Lesson Of The Day, Numero Uno

Lesson of the Day: Do not overeat.

I'm not kidding. BAD idea.

This lesson takes a leaf out of my book, because not once, but TWICE today, I've overeaten, and waddled away from the table feeling like an over-stuffed pig. This is not healthy, and I do not recommend it for ANYONE. Overeating is discouraged in the Bible, I've discovered. It mentions "gluttony" which I most certainly indulged in today. I write this lesson to warn you, my children. Do not fall into gluttony. It makes you feel fat, and guilty that you were able to eat while children are starving in China.

This was random, I know, but you will benefit from this wisdom someday.

At least, I hope so.

Stay healthy,

Jo

I am so sore, I can barely move.

I am so sore, I never ever WANT to move again.

And it is all because of softball. We had tryouts today; day one of a two week conditioning program, that has left me incapacitated. I did well, right up until I couldn't even kneel during prayer because my quads had stopped working. But at least I'll have tomorrow off to rest because I am going to the dentist *cue horrified screaming*.

Yes...the dentist. The happiest place on earth. For sadists, maybe. That is not important, however. What is important is that beginning sometime in the very near future, I shall be doing a thing called the "Lesson of the Day" on this very blog, in which I give -what else- a "lesson of the day". These will be life changing, so you definitely don't want to miss this.

Gabs, are you reading this? My one reader can't let me down. I think I need to give you a nickname, to show how awesome you are for listening to my inane ramblings. I will think long and hard about this....tomorrow. Right now, all I want is to sleep.

Sleep Tight,

Jo

Exciting things....

So, I am working in the manuscript of my novella, and I am quite pleased to say that it is almost finished! I am so excited I would be bouncing off the walls...if I weren't too tired.

Why am I so tired, you may ask? Because I finally...FINALLY finished my finals! And, to add to this amazing affair, there is no school tomorrow. I'm probably going to celebrate by not doing homework or thinking ANYTHING about school. Instead, I think I'm going to just be a lazy bum and sit on the couch lurking on my computer all day. It is going to be so much fun.

Ooh! I almost forgot. I went to a consignment store today and bought the most amazing scarf ever (it made me think of you, Gabby) and a shirt that I have wanted for, quite possibly, my entire life. It's a long sleeved, flannel, black and white plaid button up shirt and it's to die for. And it was only seven bucks!

I love bargain hunting.

Always,

Jo

Blog The First

Seeing as it is the night before my English final, and I am in the midst of making a poster for my Bible class, this first blog will be short.

I really created this blog so that I could watch a few blogs I know about without having to strain my tired, final-overloaded brain by remembering their names (cough, Gabs, cough, cough). Pathetic, I know, but while making an account, I realized that I have always wanted to try my hand at blogging, and as they say, the rest is history.

First attempt....a success? I'm not sure yet. I don't even know who would find or read this anyway. I'm unused to the world of blogging, so please, forgive my naivete.

Always and sincerely,

Jo.
