reflections
Wow, I'm sorry everyone. I did not know that the blog was still in existence and thus have not checked for about a year now...Thousand apologies oh patient one.
I was just being nostalgic and looking back at some of our old posts. Life sure seemed a lot happier three years ago when we started the blog. Tut and Issy smiling in front of the theater, Tut with her (used to be) crowds of RCF friends, Issy's students writing lovely "odes to Kristen". Man, life seemed good. Compare to now: Issy's job stinks. Tut is living in a toilet-paperless land of icky meat. And Wug is having some serious job/internship crises here in Princeton. Sigh.
Why do you think our blog posts went from happy latkes to morose brooding about life? I guess it means we're more comfortable with one another, but I think that life in general gets more complicated as you get older (minus retirement when you can finally build that summer home with Wug's thirty-seven digit retirement fund...hey, inflation is real. Thirty-seven digits will be nothing by then.) First we learn how to be content as kids, then as college students, then as workers in the real world, then as wives/mothers (!#$*#).
I have no idea where I'm going with this. Actually, I should go and do something useful (like read Slug's Ichiro blog), but I wanted to show that I still was aware of the blog's existence. I think I just wanted to say that life really ain't so bad. In light of Thanksgiving, here are some things Wug is thankful for:
-family, especially sisters...Wug is really really thankful for Tut and Issy. Tut, because she periodically puts grandiose engleesh thoughts in Wug's lil pea-sized brain to mull over and because she spices up Wug's life with spiciness. Issy, because she is Wug's role model/supah-hero (ouch my toe! okay, who remembers da supah-dupah from Homer Price??? simply mah-velous). I mean, come on, who doesn't want to be like Issy when they grow up? Issy takes care of us, Issy is an altruistic human being who saves orphans in Honduras, Issy actually has f-f-f-friends (sorry, not part of Tut and Wug's vocabulary. eh wug, speak for yourself. okay, not part of Wug's vocabulary). And Issy has a mighty fine Christmas present coming her way in a few months (stop hyping it up, Wug...okay really Issy, it isn't that cool, so this will be my last mention of it).
-student-dom....Being a college student is stressful sometimes, but man oh man, when I look at post-college life, I never want to leave. All I have to do here is eat, sleep, and study (in that order, of course).
-basic health and safety...I think about this more after I went to Ghana and saw all those kids drinking muddy water. Can you imagine being born in another country?
Hey, didn't we do this in a previous year? Say all the things we're thankful for? Erm, as you know from my excellent HP retention, I have no memory so someone should please inform me. I'll write more later. TTFN. Terrible tomatoes fight nefariously. Oooo, GRE vocab word.
