Oh dread, the obligatory first post warning. Let's pretend this is already a very witty, regularly updated blog. Let's also pretend I'll remember to be charming and clever at a constant.

So....... I'm in nursing school, and to steal a thought process from another blogger, I'm not a fan of the word "nursing", it conjures breasts and babies and as people who know me KNOW, I'm pretty over that stage of life. So but then "I'm in school to be an RN" is cumbersome. But I digress, or did I already?

Hmmmm the blog post about the blog........... ok so I've had a blog before, in college. (oh that's right, I have been in college off and on for about 9 years now, don't judge. Said blog is from my 3 yrs at Umass Amherst) I'm pretty sure no one found it quite as entertaining as I did. But feel free to check it if you'd like here at LiveJournal.

Let's fast forward.......... I have been with my husband for 8 years (married for 8 months) and have 3 little results of this. So do I put their names or is that supposed to be irresponsible on the internets now (does anyone say web anymore?) seems like lots of blogs use initials or nickname identifiers. If only I were creative. Child #1 is 7 and female. child #2 is 5 and male. Child #3 is 4 and male also. Now I feel like I'm writing a research paper. I'll go with Suge, Bubs, and Danger. Ok i'm overanalyzing. Which I do. A lot.

Today I'm feeling VERY accomplished, Bill Gates-ish even. I jailbroke my old iPhone, in order to use it and only pay $45 a month unlimited. WOOOOOOOOOO you know that "I took cookies without mom knowing and got away with it" elation from childhood? That's what it felt like, and on second consideration reminds me how my obsession with food started quite early.

There's a fine line between interesting and overshare. I will attempt to lean towards the former.

Back to my personal victory over AT&T. They can kiss it.

I tried to name this blog "on the brink" but its taken. Cuz lots of times I get so overwhelmed I feel as though all my spinning plates will shatter. And sometimes they do. And I hate that. It's 9 am, I want coffee, and hence "sipping coffee on the brink" was birthed. It may change.

Warning: I am quite intelligized on the English language and all of it's capitalization rules and grammar rules etc etc. I do not always follow these rules. Yeah that's about as anti-establishment as I get, at least post age 25 or so. I'm pretty B.A Baracas..... "up yours ENGLISH language, i gotta do ME! uhh!"

I like reality tv. More than I let on in real life.

I have weird associations with things, and they weren't conscious decisions but when I think about them they entertain me a lot.  

The song "Golden" by My Morning Jacket.  I find it almost NECESSARY to listen to it, if possible, while driving through scenic parts of upstate NY where I live. It just fits .... but the weird association is that it makes me think of filling warm country oatmeal, and therefore Wilford BrimleyHere, let me serve you:



(Hey, I just met you and this is crazy but.............I just searched for this song on youtube and someone has made a little video of Golden while driving cross country, so i'm not the only one that thinks this is the perfect soundtrack to a nice ride!!!! i smell a kindred spirit)





mmmmm home-y and country-y and wholesome-y and warm in my belly space.


Which then makes me remember this :
 and then i smile.
