Reasons why I'm a barrel of fun today and some blog envy

The last few mornings have been especially difficult for me to get out of bed. I have a runny nose, watery eyes, and a headache. I have used a ton of toilet paper in attempts to control this. I feel bad going to the secretary's desk every two seconds to take real tissues, so unless she's not at her desk and I can take some unashamedly, toilet paper it is. (kind of ironic to think of using toilet paper for tissues as less embarrassing than taking tissues from the secretary, but whatever.)

Thankfully I planned dinner ahead (for the second time ever) and already made the pasta salad that will go along with our hamburgers tonight. And, maybe it's my upbringing, but Kevin will be making the hamburgers. My dad always did it while my mom got the fixings ready, and that has been a legacy we continue (so far). Then I'll curl up under a blanket and hopefully finish reading Three Cups of Tea while Kevin works on his homework (the semester is over on the 22nd, so he has a lot to do). Wow, the prospects of our Friday night are lookin' so great!

Speaking of which, Three Cups of Tea is an amazing book. It has taken me longer than the three-week allotment of time the library grants, so I am now choosing to pay 10 cents per day to finish it. No renewals on books that someone else requested. So if you're the one that has requested this book from the Provo Library, I apologize for my selfishness in keeping it so I can finish it. Trust me, it's worth the wait. One of the many quotable parts of this book includes this:

Let nothing perturb you, nothing frighten you. All things pass. God does not change. Patience achieves everything.
-Mother Theresa-

Not to abruptly change the topic or anything, but I have a confession to make. If you are into reading blogs, even of people that you don't know, you should read these ones. Oh boy do I have blog envy. I don't even know how I stumbled upon these gems, but I have to share with those of you that might want to know. I can't believe I'm outing myself on being such a blog addict, but at least if I get embarrassed later, I can blame it on the congestion that is my head right now.

Without further ado, and in no particular order, these blogs are awesome:
