Things that have been keeping me sane

1. My strange addiction: it's this show on TLC where they show people who have the weirdest addictions, like bodybuilding, or eating couch cushions. There was this one girl who was addicted to wearing giant animal suits. The only bad thing, is that they don't tell you any part of the recovery process, or if the person did get better. They only focus on the terrible things. The season finale is about this girl who eats pottery and cigarette ashes. She hasn't had a drink of water in a month. So awful.

2. Valentines Cookies: Peter's mom gave me a box of heart shaped valentine's day cookies, and i keep sneaking them. But I finished up all of my favorite one's, so I'm not really sure what to do with the one's I don't like as much. I'll probably be sneaking those too. My favorite were the peanut butter chocolate.

3. Cleaning: I keep cleaning everything. (Although you wouldn't have guessed that given the appearance of my house). Take today for example. This afternoon, I washed the dishes, cleaned the kitchen counters, table, and chairs. I also swept and mopped the kitchen floor. I also helped my sister clean out her closet, and attempt to rearrange her room. She wanted her bed by the window. So we moved her book case and dresser in order to fit it in, but she ended up wanting everything back the way that it was. So I pretty much got to move around furniture for an hour. But it was therapeutic I suppose.

Today, I read about the serum run to Nome Alaska in 1925. Or better known by children of the 90's as the animated film, Balto. It's so strange, because this is one of the movies that i grew up on, and the whole thing is pretty much false. There was so much controversy around which dog should get more credit. Anyways... look it up, I found it pretty fascinating.
