Happy Week-iversary!

In relationships, celebrating a one-week anniversary may seem a little excessive, especially for those of us who are no longer twelve years old.  But since I started my blogging venture just one short week ago, I feel as if I’ve accomplished some serious goals.

Creatures of the Night



Morning Lark

Night Owl

I’ve always been amazed at the ability of some people to set their alarm and wake up when it goes off.  Personally, I have no concept of how to perform such a task.  I set my alarm (when I have to set my alarm) an hour before I need to get up so that I can push that snooze button (a masterful invention in my opinion) at least 6 times, though I probably squeeze a couple more in for good measure.  Don’t get me wrong, I hate the sound of the alarm, so much so that I ban products that feature that dastardly sound in their television ads. But, I rarely remember hearing the sound more than once or twice when I actually wake up.  Pushing the snooze button has become such a natural part of my waking process that I don’t even wake up to do it.

Beauty Blahs

I have never been the kind of girl to put much effort into her looks.  I shower and brush my teeth most days and I brush my hair when it starts to look scraggly.  I think my attitude toward beauty comes from my disdain for the fact that men don’t have to have beauty routines.  I know, times, they are a-changing, but most (straight)men put very little effort into the way they present themselves to the world.  So I figure, in the name of equality and all that jazz, I should adopt a similar attitude.

Obsessions..

I am certainly one of those types of people that become fixated with the things that I like.  I will spend hours, days, weeks, (or if it's really bad) years obsessing over things that have captured my fleeting attention.  I may even be able to qualify for "My Strange Addiction" on TLC with some of my preoccupations.  Last night, after my first post, I probably spent four hours searching the interwebs for tips on how to get you, my darling readers, to fall in love with my humble blog and tell all your friends about it.  One of the helpful hints I found was the need for pictures.  Some people need visual stimulation, I can't knock that.  With this being my first blog, I didn't want to break any laws that I was unaware that I could break, so searching for pictures on the web seemed a bit out of the question.  But the glorious people at Creative Commons have come to my rescue with their wonderful search engine and I have found some pics that I can now share with you along with some of my own amateur photography.  So I present to you my current Top Ten Obsessions:
