Welp, my work filter thinks THAT link is pornography.

THIS IS MY SECRET DESIRE, TOO. Every time I see Arya, I think "maybe this is when Nymeria comes back." Or when Sansa returned to Winterfell: "Maybe Nymeria will trot up and comfort & reassure Sansa that Arya is okay & on her way home"

Oh man, I've been putting off getting my cholesterol and blood sugar tested because I'm sort of scared! I was raised eating junk food, and while my family doesn't have a history of cholesterol or diabetes issues, there's always a first, and I don't want it to be me! Though it might be the kick in the pants I need.

Also, it is so weird for me to say this, but I want to have a kid.

This is 100% me. My husband and I are really, seriously talking about trying to get pregnant Jan-Feb 2013, which is...not long from now, really. And I want to spend the next year and half-ish getting my body ready for it. I want to give my body and my baby the best chance for a healthy, easy, uncomplicated pregnancy I can, and part of that is changing the way I eat. A huge part. I want to get used to eating healthy foods NOW, cutting out excess sugar, salts and processed foods as much as I can, so I don't start my pregnancy with cravings and habits for junk food. I don't want to pass my potato chip and ice cream obsessions off to my kids (though I might experiment with making my own chips), and I want my family to easily be able to say no to crappy, gross food.

BUT. I find it hard to remind myself of my future baby when I want to skip gym or hit the fast food. I'm really trying to be more aware of the junk I put in my body and to eliminate it as much as possible, but it is HARD. Because damn if I don't want to give Pizza Hut a call EVERY. DAY. And I work at Starbucks, so saying no to those delicious pastries and ridiculous sugary drinks is HARD.

One day at time, that's all we can do.

Oh God, Molly, this is awesome! I've been feeling a need to incorporate a lot of this JUST DO IT attitude in my own life with my writing and making friends and being generally awesome. And you know, it's such a great feeling to JUST *DO IT*, already, you know? I want to write every day? I'm just effing DOING IT. It's awesome.

Yes! Being in a relationship is awesome, but it doesn't change the issues I had before being in one, and it's been a struggle to learn how to communicate openly, to find the words to calmly explain when something's bothering me or to be open about my own insecurities in school and work and finances. My man is awesome support, and I'm so glad to have him there for me, but he's not the final solution.

I totally feel you! Money stresses me out almost every time I think about it or pay bills or check my bank account. I made some poor credit card decisions while I was an undergrad, and I'm paying for that now, and when I got close to paying that debt off, Life happened, and the debt went right back up. Plus I've got school loans to pay now too, and it's a little overwhelming, especially because my financial future isn't looking any better, at least for the next year and a half while I work on my Masters.

It's a struggle to be open about my finances because I'm kind of just embarrassed about them; why can't I just have all my shit together already, you know?

I'm so excited for you! I'm really looking forward to how things go for you and how you handle what comes next. I'm about to be in the same position, and it is SO SCARY. But I am really looking forward to what comes next!

I'm so excited to read about your blossoming relationship!

My Feller reads most of what I put out on the internet. I love sharing that with him and knowing that's he's cool with it, and I find it helps keep me accountable about not putting out passive-aggressive nastiness out there. It also opens me up to extra vulnerability with him because, especially when we first started dating, I'll blog more openly about emotional stuff than I'm willing/able to verbalize with him.

Oh, God, I totally feel you on the "having a job in this recession" thing. I'm FINALLY in a place where I feel like I can let go of that safety net and start doing something else that I enjoy more.
