I was so happy to be home that I reorganized our cabinets. And cleaned the trash can. You know, like, the outside and the inside of it. Icky.
If you ever want fun ideas on how to spend a Friday night, I would think twice before asking me for ideas. I was sleep-deprived and my judgement was cloudy. Depending on my state I may suggest anything from drinking beers out of boots (fun) to pulling the nest of hair out of your shower drain (not fun).
This week was a whirlwind of work and travel and having to explain that turkey still counts as meat, even though it's not red.
I've got a resolution post coming your way tomorrow, recapping the goals I set last year and filling you in with what I've got in store for 2012.
But today I wanted to share the list of cast-off blog topics that never made the cut on their own. The best part about self-publishing is that no one can tell you that 5 bad ideas don't make a good one. In my world it does, and that's a beautiful thing.
1) I'm now the girl that cleans her trash can and organizes her cabinets on Friday nights.
We'll go ahead and check that one off the list...
2) A left-handed problem
Being left-handed is only a handicap when you are in the fourth grade and you have to get a note signed saying that you can't write with the required erasable pens because as soon as you write anything it rubs off on your hand. I was perpetually the confused fourth grader who handed in smudgy spelling tests and walked around with a black and blue ink stain on the side of my left hand.
To all of the left-handed fourth graders who don't know why their language arts essay has disappeared when they go to turn it in, I'm sorry to say that you are most likely not the next Harry Potter who has made invisible ink. Get your mom to write a note so you can take your next test with a real pen.
3) Argyle Wisdom Necks
Have you ever sat behind an old man and noticed that the creases on the back of his neck make an almost perfect argyle pattern? I do not have photographic documentation of this, but whenever I see this, I think that man is probably really wise.
Or spent way too much time out in the sun with no sunscreen.
Argyle is a sophisticated pattern.
4) Fat Chef
January 26 My two favorite shows mash-up to create Food Network's Fat Chef. You have no idea how excited I am to see the perfect combination of The Biggest Loser and Top Chef .
Speaking of, the premiere of Season 13 of The Biggest Loser was this week. They showed an emotional victory for a former athlete and then immediately went to commercial to show the trailer for Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.
Now you know the perfect formula for getting me to cry alone on my couch at ten o'clock in the morning.
5) The evidence from my New Year's Eve
Oh, that and my outrageous cab fare. If anyone has any more evidence I would love to see it.
