It's the Thought that Counts, Right?

Many times in the last couple of weeks I have thought of blogging. I really, truly have. But, I just haven't had the energy. I used to take a few minutes out of a day at work to post something. My computer at work was faster than mine at home and it was a nice little break. With the new job, I really don't have time for it and don't feel comfortable doing as many personal things on my computer there (yet). When I get home at night, I think about sitting down to a post but usually get distracted and decide that I'll do it later. So, here's a short list of the things that I have thought about blogging. Maybe this will inspire me to give you more information. Let me know if you actually want to hear more about any of these.
1. I could give you a general update on the new job.
2. I could talk about the thousands of times I have had to travel down to the south side since I have started.
3. I could tell you about my really awesome financial planner dude and how I'm on the right track to retire well. Seriously, he's awesome. If you live in Chi-town and need someone, let me know and I'll get you his digits.
4. I could talk about my Friday night two weeks ago where everything I ate was in the shape of a cupcake.
5. Do you want to hear the story of the huge cockroach roaming my office today? It was gross.
6. How I'm having to learn self-control now that I work in one of the best shopping areas in this country. Seriously people, I have to walk by some of the best looking shoes I have ever seen!
7. How on my first day of work our office manager apparently described someone as being 'about as useful as tits on a nun' and I totally didn't hear her.
8. I made my first major mistake of my job the other day and lived to tell about it.
9. Do you want to hear how frustrating it is to still be paying rent in my current apartment when all I want is a place of my own? Really, is it that hard to find a subletter?
10. I went to Ohio for the first time in my life and went to a wedding of two people who I didn't know.
11. On said trip to Ohio I came down with a really nasty cold that almost lasted two weeks. I've since shared it with a couple of my co-workers. Whoops!
12. I did make the minestrone soup I talked about in my last post. It's not very exciting. I probably won't make it again unless I can figure out how to make it more interesting. I still have some in my fridge it you want to try it.
13. I did make some amazing macaroni and cheese last weekend. I wish I still had some of that in my fridge.
14. Did you know that it's still pretty much winter here in Chicago? I'm over it.
15. I've thought about doing my taxes 342 times. I still haven't done them.
16. I won $6 in the lotto today. Too bad I have to share that prize with 10 other people.
