tonight i was bored and curious about something so i had to log onto
myspace. the reason for the myspace log on was to look for something i
knew i had blogged about. myspace has changed A LOT. i don't even
know what's going on with that site! it looks so different! does
anyone ever use it or look at it? I haven't in probably years. but it
looks like their blogging is still better than facebooks.
well
anyway...i was looking through my blogs for something...and i used to
blog A LOT. and some of the stuff i wrote i don't even remember! and
as i was skimming through some of them i was like "man i'm glad i
blogged about this now i can remember it!" there were crazy dreams and
just random things i did. i wonder if that will be there forever on
myspace. i hope so. it was like a stupid diary. a REALLY stupid
diary, because i only wrote about mostly stupid stuff.
i
should blog more though i guess. then when my kids are growing up and
are like "mom what did you do when you were younger?" i can show them
because i know i probably won't remember. here kids just read this
myspace blog.
i did find what i was looking for
though...it was about puzzles. most of you know mary and i went through
a time in our lives where we were addicted to eating lots of junk food,
getting drunk, and doing jigsaw puzzles...and i wanted to know how it
all started so now i know.
so in tribute to our reunion in the next couple of weeks here is an excerpt from the blog of how all the puzzles started.
this was written sometime in the summer of 2007.
"so
i've had something on my mind...something that i've wanted to get off
my chest for awhile. i dont have anyone in particular i would like to
tell this to so i thought i'd just write a blog so that anyone that
wanted to could find out. i have a secret. it may not be a well kept
secret considering that most of my close friends already know
(especially mary) it's more of an addiction rather than a secret. well
it's both, a secret addiction. this addictions started on November 26,
2006. how do i know this? because i received a traffic citation on
this same day. i remember me and mary were both very bored. i mean
BORED. it was a sunday and we couldn't think of anything to do. so all
of the sudden out of nowhere we decide to do a puzzle. a freaken
jigsaw puzzle...which we had to buy at meijer....which on my way home
resulted in a speeding ticket. this was supposed to be a one time thing
but as winter became colder, snowier, and icier...and we had crazy
drunken nights...and a lot of free time....we found ourselves wanting to
do more puzzles. so we just started buying puzzles and buying
them....(pretty much cleaning out meijer, wal-mart, target and
surprisenly k-mart) and when we finished one we would glue it together
with puzzle glue...some people may not know but there is such a thing as
puzzle glue...and now this addiction has resulted in about 10 glued
puzzles stashed under my bed....
puzzles are like a sport
except you're doing probably the complete opposite of most sports by
sitting on your ass for hours at a time...eating tons of junk food and
sometimes even participating while wasted. "
