53. I'm pretty sure I get stress headaches. They come at the end of a really long day when I've tried to pack it full with things to do on my to-do list. They seem to be compounded when things out of my control don't work out. Like compressed files on the computer or a slow internet connection. I think I clench my teeth, too.
54. The other day I made frogeye salad for my dinner group. Too bad there wasn't a warning on the recipe that told me to use the biggest bowl possible to mix it all in. Being my smart self, I used my biggest mixing bowl . .. but it was STILL overflowing! And it called for an entire bag of small marshmallows. I'm serving it tonight, so the whole process of making it better be worth it.
55. I have three flavors of ice cream in my freezer.
56. I watched Spencer the weatherman on the news today.
57. I also watched part of The View talkshow where they interviewed a family with 18 children. Yup. All natural births, and all under the age of 21 (with two sets of twins), and all names start with the letter J. That. is. ridiculous! It makes Mom's combined 6 years of pregnancy look like nothing. I almost feel bad for all the kids because in order to stay out of debt, they have to buy second-hand things; they even make their own laundry soap to save money. Wow. If their public appearances are anything like the Blake family, then I can only imagine what sort of spectacle they put on! And the hosts asked the parents, "Is this the last one, or are there more?" "I'm all for more, if the Lord says so," responds the mom. Yeah, she must be super righteous or something because I'm pretty sure she and her husband are trying to single-handedly fulfill the commandment to "multiply and replenish the earth."
58. My email account is loading something, so I'm taking this time to relieve stress. I need to stop thinking about everything that I have to do in the next few months because I could quite possibly die on the spot.
59. I just spent a good chunk of the last hour trying to download the supplemental music files from my music history class. They were compressed files sent through some website, which basically means that it's incredibly difficult to download them on my personal computer, either through email or my jump drive. So, I pretty much give up on that account, which means that it's one more thing to add on my list "Go to library and listen to pieces enough to be able to recognize them on my test next week."
60. UUUUGGHH!
61. There. I relieved some more stress, although I don't know how much it helped. My headache is still here. And I still have one more class, preparing dinner for my dinner group, and a paper that I need to work on. Oh, such is life.
62. Craziness never ends. But this post does.
63. Hey, I got the files to work!! Now, on to the next item of business . . .literally, an item of busy-ness. Tune in later for a post when my head isn't pounding. Perhaps the next post will be more profound, funny, or logical.
64. Most likely, it won't be. =)

Bec, don't die on the spot. We heart you. Good luck with getting everything done. How was your dinner group? Did peeps like it? Tonight I made hotdog boats for my dinner group and people made several comments about being impressed. I thought previously that I was somewhat shorting them with food compared to the last few meals. I guess you can never tell.
Rebecca, I've seen that family on TV several times -- I'm quite certain they get paid by whatever channel airs their story. I saw them once preparing to go and then going on a trip. They used two huge bus-type vans. They had everyone wear the same color of shirts on the same day so that laundry would be easier (no sorting).
Good luck with everything. Ditto Jen -- don't die on the spot. There are people out there somewhere in the world waiting to hear the gospel from you!
:o( Wuboo!
