Because I’m Sure I Can’t Be the Only One

There are some things I find weird about myself (sometimes, in conjunction with others in my life) but I know there must be others out there who do the same…right?

  1. I occasionally weigh myself before and after pooping just to see if there’s a difference. (It’s never as much as I expect or hope.)
  2. Every few months, J will lie on top of me and “play dead.” I then try my darndest to try to get out from under him, just to see if I would be able to escape if he were ever to die or pass out on top of me.
  3. During a bawling session, I have run to a mirror to see if I can cry pretty like actors do in movies or television. (I can’t.)
  4. This is exactly how I sleep in the warmer months:

    …while the opposite is true in the cold (i.e., one leg out of the blanket).

  5. When I get really stressed out, I like to go through the clothes in my closet and look for wrinkled clothes to iron. I tell my friends that ironing relaxes me because it’s like I can smooth out the wrinkles in the fabric, while I can’t always smooth out the wrinkles in my life. But that’s not always the truth — because I’m not that deep a person. I just really like to iron.

Star Wars Business Cards

The past few days have been rough. Little Aerin fell ill for the very first time in her life — thank goodness she had gotten her flu shot last month! — and I ended up catching her cold too. We sent Claire away to her grandparents’ in hopes that she won’t get sick, and the household has been a disarray of used Kleenex, dirty laundry, and VapoRub.

But I remain in high spirits, because my beloved Knickerbockers are 5-0 for the first time in almost 2 decades. 🙂

Needless to say, inspiration has been running dry (inversely proportional to the level of snot and phlegm in my respiratory system), but I quickly wanted to pop in to share these Star Wars business cards from Etsy seller frommntoyou, who explains that her sister gave these to her when she was a kid.
