This is my third blog... and probably not my last.

Ok, so I am going to try this again. And I am serious this time. I am going to be someone who blogs. It will most likely cover topics that are not very important but I am OK with that. This is not going to be one of those "I am just writing to complain" blogs either. Don't get me wrong. There will be complaining but only because I love to complain about things that don't really matter that much because they normally become funny after I give them too much attention.

Basically, I will be writing about my love/hate relationship with humanity and all of the dumb, amazing, annoying, beautiful, pointless and inspiring things that happen to and affect my small part/being in this huge universe. I am hoping that by starting this blog I will better understand all of the choices I make, not matter how small. For example, every single time I go to CVS (which is a lot), they ask me if I have a CVS card and I always say "no", so the cashier always puts a CVS card in my bag but I always throw it away. I have no idea why. I just keep wasting the cards. And speaking of wasting things, I bought three of those environmentally-friendly grocery shopping bags from Publix about 4 months ago. I keep forgetting to put them in my car so I have yet to stop using plastic bags. Why do I do this? In the majority of the areas of my life, I am the furthest thing from lazy but when it comes to dumb things like this, I couldn't be anymore lethargic.

Tonight Diana, Nick and I went from grocery store to grocery store looking for cardboard boxes because we are moving this weekend. Who knew these things would be so hard to come across? The people in the stores all said the same thing, to come back around between 2 and 6 a.m... um, that sounds like the shittiest thing I could possibly do tonight, so let me know if you are holding on to or can loan me some boxes. I mean, I can't BUY them. That is one of the most depressing things to buy ever. That, and cleaning supplies. I feel like the government should just provide us with those or maybe Oprah.

Moving always reminds me how little I value the majority of my stuff. Because I will be moving bit by bit this entire week, I had to pull out some clothes to last me the week. Even though I change clothes about 3 times a day, I still ended up choosing only a handful of things to get me through any sort of occasion I might come across in the next seven days. I actually heard about this theory once that, out of all of our belongings, particularly clothing, we choose only 20% of our clothing about 80% of the time. I have totally found this to be true but I still always have a hard time giving away clothes because I always think there is going to be a perfect occasion for everything I have. The worst things are my old Halloween costumes... I mean, I have a huge silver plane that attaches at my waist from when I was a flight attendant three years ago. It takes up so much space but I just know I am going to need it again someday.

Ok, this post is ridiculous. I think it has to do with the fact that it is almost 2 am and I have already seen the episode of Golden Girls that is on Lifetime right now.

Good night and I will be writing again soon because this is a blog and that it what I am supposed to do. The end!
