This Is Going to Be a Long One

She's Leaving on a Jet Plane
My sister leaves for England today. She won't be back for six whole months. I am going to miss her, but she totally rocks for taking this risk.

Everybody Must Get Blogged
Hey, Zach Braff has a blog. I haven't seen Garden State yet, but I do want to. And I have liked him from Scrubs. But I like him even more now that I see some of his favorite movies are Empire of the Sun, You Can Count on Me, and Lovely and Amazing.

Yesterday morning
was a bit hectic. I snoozed three times and then had to rush out the door and over to the bus stop. And I was just a few steps away from the corner when I realized I'd forgotten my ticket book. (And there was no way I was going to spend cash when I'd already paid for the tickets.) So I raced back home to get the book, and then raced to beat the bus to one of its later stops. Luckily, I made it just in time. I get to work and the elevators aren’t working, so I walked up to the fifth floor... to discover all four chairs sitting on top of the desks – the carpets had been cleaned over the weekend. So I had to lift them down. All this manual labor before 8 am!

Over the Weekend
On Saturday we went out to lunch and a bit of a walk around town. That evening consisted of several rousing games of Sorry, Clue, and Scrabble, before going back downtown for some pints. On Sunday, we were up and out the door by 10:30. We had breakfast breakfast at the diner across from the bowling alley, then it was a spontaneous trip to the corn maze, where I triumphantly finished in record (I think) time. And after a couple hours of watching baseball, that evening my mother, sister, and I went to a bridal shower that was only slightly awkward.

Misc
Last night I watched “Desperate Housewives.” I hate that title, but I thought the show was actually pretty good – black comedy style. Not sure how long they can keep the series running but it should be entertaining for the time being.

I have to expressed my amazement at the bountiful use of the word “culled” in such a small period of time. But guess what? Here are a couple of interesting tidbits that I culled from various sources over the weekend:
*Isle of Mull, Inner Hebrides, Scotland is the next big vacation hot spot
*Some women think it is fun to embarrass their friends with revealing lingerie

And a Question
Why am I so dumb? Why can’t I take care of my body? Why do I keep eating the processed junk food even when I feel sick?
