A New Post

Because Kate demanded ever so politely. And because I have yet to post something in the new year and 2009 is already almost a month old. 

My excuse for this month has been an extended road trip. I am working on my excuse for next month. 

I have yet to finish writing my list of new year's resolutions. It is extensive. I also had a huge to-do list (which I also haven't finished writing yet). I was very proactive about one of the first items, which was going to the dentist for a check-up. I think it took some of the satisfaction of crossing it off my list when the dentist told me I have ten cavities that need to be filled and I should get my wisdom teeth out, but that my insurance probably wouldn't pay for both in one year. Now instead of having that one item on the list I have about five more dentist appointments to make, plus calling the insurance company, buying fluoride rinse (check!), etc. Not to mention how stupid I feel for not making it to the dentist in 2008. 

Last year I think my new year's resolutions were to volunteer and write. I started volunteering at 826 Seattle in February and I think I finally got around to joining a writing class in April or so. I also planned to exercise sometime last year as well, but never quite got around to that. I also resolved to blog regularly.

But it's a new new year. And I just got up to check why my water wasn't boiling after ten minutes. I was confused because my first thought was that I had turned the wrong burner on yet again (which is sad because I only have two burners these days), but I really didn't think that was the case. I felt for sure I had double checked this time since I had only an hour before been talking to Crystal about that very issue. Actually, it was more of a debate as to whether you can burn pans. I think her point was that pans are made to heat up and so you'd have to be really stupid to burn one. I think my point was that I am that stupid and have the burnt pans to prove it, therefore proving that you can burn pans. 

Water is making heating noises now. Oh, and I had turned the wrong burner on. But fortunately said burner had come out of its connection so my George Foreman did not melt. 

The end.
