so it seems i have started a blog. fabulous. not exactly sure what i could possibly have to "blog" about.

i'm alone tonight. this is the first night i've spent alone in this apartment. we've been here for about four months. it's so strange how i seem to have immediately reverted back to my old habits from when i lived alone (in the pre-marriedness days). these habits included such healthy things as:

1. eating everything and anything i can find

(tonight consisted of eating pb out of the jar using a frozen chocolate bar as a spoon, btw pb and frozen chocolate bar spoon = heaven)

2. staying up so late doing absolute randomness, even though i must wake up for work in the morning

(this blog is a result of tonight's absolute randomness)

3. downloading music

4. trying on every article of clothing in my closet in an effort to find the desired one for the following day

( i picked out the one for tomorrow about 2 hrs ago..)

married life is probably good for me :)

so i have a confession. i have discovered that i am a mandy moore fan. in my defensive the mandy moore of today is not the mandy more of 1999. in fact, rachael yamagata wrote/sang on mandy moore's new album which i seem to be obsessed with. it's just good music friends. i saw them both in concert a few weeks ago downtown. fabulous. seriously-if you like rachael yamagata (or feist or lisa loeb or any of the like..) you will like this new mandy moore. i'm only talking about it so much b/c it was part of tonight's downloads. i felt guilty about downloading it but buying cds is just not in the budget these days..

she did a cover of "umbrella". so much better than rihanna. okay. i'm done.

so gregg and i are on a quest to make friends. it's hard work and it's so awkward. when did this happen? this past sunday we started a new class at our church and tonight our small group from that class had a meeting/dinner at the leader's apt (which happens to be in the building next to ours). gregg started working the night shift tonight - this is why i'm alone-and so i went alone. so it doesn't get much more awkward than showing up at a married couples bible study meeting with complete strangers and no husband. it really wasn't that bad though. i was expecting to feel beyond awkward but i didn't really. although i did manage to feel VERY married even despite the lack of my husband's presence. we all brought food and then sat around talking about how we cooked it and other meals. seriously. when did this happen to me??? i'm just 25. i have no children. i graduated from college like 3/4 years ago. i still watch mtv..doesn't that count for anything? when did i start having conversations about cooking pot roast???

of course i watch more HGTV and Food Network than i do mtv. oh dear...
