I'm Doomed

Seriously. As we discussed recently, sitting is lethal, and I sit for 8-10 hours at work each day. Also, I'm not a big fan of touch, and apparently my independence is going to kill me, too.

My Love

So, I'm still trying to find pictures that I can add to this blog. Even with some deep digging, there appear to be few pictures of me reading that exist. Huh.

Anyway, this doesn't exactly count, but I am surrounded by books, and I'm also with baby, which makes it extra fun. Oh how I miss him.


In other news, sometimes I go to midnight showings of movies based on books, and then I spend the next two days recovering from getting to bed at 3:30am before going into work at 8am.

I know what I like and I like what I know

The results of my other hobby recently.

Sometimes. . .

I do things besides read, as evidenced below demonstrating how I spent part of my weekend. Take that, doubters.

We carry more luggage than the porters at King's Cross

This hasn't been the best few weeks for the list project, I'll admit. Those of you who know me IRL (which, let's be honest, is all of you, since I've done nothing to promote awareness of this blog), know that the past fortnight has been manic at work. Plus, not going to lie, we've been on a Downton Abbey binge. A serious one. I am so completely a Mattharys shipper it's not even funny, but Sybil is my favorite.

Alice would hate my blog

Sometimes, generally when I am perusing the three Mormon lifestyle blogs that I follow, I think that my blog needs pictures. I mean really, this is very boring. I haven't even really customized the layout for this thing. The problem though, and this is a pretty serious problem, is that I'm not sure what these pictures would be of, exactly (the grammar of that sentence is making my teeth hurt, but whatever).

Pictures of me reading don't sound very exciting. Pictures of the book covers also sound pretty terrible to me (seriously terrible). Hmm. I'm not really sure what this leaves, exactly. This is why I should be a lifestyle blogger instead of a book blogger. The problem with that, though, of course, is that I don't exactly have a lifestyle.

Well, at any rate, to break the monotony, here is a random picture of me being random.

10 Things I Can't Do

So, I realize this has nothing to do with the list project - except it does reflect my love of lists - but that said I've been thinking about a variety of things that I imagine most adults/people can do that, quirkely enough, I cannot. I wanted to write these down, since they've been jangling around in my head.

1. Whistle
2. Tie my shoelaces the regular way
3. Blow a bubble with gum
4. Juggle
5. Drive a car
6. Make coffee
7. Dance
8. Braid my hair
9. Unlock most doors without struggle
10. Light a match (this may be more fear based than anything)

Now, clearly the bubble blowing impacts my daily life the most. The car one tends to surprise people the most, but that said, no one really wants me to drive. Trust me on that one. I would be an awful driver.
