Japanese hair straightening

the baby is going to wake up in a few hours and then i am going to wonder why i stayed up so late to write about nothing...
What i'm thinking right now: wow, i wonder where that fish smell is coming from... i thought i totally scored when i found that otterpop at the back of the freezer, but that's also when i first noticed the smell...

i wish i had three or four hundred dollars to get a Japanese hair straightening treatment. they say it makes your hair so straight you don't even have to blowdry it... i wonder if anyone knows how much easier that'd make my life... but if i had that much extra money i'd probably spend it paying bills... boring!

taking emma to the doctor tomorrow morning. she's getting shots, and she's going to cry... which will make me feel like i'm a terrible person. the funny thing is i remember how much i hated going to the doctor when i was little and now i can't believe i'm doing the same thing to my little girl... that's life i suppose, i just can't believe how fast mine's going by!

old post about living on a boat

living on a boat (not for long)
Current mood: hungry

so i live on a boat... granted i'm moving soon to an apartment on solid ground... but i figured i should probably correct some of your thinking on the subject...

one common misconception is that i live on a boat, out in the middle of the ocean somewhere. when i told my friends we were going to live on a boat, they naturally assumed i would be rowing my dingy up to the beach each morning and scaling the cliffs to get on campus for school... really i live at a yacht club. we have running water, electricity, television, internet, a shower, and all the modern conveniences inside the boat (except for a decent size closet).

#2 I live on a boat, therefore i must thoroughly enjoy jokes about being a pirate... this may have been true 6 months ago when we first moved in, but trust me i've heard them all by now... and if i hear one more you'll be the next to walk the plank (it's funny if i make the jokes, just not you)

#3 Living on a boat is not the most terrible thing in the world as some of you have supposed. I don't hate it, as a matter of fact it was a pretty big adventure, and another story i'll have to entertain people at parties... but seriously it's taught dave and i a lot of lessons about being married, working together, and how we really don't need all the stuff the world tells us we need... but we do need a microwave...

when i was growing up, from time to time i'd try to write in a diary. i would usually come upon that diary years later, read the pages, and rip them out after realizing how embarassed i was of my former self. that's what i did with this blog... i don't know how this is going to work out
