So this is my first blog that I have ever written, and I must say that I am a little wary about it. I have never been a fan of putting information about myself out there on the open internet, but I am willing to give it a try. Well, really I have to. But since I have never done it before, I have decided to keep an open mind about blogging and see what happens. Maybe I will get helpful comments about questions, or maybe I can help someone else. Perhaps I will fall in love with blogging and let it consume many hours of my day. (Hopefully not too many.) Either way, it should be interesting.
There really is not much that I would like to say at this point that is really relevant or interesting. I am still a little shocked that I have a blog and that people can actually read what I put up. I guess I am a little nervous and intimidated. But I will say a funny thing that happened to me today. I just received a book from my mother when I got back from class today. I could tell by the package and the fact that it came from Amazon. I was so excited to see what novel it could be that I grabbed it from the front steps, bolted into the house while dropping all my belongings on the floor so that my roommate's terror-of-a-dog could chew on my homework, just so I could unwrap my treasure. And do you know what she sent me? Love in 90 Days. Can you believe that?!?! I am not even 23 years old and my mother is consumed with fear that I will never marry, let alone find someone worth my time. Talk about pressure. I realize that she tells me that college is the only place where I will be surrounded by men, and I always got a laugh when she told me to "hang out with the doctors and lawyers," (as if they all hung out together drinking coffee) but I never thought she would go so low as to get me a self help book. Now that I look pathetic because everyone must think I need serious help in the dating department, I am going to end this blog. I just hope I can post this and get it over with before I become really embarrassed for writing it. But seriously, a self help book? Really?!?!

Lindsey,
ReplyDeleteCan I borrow the book your mom sent you? LOL. Maybe your mom read it herself and liked the book so much she wanted you to read it? Or, maybe she was just trying to be funny? I don't know your mom at all, but I can't imagine she had bad intentions when she sent it! :)
Haha I am sure she did not have bad intentions. She got on me AGAIN today. My father (the prankster) got in on it and told jokes about me becoming an old maid, along with teacher-spinster jokes. I don't know what has gotten into them, but I think they are all crazy! And you can borrow the book! haha. But be careful, you might find the one in 90 days... or less! I still have yet to read it, but I am going to get around to it and let you know how it is. I am determined to finish it over spring break. I will let you know if it works! haha
