Currently Thinking…

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound? If Jenn coughs in her office, but muffles them with crumpling papers, is she sick?

I’m feeling a tad (or three tads) under the weather today. Fingers are crossed that it’s only a passing feeling. Hopefully it’s from being tired and not from walking around in the last three or four storms in flip flops and a T-shirt. (Mom, don’t start the “I told you so” song and dance. Let me suffer quietly )

Last night many of the Chicago bloggers got together to meet Lacey, an NY blogger and one of my favorites. It was pretty fun. We had a great turn out and I’m happy so many of you could make it. It was especially nice to see Erin who I haven’t seen since the very first meet-up back in February! Those of you who couldn’t make it, you were missed. We welcome two new Chicago bloggers as well! The Maiden Metallurgist and Andy put up with our craziness for an evening and I’m so glad they came. Looking forward to seeing you both at future meet-ups! (The rest of the Chicago blogger’s links can be found on my blogroll under Bloggers I Know.)

Back to our regularly scheduled “Currently Thinking” post:

- Why do people refer to underwear as a pair? You’re only putting on one. How is it a pair?

- Does anyone else experience a loss of clothes as a new season rolls in? It seems that every year summer eats my fall/winter clothes and I have to go buy more. Where do the sweaters go? What happened to the long-sleeved shirts? Did I make believe that I owned these? Was it all a dream? Come summer I can’t seem to find any of the cute tank tops I swore I had the year before. Perhaps the dryer gnomes have found their way into my dresser.

- I wrote probably one of the worst papers of my life over the weekend and turned it in yesterday. It was bad. The worst part? It was optional. Meaning I didn’t have to do it! That would have been AWESOME to know on Friday. So now I turned in a shitty paper that will replace a future paper that potentially could have been 10 times better. Eff.

- I think I’ll end my skeleton naming contest tomorrow. I have a pretty good idea of who won, but I’m easily swayed. (I’ll choose you if you take my chemistry test for me!)

- Is it necessary for ears to hurt when your throat does? I realize they’re all connected, but is it really necessary? No. It’s not.

- It’s official. I’ve unleashed a bit of the crazy. I printed out a photo of the man friend and me from a work party and put it on my bulletin board. Shh…don’t tell him. We’re eff’in adorable though. Eat your heart out Ryan & Rachel.

- Searching for someone with the last name O’Brien at Notre Dame is futile.

- Can someone please tell me that it’s 5 p.m. and I can go home and get in bed? What? I can’t get in bed because I have crazy amounts of homework to do? Well I’ll be damned.
