Celebrate!

It's 3:15 and both kids are sleeping in their beds. Now what do I do with myself?

Maybe I should work on my thesis...Or maybe I should make some hot cocoa and read a book...

I vote the second. But then, I've watched two episodes of The Office this evening as well as the new House, and now I have the Daily Show on, so clearly I haven't heard about work ethics.

I concur. A bit of hot chocolate, maybe some toast or cookies with it, and a good book. Now's your chance to take a break.

I hope you read a book and drank cocoa. Personally, I'm looking forward to staying at my parents' tonight without Dec so that I can drink cocoa and read a book. (Though it has been nice to get completely caught up on Housewives and Heroes this week.)

The Truth Comes Out

I have a problem when it comes to buying shoes. Well, it's actually a problem with buying clothing in general. I'm cheap. Very cheap. I tend to have arbitrary price limits in my head and refuse to buy anything that costs more than that. This does come in handy considering our limited funds for things like clothing and shoes, but it also means that I tend to have a wardrobe of odd, non-matching, ill-fitting clothes. While it's true that I have found some great things at thrift stores and on clearance, I definitely have other clothes that are just plain lame. I will often choose to buy things because they are cheap, even sacrificing what I really want because it doesn't fit my predetermined price conventions. I am convincing myself to buy this jacket because it is comfortable, stylish, fits a wardrobe need (I don't have a blazer or jacket), and matches a skirt I already have.

Living with ideals

The first thing on my agenda in Davis was a lunch with some of the current graduate students. One of them asked me a question about my last name and my heritage, to which I replied that it was my husband's last name. That got me some fairly strange looks. Then there was the fact that I didn't order coffee after lunch with all of them. And then there was the awkwardness (more than once during the last few days) of trying to explain why I lived in Spain for over a year and didn't see any movies, go to any plays, or study at the university. Oh, and the fact that I don't drink wine and even though I'm not quite thirty I have been married for almost seven years and have two kids. Man, I am such a weirdo. I lived in Utah for so long that I became very comfortable in not having people think some of the things I do are strange. It was challenging this week to be back in an area where people questioned my choices and I had to explain "I'm a Mormon" (yeah, I kno
