Diary of a Sane White Lady

- I like to take notes on completely white, unlined paper. I cringe when I have to write on paper with lines. I don’t know why. It started in college when I would be taking notes in class and had to do free-body diagrams in Mechanics of Materials. Ever since then I have been writing on plain white paper.

- I love taking notes! I miss that part of college. I would have my blue, red, green, and black pens as well as my sharpies and would create the most beautiful and organized notes ever. This made my soul happy.

- I'm kind of a nerd. Oh, one Christmas my grandma (Hi Grandma! See you Sunday!) got me the coolest calculator ever! It was a TI-89 Titanium and it could graph and... nevermind. Let's just stick with I'm kind of a nerd. No need to give you proof. 

- $10 bills are my favorite. Whenever I get cash-back I always ask for it in tens. They make me smile.

- I like to think about where words came from. Like ‘please’. I mean think about it: If you want something really badly you would plead for it. You would offer a plea. So if you really wanted it you might offer up multiple pleas. Or you might just say, “Please.” My head is spinning.

- Or the word 'instead'. If you are going in someone’s place you are going in their stead, or if you shorten that, you are going instead. Too cool.

- I have no idea if either of the last two things that I have told you are true. I like to think they are. There are so many words out there that make NO sense at all and that is annoying.

- Like raze. If you raze a building you are actually demolishing it, while if you raise a building you are building it. That is just crazy talk.

- Or discombobulate. “To throw someone into a state of confusion.” While this word appears to make perfect sense, it seems like the opposite of discombobulated would be combobulated, which doesn’t exactly sound like an adjective used to describe someone out of the state of confusion.

- I hate all things coffee. I have never ever ever ever ever tasted anything that had anything to do with coffee that I even remotely liked. I can’t even stand the smell of it. Smells like skunk.

- John Darrin loves all things coffee.

- I don’t know how we live together sometimes.

- How is it possible to have a runny nose and a stuffy nose at the same exact moment? I don't understand it, but I am currently living proof that it is completely possible.

- Engineers are weird.

- Musicians are weirder.

- Artists are the weirdest.

- I am an engineer, my husband is a musician, and Miranda is an artist.

- That is why we all get along so well.

- John Darrin and I think that Miranda should marry a cowboy. We think it would be good for her.

- Does anyone know any single cowboys? :) Sorry Maru, I will stop now.

- Enjoy your Monday, people!
