Thirteen Things I've Been Doing Instead of Updating My Blog watching 3 to 4 hours of "Cops" every evening writing in my paper journal (#69, "Rebirth") catching up on my reading writing lists of things I want to do this year going to bed early playing with DD playing with the dogs watching football playoffs (yeah, don't ask) reading Metafilter and AskMetafilter watching tv doing laundry switching to the new Blogger and wondering if I will be able to update my blog template finding a million other things to do instead of get online :)
