Well, today is January 12th... and I'm officially writing in 2010. What's this blog going to be about? I have no idea. That's what's so exciting about this whole blogging business. You don't have to have a massive event occur before you can write. :) Happy. To be honest, I'm using my blog as my outlet for me tonight. I'm sitting here on CQ (Charge of Quarters... if you don't know what that means, don't worry about it... it's pretty lame anyway) watching people walk in and out of the barracks. What does this job entail? Two things: One, don't let the giant building made out of strictly bricks, burn down. And Two, don't let any pedophile come into the building. It's pretty serious stuff. I do have this awesome nasty 80 year-old-widow-smoker's-cough right now, so most people run away when I start coughing... It works out well. Anyway, I have been checking things off of my lists all night. I'm doing well so far. Yesterday I wrote a list of lists. My list of lists contained 8 lists. I wrote six of those categories on my whiteboard and wrote the list of things to be done under each one. One thing I have learned lately - I cannot function without lists. I am a list guru. I live and die by lists. In fact, I think I shall write a list of things that need to be done in the event that I die. Funerals are so much easier if they're already planned out. Okay, I'm way off-topic now. Wait, I have no topic. Beautiful. Oh, right, back to the "outlet"... what I meant was, I am involved in way too much right now. I guess that's good because it keeps me out of trouble. I was thinking in October how I needed to get more involved in things... and now I'm overly involved and committed to way too much. Tonight I have successfully written my budget, finished the cleaning roster for the next six weeks, balanced my checkbooks, finished a spread sheet, and caught up on facebook gossip.
I mean, let's be real, that's pretty much what a Facebook Newsfeed is... everyone putting their business out there for the world to read. Speaking of Status Updates, it always cracks me up when people write just enough to keep you wondering exactly what they're talking about. I know you all know who I'm talking about... those Facebookers who are just desperate for someone to ask them what they're referring to so they have a reason to write another three paragraphs about their lust lives... ahem, I mean, love lives. Oh, and then there's the "over the hill" population... they have the tendency to think you actually WANT to know what happened in EVERY moment of their day. Their SU are so long you have to click the "read more..." hyperlink to see the small novel they have written about going to the grocery store. Yes, you're laughing now because you can just picture exactly what I mean. There's always a handful of people who only put a verse are their SU. Don't get me wrong, I ain't tryinta hate on no Jesus talk, but it's a STATUS UPDATE... Meh, whatev. All of this to say, I caught up on the small novels of the grocery store, the lust... ahem, love lives, and the daily verses tonight. I feel very informed, thank you Facebook.



Well, I'd love to stay and play a bit longer, but the need to cross something off one of my lists is just overwhelming me. Unfortunately "Write a blog entry" was not on any of my lists, so this doesn't count for anything. However, maybe I could write it in just so I can cross it off and feel that sense of accomplishment... ;)
