~@##7cakes

So I was recently engaging in some auto-googling (I recently got turned on to this procrastination tool) and found a cool variant of my name in the internet world ~@##7cakes (if you haven't noticed by now, I am trying very hard to keep my identity a secret because this is my secret blog). At first, I thought, wow, that's such a cool name, and wondered if the bakery sold a t-shirt or something like that so I could wear it with pride. They didn't seem to have one on the website. But then it seems that name has also been taken up by many males, mostly between the ages of 16 ad 32. Then I was a bit bummed...the new variant on my name didn't sound so cool. I think I'd still like to get the t-shirt if it is available. But I also know that I run the risk of being associated with a bunch of meat head guys (because as we all know, guys are just meat heads- i am being facetious here fellas!). In all seriousness, I liked the idea that I had this special name and it was all mine. sigh...now I have to share it with a bunch of other people in the world.
sigh.

I am not unique. I am not special. I am just a dot in the multi-dotted wallpaper of humanity. I am not even special enough to be a misshapened dot. Well, you know what, so are you! so there!

vacation

I really need a vacation. Lucky for me, I am going away for 12 days. Eight of which with my husband to his high school reunion and to visit his father. Then four of which to visit my friend in Colorado. I am so looking forward to the excuse to NOT respond to emails and return phone calls. To limit the amount of work and academic reading I take because I simply can't fit it all in my luggage. sigh....
it will be so nice.
