Ramblings on a Rainy Day

Rainy days are yucky...The only thing I want to do is light a Woodwick candle (I love the sound of a fire but am not lucky enough to have a fireplace) get in my pajamas and read a good book. I just got cable and a DVR for the first time in a few years so I'm pretty much happier than I've ever been in my whole life. (Insert sarcastic tone here.) Honestly, I think I'm so used to not having TV I don't know what to do with it. You can only watch so many reality shows before you just get sad and a little ashamed of the human race in general. I am definitely not used to having a DVR, I usually watch about 4 commercials before I remember I don't have to watch them. Then I fast forward into too much of my show and have to rewind. This whole process probably takes longer than actually watching the commercials...technology is so tricky.

So, (insert clever segue here) as a result of a conversation where I was told that my Facebook status updates were "boring," I decided to post a new one today. "Jenn is heading to Zambia to tour orphanages with Bono" was displayed on my profile about 2:00 pm. Here is the crazy part, by 3:00 I received numerous text messages and comments indicating that some of my friends thought this was what I was actually doing. I guess I should be flattered that people actually believe that my life is that cool but Bono? Really? A more realistic Facebook status would read, "Jenn just put on a load of clothes and is watching an episode of Family Guy she has seen 100 times with the commercials, even though she doesn't have to, because she isn't smart enough to work a DVR." But perhaps I shouldn't be so honest, it may take the mystery and magic out of my apparent Rock Star Status....The fact that I had an entire conversation about the quality of my Facebook status updates probably doesn't help either...and then I wrote about it. Please ignore this entire blog.
