've lost a good 10 minutes of your life. Want to make yourself feel better? Buy some diapers and take them to the PRC. You'll feel better, and I'll have a nice smile. Bye.
