It feels so relentless at times and there is no end in (reasonable) sight. I don't have the same urge to write as you, but I do have a sweet book idea and no time to write. Blogging is easier because it's so fragmentary and no one really critiques it. You could just move to MD and then we could trade off watching each other's kids. Genius idea right?

I like to try out some new makeup from Sephora and get an on-trend outfit or two. After being pregnant and then being a zombie for months, it's nice to get something that fits (even if you don't want to buy a size up). I have been spending a ridiculous amount of money on not being dumpy. But it's not until I am fit that I actually start to feel better.

But I've gone into insane mode where if I sleep from 10 to 2 am I'm like ready to rock the next day. This is the truly dangerous point.

You're clearly getting more than 4 or 5 hours if you're thinking about grooving and shit. :) Are you getting too much sleep or something?

I once had the neighborhood kids sit me down for a "you're too bossy" intervention. So I feel ya' on that. What's your Myers-Briggs? ENTJ? INTJ? Nice.

Seriously, its so sad. I liked being a student so much better: being the one who does the reading and pulls the ideas together vs. teaching a preset curriculum dictated by the state. I feel like when people ask me what my favorite book is my answer should be some literary classic. But the truth is my favorite book is Midwives by Chris Bohjalian. I guess that qualifies as in the middle. Not exactly highbrow. Not quite close enough to the bottom to be lowbrow. And I can never remember which is my favorite movie.

I've had a ton of personality testing (I'm not crazy, it was for work) and the best result was learning that I'm a "Driver" in group settings. It's a fun way to describe how I'm a bossy bitch who assumes a leadership position and my minions follow my orders and look to me for guidance.
