More Mild Winter

“I don’t want something I need, I want something I want.” - Love Actually

I talked to Abram today...I found out that Eliza is having lunch today with Aidan from Sex and the City. I don't know who that guy is, but here is the story. He was coming to town to promote something (maybe music) and the radio had a contest for having lunch with him. So for fun, Eliza wrote in and said why she should be the one they pick. She talked about not having a lot of luck with guys recently and I guess stuff like that. Well, she won. She got to take another person with her, so she took Ana. I'll probably get more details on how the whole thing went, but I thought that was kind of cool that my sisters are having lunch with a former HBO actor.

I spent Wednesday night cleaning. I cleaned out my entire porch and set up the room with a TV and all my equipment. Hopefully that will make the room more useful. I then cleaned up the living room a bit and washed all the dishes. We tend to let the dishes pile up until you are eating soup with forks and using plates as bowls. I don't like using the dishwasher. My feeling is that you put in stuff with food on it that is caked on and never comes off. But the other option is that I hand wash all the dishes which is damn hard when you let them all pile up. Well I found a middle ground, I half ass wash everything and then put it in the dishwasher (which I think is the correct process anyway). So now all my dishes are washed.

The Groundhog said that we are going to have 6 more weeks of winter. Luckily, it will be a mild winter so I don't mind. I wonder why we continue this celebration. I hope I get today right because it feels like the type of day I could live over and over and choose different choices that will impact my future. Today's version, well it wasn't too interesting.

There are negative thoughts that I need to get out of my life. Here is the first one, "5 more minutes." The next one is "it is just one class, I can miss one class." Oh yeah and "I'm only 30 minutes late to work." They can destory your life. Right now I fight them with sure willpower, but that gives out over time. I need to find new ways to think about these things. Nothing can change that I'm always going to want more sleep. Even if I got to bed early or very late, more always feels better than less.

people have nothing to say for a reason
