Top O'The Mornin' To Ya-- And Also With You (Notebook blog, March 17, 2008)

Yay for St. Patrick's day! And yay for Palm Sunday! (which was yesterday, but that's beside the point). One more week, and I can facebook and google and wikipedia and e-mail to my heart's content. But I really hope I don't.

It's usually a hit-or-miss with Lent. Sometimes I'll give something up, only to never touch it again (take coffee for example... ick.) But then there are those times (and I'm afraid that this shall be one of them) when all-hell breaks loose on Easter (sweet, now my awful puns are bringing elements of irony upon themselves :) and I absolutely binge without ever looking back. I HATE when I do that.

Maybe I just shouldn't think about it-- maybe all of this time I let the idea of failure and regression occupy my thoughts, I'm becoming more and more prone to fulfilling my very own self-fulfilling prophecy, and that I'm going to cut-loose and be an unstoppable internet fiend by the time Lent is through. Better the internet than chips and candy, I guess. I'm honestly not missing those too much. Except chocolate, but of course that goes without saying.

Woops, I didn't realize how late it's getting. Family dinner on St. Patty's day, woot! Too bad I'm not Irish. But the cousins are, so maybe they'll spread some Irish cheer-- and hopefully some Irish beer, haha. KIDDING, there will be no drinking. Speaking of ridiculous (ok, not a very smooth transition, just work with me here), I really need to re-vamp this iPod-- a 1/2 hr drive to Oak Forest can't possibly be pleasant until I get some Beatles on here. I'll do that now. Is that excessive internet? No, wait, I don't use iTunes, therefore no internet involved. Sweet, loophole!
