The one upside is that I slept for 16 hours yesterday.

December16

I’ll make this quick and to the point:

I. AM. BORED. OUT. OF. MY. MIND.

To prove my point: at this very moment, I am watching The Golden Girls.  I can’t stand this show.  And yet, I have exhausted all other channel choices.  I would watch a movie but I actually don’t know how to operate the DVD player.

I kid not.

So, I’m not above begging you for help.  Here’s what I’m thinking: there are a lot of you that comment here who have blogs I’ve never read before.  You know what’s going on in my life, but I have no idea what’s happening in yours!  So why don’t you leave me a comment today with a link to a recent post of yours that maybe tells me a little about what’s going on in your life right now?  I’ll hop over there from my comfy couch position and take a little peek into your world.

It’s got to be a little better than the orange Gatorade and saltine cracker world I’m living in right now.

    I love reading your blog – it’s so witty – and I absolutely LOVE reading about all of your little adventures and such!

    My blog is somewhat more just for random fun – I post a pic of what I wear each day, and it helps to motivate me to look my best, and to see what works and what doesn’t work in terms of my own personal style! Enjoy!

    Ok, I will personally come over and fix/set up/explain your DVD player. Just let me know when. No one should have to watch the Golden Girls for lack of a DVD player. Do you not have one on your computer?

    I can’t direct you to my blog right now. It’s filled w/ youtube vids on the main page & youtube is having difficulties. I guess you could just skip over those.

    Um, right now we’re in full Christmas prep mode. If you go over to the old blog you’ll see pictures of 2 boys playing with new trains, the various Christmas programs, and as you scroll down you can read the most boring post known to man, my To Do list with comments on how I’m doing. Of course that was last week. I’d update it, but it’s so boring!

    And, if the blogs fail you, you could always call Leslie Ruth to come start your DVD for you! She’s a good friend like that!

    I can’t stand that show either (my friend loves it…not sure why), and I *think* reading my blog would be better than watching it (he he – could be wrong though…). I love finding new blogs, so hopefully you’ll be able to pass the time more quickly!

    Amy Beth, I am so sorry you are bored. I agree though, the more channels you have the less there is to watch. I have only recently started reading your blog and have only commented once before (I think) but if you are really that bored you can read my randomness. Shouldn’t take long. If you go back a month or two you can read 200 random things about me…I can’t link directly to it from work though. :-( Blog stalking does help one pass the time though so enjoy your day of it.

    I just started seeing a potential Mr. Maybe. I wish I could write a long post about it, but part of me is scared – so I’m commenting here instead. :) irony. Although, you are more than welcome to look at my sparse blog – i put up some funny photos yesterday. http://magnificentlyprivileged.blogspot.com/

    I have been pursued by a nice guy from band (yes, college marching band – he plays Baritone, I play the clarinet – but in our defense we get to go to the National Championship for free next month) who I met 4 years ago but never really spent time with. He is a Christian or as I like to say, into the “Jesus-thing”. He knows what he wants to do in life and is very good at it (software engineer). He feels called to spend His career making money to support missions. We exchange multiple emails daily – like a sick version of You’ve Got Mail. He thinks I’m interesting and our lunch date yesterday lasted 2 1/2 hours.

    I guess this is hard for me to wrap my mind around because I didn’t like him first. Does that make sense?
    He is nerdy and not the sexiest man of the year. But I can’t help shaking the feeling that if I ended things now I will regret it later.

    I am a 22 year old dating newbie. Do I feel unsure because I’m not that into him or is it my fear of the unknown? Am I going along because he is the first guy to actively and sweetly persue me in a manner God would approve? I need to continue to pray about this.

    I know we’ve never met but I greatly respect your advice and thoughts.

    Hope you feel better ASAP!

    Oh AB…the doctor told me two weeks ago there weren’t any recent flu victims in my area, but it sure did find it’s way to TN, didn’t it? I couldn’t agree with you more on The Golden Girls so I know it must be pretty rough on your couch to stoop to that!!

    So anyway, I wrote a way too long post yesterday that should kill about 10 minutes of your time if you want to slowly work your way through it, or if you want to take a look at my recent photo sessions you can do that too. Random story time…If the ice on the ground doesn’t get in my way I’m planning on having lunch with a friend from Nashville that’s in town. I’ll be sure to tell her to watch for that influenza!

    Seems like you’ll be spending your empty time now reading through all your comments before actually clicking on any blog addresses. You’ve got quite a following! Readers are lurking, stalking, and now coming out of the woodwork to tell you about themselves.

    I just started reading your blog back in October. I think of you often in regards to Roomie. My heart still aches over that relationship. I pray reconciliation will take place and you’ll be patient while waiting.

    My blog is mainly one of family happenings, pictures, and an occasional free alert or coupon codes. I’ve been blogging for four years, so enjoy!
