Summer…
June 19, 2009
I really need something to do with my time. Since discovering that jobs give me panic attacks, all I’ve been doing is reading library books. Seriously.
Since I started keeping a “record” of library books I’ve checked out, since April 16 of this year I’ve checked out 97 items.
97 items. Isn’t that kind of ridiculous? I think so.
My sewing machine has pretty much given up the ghost. That sucker used to make me…hundreds? on eBay. But nobody buys one-of-a-kind cutsey skirts anymore because, well, everyone sells them now. It’s sad that fabric costs more these days than to just go out and buy a ready-made piece of whatever.
Ok, ranty. I’m having these days. I’m having a hard time shaking them. I’m having a hard time trying to cut-out the “bored eating” I’ve been doing for a while now. It’s hard to not “bored eat” when I’m, well, bored.
And if I see one more of those stupid “when you’re bored, do ____ instead of eating!” lists, I’m going to commit homicide.

I am SO on the book thing. Really. I’m totally craving popcorn. For some reason, I haven’t even *tried* to eat it since surgery, um, 2 years ago. Wtf. It scares me!

I really like your list…especially the last one. I can think of several people/snobs/candymakers that I’d like to take out. haha. And the hooters thing is a really good idea…I’d have to stuff my bra, though. =P
& I am SO updating. I promise. When I’m bored, I tend to get lazy. Heh.
