Opening Comment

so, i gave harvey a benadryl b/c his allergies were acting up.  he is now totally comatose, so i thought it would be a nice time to start this little blog thing in an effort to piss terri off.  this will probably be a long one since it is the first one and therefore an introduction to my general state of being.  well, well, let's see, things in my life of note....  i now live in seminary with my perfect little love in his perfect little block house.  he is a loan officer by day/ drummer by night.  he has been drumming a lot less, but i think when the new drums he ordered get here he will get excited about playing again.  we have christmas lights everywhere, and he brings me little oyster shells with birds painted on them.  some fellow comes around to sell them at the bank he works at from time to time.  we hang them around the house.  everything is perfect.  i have just left my job as a nurse to let my gimpy back heal up for a while before i go back to school.  i will be starting nurse practitioner school in august, which i am super pumped up about (despite the impending presence of a particular classmate).  I dyed a little chunk of my hair purple a couple days ago, as these next few months will be my last chance to do such rebellious and irresponsible things, maybe forever.  a little line just popped up in the middle of my paragraph.  does that mean it's two blogs?  huh, maybe these things aren't supposed to be this long.  anyway, i don't do anything much for the moment.  i have taken up a highly unusual (for me) interest in domesticating.  i have found that i actually enjoy cooking.  i made a poundcake.  from scratch.  i have never in my life made nor desired to make anything from scratch.  i purchased a cookbook of healthy recipes, and i can honestly say that i have decreased the amount of trash in my diet significantly.  i am making a dent in harvey's habits as well.  we eat ridiculous amounts of fish and broccoli.  and thank goodness we've stopped perpetually going to wafflehouse at 4 in the morning to gorge ourselves on griddle-fried death.  those were good times, but it kind of makes me nauseated to think about it now.  i am very happy to have a new walking partner in my ipso facto bro in law, austin.  i am going to try to coax him into trying to run with me some once he loses a little weight and my back gets better.  i would like to try to run the 5k at the st. jude memphis marathon when harvey and john go back to run the half marathon again next year.   hahahahahaha (also a big F.U. to terri).  no, seriously, t, you guys should come with us in january.  it was a lot of fun.  also, speaking of terri, i just made out the invitations to her bachelorette weekend today, so i am very proud of myself.  my bff katie got engaged like a week ago, so i can hardly imagine the planning hurricane that's in store from here on out.  i'm really happy for everybody.  everything is going so well.
