7 Quick Takes

— 1 —

I keep composing posts in my mind when I'm trying to go to sleep at night. I still have to review the third book I got from Catholic Company (which I should do soon since the details are starting to get a little fuzzy), and I want to write a guest post for Mandi on marrying young. I hate that work drains my creativity. Thankfully though, I still enjoy reading everyone's blogs.

Brian and I finally decided what we are doing for our one year wedding anniversary. We are heading out to Yosemite to stay at Tenaya Lodge for 4 days and 3 nights. I am so excited! Yosemite is one of the most beautiful places in the United States and I have really fond memories of camping there as a child. It is a 6 hour drive from Santa Barbara, but I'm actually looking forward to it. I love having long talks in the car with my husband!

We have some fun things planned for this weekend! Tomorrow we are going to the Angels baseball game with Brian's sister and nieces. Brian got tickets for his birthday that come with a food package, and we are finally getting around to using them. Although I'm not an Angels fan (I bleed blue - Go Dodgers!) I'm excited to go to a baseball game and I'm sure Brian will enjoy it. Hope they win! Sunday we have some shopping to do, and Monday we are having lunch with friends before heading back to SB. Busy busy as usual.

I've been thinking about what kind of posts I want to showcase on my blog. Usually I just have time for the run-of-the-mill stuff and don't really get in depth. Although I don't see myself clearing any time for deep thought soon, I happen to have a number of papers, poems, and short stories in the backlog from my years as a Creative Writing major. I guess I've just been hesitant to post that kind of media - I also have a number of analytical papers on various topics. Would anyone be interested in reading that sort of thing?

Fridays are donut days at work. The plain sugar sprinkled donut is my favorite and really makes for a great morning. By the way, I really prefer the spelling of "donut" rather than "doughnut." I'm not sure why that bothers me so much.

Do you know why 7 quick takes are so hard for me? Because I have the worst memory in the world. It's Friday night and I literally cannot remember what I had for dinner on Wednesday, let alone what I did on Monday. Yikes - maybe I need some fish oil?

I wrote this post Friday night and when I went to post it blogger wasn't working for me. So I saved the post and turned off my computer to eat dinner. When I came back and restarted my computer, the WiFi would not turn on. The button on my touchscreen control was stuck in the off position. I just about lost it. It does this about every 6 months and you have to keep turning the computer on and off before it resets itself. Sometimes as many as 6 times. So when I finally got the WiFi button unstuck and went to post this, blogger had somehow corrupted most of the post and it was just a bunch of mumbo jumbo. Every time I tried to erase the broken script Firefox would freeze. Needless to say, it's now Sunday and I'm finally hoping this works.
