Various Matters

- I am making an effort to use proper punctuation now. Which means that when I refer to satan, the lower-case "S" is more significant. The middle finger of grammar. It's really too bad I don't refer to satan more often.

- My feelings about New Year's Resolutions:

Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”— yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.”

I know. I just did the most pretentious thing a Christian can ever do. Turned a perfectly harmless practice into a spiritual issue.


- Today I purchased a "Mom's Plan-it 2012 Calendar." It has a place for your grocery list every week, and a place to plan your weekly menu. Which is something I already do on random pieces of paper. The planners named "The 27 Almost 28 Year Old Single Woman 2012 Calender For People With Nothing To Do" weren't as practical. I will say, though, that I have no use for the page of sticker reminders for "Open House" and "School Picture Day". The next page of sticker reminders for "Haircut" and "Lunch Date" appointments I might be able to use.

Just kidding.

- My favorite political blogger sometimes titles his post "Various Matters" and I really want to steal as many of his techniques as possible, but his other titles rarely work for my subject matter. While we're talking about him, you should definitely read this post he wrote. I have been wanting him to comment more extensively on the election season charade. It's brilliant. As usual.
