you know you're spending too much time on the computer

When you wake up giggling in the middle of the night from a very vivid dream in which you and your friends are sitting around joking about witty and snarky Facebook status updates you'd ghostwrite for each other. In your half-awake stupor, you make a mental note to "blog about this tomorrow." Unfortunately, when you wake up the next morning, you can't remember any of the sarcastic and pithy taglines, only the admonition to blog. So blog I am doing.

1. blogging for the fun of it.
2. friends who try to coax Maren into smiling
3. Christmas shopping mostly done
