Jon says he loves my rants. Let's see about fixing that.

I'm sitting in front of the glowing screen thinking--The chocolate levels on Candy Crush Soda Saga make me nervous.
This made me acutely aware of the fact that for someone who is 'always so busy' I really should get a life. I mean, I do have a life. And kids. And stuff. Even if much of that involves very little exertion other than the occasional forced cuddling of a cat that sort of tolerates my existence.
All four of the kids are now in school. Even though I'm on some heavy duty immunosuppressive meds that make being in public a bad idea, I still feel like my life is missing something.
I could go to the gym. In yoga pants and then go drink coffee like other moms.
I could take up day drinking later in the day, but that's not my brand of self destruction. I prefer mine deep fried or chocolate covered. That could work. I could define myself as a slightly disgruntled housewife minus the bonbons and soap operas. I'm pretty sure that's what most people envision my days involve.
What the hell is a bonbon anyway? Is it like a truffle? I like truffles. I could power walk the mall with the elderly and then stop at the Godiva store for my free club treat. But those two things seem to work against each other. Plus, I'm sure it's hard to break into that type of fast moving social circle.
I really don't think I want to go back to school. Too many choices. Everyone would be half my age. I'd have to admit that I still put 2 spaces after a period like I learned in typing class. Like on a typewriter. Before the internet. Ugh. So maybe I am too old for all that. I'm not old old. I have some grays. I really don't think stressing myself out would contribute to a more youthful appearance. It would just mean crows feet and that 'I hate life' aura. No, it's probably best I lie expressionless with as little motion as possible to preserve my skin from the forces of evil (i.e. gravity).
I'll just break up the chocolate eating with an effort to blog more than once every 18 months. Then I can say: I blog. About what? Parenting, cooking, and how to make more 'me' time. It's gonna be a kick ass lifestyle blog. You know, where I discuss savings (how to get free chocolate) and (potential) exercise.  And aging gracefully.
