Random Wednesday


This is a true Random Wednesday.  Because it's Friday.  It's been a long week...   Give me a break.

1. If I had a nickel for every time I left a paper in the printer before I left for a meeting (at which I needed that paper left in the printer), I'd have quite a few nickels.  

2. I hate ESPN.  Except when they have good stories.  Then I like to watch.  Don't tell Mr. Nation.

3. I have no motivation to work out.  Like none.  If there was a contest in making up excuses as to why you can't/won't go work out, I'd win.  We have an elliptical machine upstairs for goodness sakes.  I continue to donate money to our local gym, but pretty soon something's got to give...  I hope.  

4. I hope that tights and leggings and "maternity shirts for non-maternity girls" never go out of style.  They are glorious, especially in reference to #3.  What was I thinking when I wore "lingerie tops" in college?  I wasn't thinking because I was too busy working out apparently.  

5. My favorite feature on my Mac is the spell check on EVERYTHING.  It's amazing for people like me who can't spell, but also have a pet peeve of incorrect grammar on the internet.

6. Speaking of pet peeves...  People who have a big destination wedding with lots of family members and friends but then also have a big reception back "home."  I can see if your destination wedding was just immediate family or just you and your spouse, but I feel lately I've seen large destination weddings plus a large reception.  What was the point?  You saved no money and basically had two weddings.  If you have that much money to burn, maybe we should be better friends and I should stop dogging on your two weddings.

7. I love weddings.  I still secretly look at wedding blogs every now and then.  I'm trying to stop because it only makes me want to go back and change everything.  There's too many good ideas out there.  I think I would be a really good wedding planner.  I wouldn't like the drama or the hours, though.  

8.  School is starting back next week.  I'm working on my doctorate.  I don't think I mentioned that before now on the blog.  I'm not looking forward to it starting again...  I wanted to quit every week last semester, my goal is to cut that down to every other week this semester.  We'll see...

9. I don't like change.  I would go as far to say I hate change.  But I guess it's not necessary to change.  Survival's not mandatory, right??

That's all for now.  Again, it bugs me that there's only 9 thoughts, but like I said, it's been a long week.  Have a lovely, relaxing weekend, gentle readers!

  1. Hey Mrs. Nation! I agree I still want to pick up wedding mags & check out wedding blogs but every time I do want to go back and change everything or I'm like dang it why didn't I think of that!

    I also agree with #9. I seriously dislike change. Even when I know it's for the best. It still ruffles my feathers!

    Love your Random Wednesday list!

  2. First of all, maternity shirts for non maternity women are awesome.

    And secondly, I'm so glad to hear you say you want to quit grad school every week. I mean, not glad for you, obviously- I really hope you can work through it! But I recently made the tough decision not to go (after hundreds of dollars and hours spent on the application process, ugh). This makes me feel a little better about my decision.

    Best of luck to you!
