8/7 in --

I can’t get this effing K-pop song out of my head (I think it’s called “gee” by Girls Generation). I listened to it a lot like six years ago. Where has the time gone! I’m not halfway to 26, am I?! How in the world have I been allowed to be an adult.

Anyway. I really miss discovering new music. I’d sit at the computer, on music websites, looking at “similar to” lists all the time of various bands, and choose random 30-second clips to listen to. I discovered lots of things that way. I didn’t really have friends that were “into” music so it was fun for me.

I really need to go to a show. It’s been way too long. It’s my life blood!

I would also like a glass of wine.

So many worldly distractions.

I’ve been consuming way too much caffeine. Two cups of coffee a day, sometimes more, and sometimes I also have one Coke. I need to quit this. It seems to be the only real vice that I have left that I can’t let go of.

It’s Friday, and I’m here with the kids by myself today. It’s nice. But my house is a huge mess, because I’m busy with them and not cleaning it. And I’m tired. I stay up way too late at night playing around on the internet. I just need that time, you know? I just wish I wasn’t so tired.

I finally baked something the other day. It was DELICIOUS. I miss baking. It was a blueberry crumble cake, since we have a ton of blueberries and they needed used up. I still have two packages left, so perhaps I’ll do something else with it.

I need to take the kids outside.
