So I occasionally like to disappear for weeks on end.  I've decided that this isn't a bad thing and that it's a necessary part of life, although whose or whats life remains to be seen. 

Ok, short sweet and to the point.

Much love!

Bye

So, it has been a while since I last posted anything.  Quite a while.  In fact, some of you are probably wondering if whether I have disappeared into a black hole.  This is in fact true.  I have disappeared into the netherworld of Hebrew and Theology, both of which I have decided I don't really like.  I have a decidedly love hate relationship with theology and my relationship with Hebrew is becoming more and more of a hate relationship...mostly because it's just not clicking with me.  I can do the translation fine with my good old lexicon next to me, but the language isn't natural to me like it was with the germanic.  Not sure what to do with that. 

In other news I need a winter coat (for these lovely NE snows), jeans that fit (I am constantly worried that they're going to fall down to my ankles) and new shoes (I've worn a patch through my current sneakers and the stuffing is coming out).  The up side of all this is that I am totally not a good pick for a mugger. For the most part even the homeless people on the street have stopped asking me for spare change.  I haven't decided whether that's a good thing or a bad thing. 

Yes, I'm being slightly dramatic as per usual, but I still I shall go shopping over Thanksgiving to get some new 'duds'.

I think my brother has gifted me with his innate fear of kidney stones.  As my coffee level has increased - due to a brilliant schedule involving early morning half the week and late nights (which end in early mornings) the other half of the time - so has my paranoid fear of developing kidney stones.  Seriously, Christmas  break will really feel like a break this year, and I can't imagine what summer will feel like.  But I digress.  Anywho, to solve this imminent development of kidney stones, which I have heard is roughly on par with-although slightly worse than- giving birth - I have begun drinking even more copious amounts of water than had heretofor been imbued.  In essence, I am spending an increasing amount of time considering painting some kind of mural on the bathroom wall at my house, just to make it a little more interesting.  I wonder if my landlord would approve of such an enterprise. 

I also discovered this week that Godiva makes dark chocolate pearly with mint...oh realms of unforseen delight!  Seriously, I don't think I shall allow myself to get them very much because it would frankly be hazardous to my waistline. 

I went to the mall for the first time in months last week.  It was heavenly.  Didn't buy anything but I walked around and looked and missed Laura dreadfully because I went by New York and Co and they were having a sale and I knew that if she was around we would go in and try things on and decide to buy the cutest of the options for clothing and possibly some jewelry too because you can always use cute new jewelry.  I also missed her b/c tradition dictates a visit to Godiva if the mall has it and I know she would absolutely LOVE the chocolate pearls I purchased.
