I'm not doing anything so I guess I will write about something. Or probably I will write about nothing. I guess if I am writing about nothing, it is really something. Right now I am writing about writing about nothing.
I guess I will tell you about my day now. They say a good day starts the night before so maybe that is where we should start. I went to the mall with my second family to go Christmas shopping, only I didn't do any shopping because I am unemployed and broke. Christmas is stressful when you have no money to buy presents, but there are solutions. I wonder what the Pioneers did for Christmas? Probably whittled. I like whittling, maybe I'll do that. Anyways, back to the mall. I am not a mall walker. I do okay for about 30 minutes and then I lose interest and I start to dangle and swing my arms when I walk as I over dramatize over foot step. It is a performance that I excel at. I have been nominated for the Lifetime Achievement Award by my fellow dramatic walkers. My Mom can vouch. Highlights from the Mall include seeing a man dressed in some kind of Chinese silk dress and also being able to put my keen fashion sense to use while helping Gentri pick out her presents.
After the mall I went to the Trinnamans house. I brought some soldering supplies from my house and learned how to solder some charms together with Sister Trinnaman. Her name is Terry but I want to make sure I am respectful seeing that she is the one who feeds me most of the time. Yeah thats right, I had arts and crafts time on a Friday night. That is why I am cool. I then watched a movie from my childhood called "Little Nemo". Someone was taking some mind altering drugs when they made that movie and thats about all I have to say about it. *On a side note, it should be said that about a week ago, I instituted an 11:00 o clock cerfew. I have followed that cerfew on one occasion. There is room for improvement.

This morning I read scriptures with the lovely Whitney White. I know, her name sounds like she is a princess from a fairy tale, and she is. She most definately is. After watching "Night at the Museum 2" Whitney had to go to Logan for a family Christmas party. My parents are gone and my brother is on some sort of dating extravaganza that I don't have energy to get into right now. So I am house sitting. I instantly kicked into house sitting mode. This is where I get to use my imagination.
Almost always when I am home alone I begin my day the same. I take a bubble bath in my parents gigantic tub, I put on my Fathers bath robe and I cook something and put lots of butter in it. Today has been no different. I found a huge bag of shrimp in the freezer from Costco, I began by only cooking a half dozen or so. This was my plan. I was going to excercise some self control here. I didn't. I ended up eating, well, way too many. Now my house smells like shrimp and burnt butter. That was over 3 hours ago. I am not wafting in the ambiance.
Since the shrimp I have been surviving off the steady stream of neighbors and their Christmas goodies. Even as I write this I am indulging in a ball of cheese but am about to run out of crackers and will likely have to move on to some salt water taffy. Very nutritious.
It is not a very noble thing that I feel better now because I just forced you to waste some of your day reading about how I have wasted mine. Muah ha ha.

Yes, you are funny. It's okay to read about how you wasted time because we all do it too, and you make it sound better when you put your clever twist of words in there. Keep writing!
