pantryslut1. I have been having strange, intense dreams again. They veer wildly from friends of mine committing suicide, to concerns over empty toilet paper rolls.
2. My hormones are weird. (I do not speculate as to whether item #1 is related to this fact or not.)
3. I had a very busy weekend. Sadness, sweetness, friends, and football. I don't know if I'm ready to go into details yet.
4. We have tons of food left over from our Superbowl party last night.
5. Every single speck of the pretzel bites I made, though, are gone. I will send the recipe around as soon as I have a free moment to type it in. It's really easy! I am beginning to love the simple yeasted doughs, the ones that take five minutes of kneading, like the doughnuts and the pretzels.
6. I have been doing some difficult emotional work, but I think the rewards have been great.
7. I have decided that the core challenge of my life is this: I have a very strong personality, I am outspoken and blunt and bull-headed too...and I also have a great deal of empathy. So, it's easy for me to hurt people, but I very much don't want to. At the same time, it is not so fun to spend so much time feeling like I'm holding back -- one slip and there might be disaster.
8. Steven this morning said that the above sounded very similar to classic Claremont-era X-Men plots. Which explains a lot.
9. G. also pointed out some things about how both these things (the combination of these things?) are attractive to people. I think he referred to it as "the curse of being a leader," although it is hard for me to conceptualize myself as a leader :) And yet, there it is, conceptualized or not, I suppose.
10. Whatcha got for me?
