Things I Miss by Working All the Time
1. Comics like this one. I love food, I love eating out at new places, but mocking food trends is also an important piece to my love.
2. Kaine Endorsing Obama? I haven't even decided who to like yet!
3. DC FUD posted this forever ago and I never followed through. To do: actually get a group together and email them for help. By the way, did I mention I need a hobby, preferably one that meets new friends?
4. The Nats are hiring their Presidents? How have I missed this! I want to send it out to our teachers :). That is cooler than teaching in Qatar anyway.
5. The hobby I seemed to have found, wedding planning, is ironic since I'm not getting married. But I did join this group and found someone I know - bonus points if you can figure out which one :). I did also finally buy the book to go with the website.
6. Finally, blog-hopping took me here: Why you praise children for their hard work.... I haven't had a chance to read everything in depth, but if I have time to comment, I will.

Other Strange Things Found While Sleeplessly Obsessing
[Does anyone have a cure for the "waking up at 5am disease? My mother has it too, and I remember her washing the floor. I guess I'll just take advantage of my laptop.]
Abstinence Only - It Isn't Just For Kids Anymore!: I cannot figure out how this particular message is even worth funding, since I can't really figure out what vehicle could be used to distribute it. But issues like this that stigmatize people who choose not to marry for whatever reason really disturb me. There are any number of reasons that couples choose not to marry, and to actually promote this message when any number of unmarried couples could provide love and financial support to a family without the bounds of marriage is ridiculous. I sometimes feel like marrying young and having a family young WITHIN the bounds of marriage is even more irresponsible than the path that I and others have chosen.
I have to worry about something like this? Silk versus real flowers? Jeez, I am not looking forward to this.
This is self-explanatory. Something else to worry about - It has been something percolating in the back of my mind throughout my relationship, but I'm glad that other people feel the same way. The worries do not get easier with marriage, do they?
Maps from Kinko's (!) and other interesting ideas - if only I can get E to read the article without him asking what the Globe made up in this one.
