well, first of all it's tuesday, the most common day for me to blog. i don't know why subconsiously i have chosen this particular day to grace the world with more of my random speculation, but tuesday it is. i have been wrestling with some pride this morning. some aspiration to greatness that will never come to pass. i was thinking about how great it would be if, after i die, someone finds my blog and publishes it. then millions of people would read about my semi-boring life and be inspired and amazed, not because i am so terribly interesting to read about, but because this semi-boring life has been so well written. amazing the lengths to which my mind will go in order to be self-glorifying.

moving along, i was thinking about making bagels today. yes, from scratch. yes...i know how to do that, well mostly know...at least, i have a recipe. it sounds fun anyway, i'll probably destroy my kitchen and burn the bagels, which my husband will obligingly eat and tell me they're better than his moms (omitting the fact that his mom never made bagels before, although she probably has because she is super-human). what is so unfair about my super-human mother-in-law is that not only is she as close to perfect as is humanly possible, she is also unbelievably nice and helpful and wise and all the things women dream of having in a mother-in-law. so i can't hate her, because she is not hatable. i can only never come close to being as wonderful as she is, knowing all the while that my husband grew up with her as the pattern for his future wife...how he got me is baffling, but he is quite color blind, so maybe he is wife blind too. he says it's because i have such big boobs (not exactly the most romantic comment, but hey, it's better than having really small boobs that he has to lie about liking)

wow, what a meaningless digression...i hope they don't publish that part of my blog until WAY after i am dead. although, i know they will never puublish my blog now that i have written about publishing my blog, because it just doesn't work that way. they only publish things that people never intended to have published, so, if anything, they will only pubish the part i just wrote that i want left out of my blog novel. Bah...people suck (except my mother-in-law)
