I had something really cool to blog about

but I forgot it. That is lame and depressing and I'm hoping that by writing something here I would remember it. That does not appear to be happening.

Here are just some random things for you to think about:

-I was mistaken for a jr. high student by a real-life jr. high student--one who knows me no less.

-I can lose my keys on my person.

-Doing the dishes is the chore I am procrastinating at the moment.

-It is dark when I leave for work.

-One of my passions is writing.

-I am incredibly grateful for my status as an American woman. Currently reading The Nightingale by Morgana Gallaway--a fictional account of the life of an Iraqi woman. Even if I find out that she used hyperbole to drive the plot of her novel and everything is overexaggerated by a factor of 10 I am still overwhelmed by the rights and privileges I have to be a single American woman in my 20s living a safe life. But it's a really good book. Stressful, but very insightful.

Well, I'm sure that I have not remembered the very profound item I intended to blog about. Hope you enjoyed the mundane!
