Strange but true...ravings of the less-than-sane
I am having really strong salt cravings lately. I just sucked down an entire (mini) bag of popcorn, and I've been eating pretzels at home like there's no tomorrow. Perhaps my brain is being used so much that the sodium-potassium pumps are running low on sodium.
Or perhaps I am just broken, one of the two.
My room at school is a MESS. My organizational methods have fallen through and I'm too tired to go around and pick up all the junk that is cluttering my counters. I need some people to serve detention so that I can get my room clean again. :-)
ITBS is almost over for the year, thank the Powers That Be. The PTBs have been kind to me lately--my life is finally settling into somewhat of a routine. D will be out of town again next week for a conference. So soon, you say? Well, yes. Luckily he is here for both weekends and so I won't have to find folks to keep me company then.
We are throwing a big party on the 29th...I picked up a Halloween costume when I was home for Labor Day and just decided that it would be an awesome idea to put it to use. Plus we have been meaning to throw a housewarming party for AGES. This is the first party we've ever thrown--in the years we were in that tiny apartment, the most people we had over was 4 (6 counting the kids). Honestly, I didn't want to invite people over because the place was so tiny and college-dorm-esque.
We went shopping this weekend for picture frames--we had art (souvenirs) from the honeymoon that we wanted framed as well as a few other things. We ended up having 2 pieces custom framed because they aren't anywhere close to standard sizes. The total came to over $400 (yipes!!) but well worth it as the pieces are going to be GORGEOUS additions to our home. Plus, it's a one-time expense...we can now put these on our walls forever. And we didn't buy expensive souvenirs abroad, so this counts as that too. (Rationalize enough and ANY expense becomes worthwhile...I'm getting scarily good at this.)
I should be grading papers or cleaning up my messy classroom...instead I'm killing time until my 20-minute chair massage. Aaahhhh. The sweet feeling of procrastination. What was that saying? Hard work and effort may pay off in the end, but laziness always pays off NOW.

I was worried too, but suffice it to say that I know it's not a possibility right now. :-)
That could explain the salt cravings too!
