Sorry about that! My brain was mush after my recording diary. It&#8217;s still pretty much mush right now, but I&#8217;m hoping that will be more charming and less off-putting.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m always (not so) secretly thrilled when people tag me. It makes me feel like I&#8217;ve been invited to sit with the cool kids in the cafeteria. <\/p>\n<p>So, in no particular order, here are my seven random things:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I am playing fantasy baseball for the second year in a row. I finished dead last in my league last year, so this time I am simply hoping to finish ahead of <i>someone<\/i> this time around. It&#8217;s nice having low standards. They make it so easy to not fail. So far, I&#8217;m hovering around the middle of the pack. I am wildly ecstatic about this.\n<p>\n<\/li>\n<li>I recently bought a kid&#8217;s book on eBay (the first book in the Trixie Belden series, if you&#8217;re interested). I&#8217;m not entirely sure why I felt the need to do this. It was only $8 and I used to read my Grandmother&#8217;s copies when I was little. I suppose that could be justification enough. It&#8217;s an original copy from the 1940&#8217;s. That&#8217;s pretty neat.\n<p>\n<\/li>\n<li>I signed up for NaBloPoMo for the month of April. I almost forgot this. How embarrassing would it have been to have failed on the very first day? (answer: unfathomably so) This month&#8217;s theme is letters. I&#8217;m not so keen on doing 30 open letters, so I&#8217;ve decided to go Sesame Street style and have letter sponsors. I can&#8217;t wait for the entry that&#8217;s sponsored by the letters F and U.\n<p>\n<\/li>\n<li>We installed a chinup bar in our bedroom doorway. Now I do a couple of pull-ups every time I walk by. I think that I&#8217;m developing a pull-up addiction. Do they have 12-step groups for that?\n<p>\n<\/li>\n<li>I know who killed Laura Palmer.\n<p>\n<\/li>\n<li>It looks like Kristian and I might be buying a house this spring. I have already mentally decorated every single listing that we have seen. Luckily mental decoration is free, because that is a lot of paint and fabric!\n<p>\n<\/li>\n<li>Kristian wants to get rid of our TV when we find a new place, so that we don&#8217;t have to worry about moving it. Then he wants to upgrade to high def. I feel contractually obligated to be the tightwad in this situation (normally I am the one saying &#8220;let&#8217;s spend money on [foo]&#8221; and he gets to tell me to be reasonable). Secretly, I want to call his bluff whenever we go into Costco and he threatens to buy one of the pretty, shiny TVs that they have there and say, &#8220;sure, let&#8217;s go pick one out.&#8221; I will resist temptation, however, because I do not wish to spend our first year in our first house eating ramen noodles and clipping coupons for discount cat food.\n<p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today&#8217;s post is brought to you by the letters V and T Jenny at Sticky Feathers tagged me last week to do a random meme and I am just getting&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-295","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-random"],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5yggS-4L","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hoperoth.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hoperoth.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hoperoth.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hoperoth.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hoperoth.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=295"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hoperoth.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hoperoth.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=295"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hoperoth.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=295"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hoperoth.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=295"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
