Randomness

Potato Soup:
Just bought some of the Campbell's Select soups as it's been quite cold lately and soup has sounded really good. Well in truth soup in a bread bowl has been sounding really good, but the cafe downstairs from my apartment has been trying to find a new baker and so they haven't had their bread bowls for nearly a month. It's a bit heartbreaking when you get all excited about it and then show up and nothing. Nothing at all. Anyways, I'm getting ready to sit down to a nice hot bowl of potato soup and I as I take my first sip I realize to my horror that there's no pepper in it. As previously noted I'm a bit of a pepper freak. It just makes everything better. But potato soup with no pepper in it? None at all? What are you thinking Campbells? You put some green parsley looking crap in there and some celery bits but no black pepper?

Weekend:
I had a talk with my dad weekend before last about life and whatnot and he gave me some advice that I'd known, but couldn't manage to follow without hearing it from him. He told me I'm an adult and I should live my life, stop worrying about making everyone else happy. So this past weekend I put that into effect. I went home and did what I wanted all weekend. I hung out with my mom and watched a show with her, I went to the movies with my dad and I hung out with the B man while getting to see some friends. I just made plans and went with it instead of worrying if my loved ones would be happy with my schedule. You see I've been very torn, well for quite some time, because I'm very close to my parents, but now that I'm in law school I just don't seem to have the time to spend with everyone every time I'm home, and as the quarters wear on, I'm home less and less. So I'd been spending my trips home trying hard to please everyone. The problem was, people wanted me to spend most of my time with them and there's no way to spend a majority of time with everyone. So I got to where I didn't really look forward to going home because I knew I wouldn't have fun. I knew I'd agonize over making people happy and then make no one happy. But this last trip home was very nice.

Barbies:
I'm trying to cut down on how much just crap I have. Now the Barbies aren't actually with me in Waco. No they live in the closets at my parent's house. And my parents are trying to cut down on the amount of crap they have too. Growing up I collected Barbies. As in, I have tons of Barbies still in the boxes, never opened. And now I want to get rid of all but a few. I tried to do this a few years ago and my means to this end was to use eBay. The problem with Barbies and eBay is that no one wants to buy them for what they're worth. I have some highly collectable dolls worth hundreds of dollars and I couldn't get people to bid more than 30 dollars. So if anyone knows a good avenue to sell these suckers, let me know. I think I'm going to have to find a doll auction or something and try to sell them that way. Not entirely sure how this is going to work, but I can't keep them all. They're a tricky thing to collect as you can't just shove them in the attic to store them. That would ruin the plastic. So many need to go. A few can stay. Especially that few that are porcelain and gorgeous and I can't seem to part with.

Moving:
I'm moving at the end of the week. Just down the hall from where I am now, but still moving. We shall see what kind of insanity ensues from this.

And now I have homework to do.
