Oh yes. That’s right. I stalk blogs like it’s going out of style. It probably is, actually, going out of style at this point…how long have I been blogging? Something ridiculous, like 6 years or something? Someone help me out with that one. Don’t get me wrong, I do comment occasionally – occasionally – but I’m a pretty shy person in general and commenting on a stranger’s blog, to me, is akin to walking up to them in real life and being all “Hi! I’m Angi! You’re cool! Wanna be my friend!?” which is something that would never, ever happen.

So, I figured I’d do two things today.

First, I’ll give a shout out to all the blogs I stalk read. That way, I can passively aggressively say “Hey! You’re cool! Wanna be friends!?” Secondly, I am going to shamelessly do a “Five Things Friday” meme. As far as I can tell, I get to list five random things about myself. Which is perfect for me…randomness and lists, combined. Hallelujah.

So, here’s the list of those fabulous people I wish I were friends with in real life:

Skinny Runner. Seriously, I wish I could run bajillions of miles every day like she does. Also, she fishes. In Alaska. Where I live. Automatically cool.

Stilettos and Diapers. Cutest family, cutest little boy (and one on the way!), cutest fashion, and she makes pregnant look good. I’m hoping to pick up some tips for when the Mr. and I have a little bugger someday soon.

MODG. She puts the humor in motherhood. I can’t read a post of hers without laughing. Also, I fully intend on stealing her baby room theme (hope that’s okay). Even my husband drooled over the awesomeness that is her son’s room, and that’s saying something.

Wish Fulfillment Every Day. This chick has gone to hell and back with her health lately, and still manages to keep a good attitude and sense of humor, at least most of the time (and who would seriously expect it all the time!?). Also, she is who I’m stealing “Five Things Friday” from. Consider it a compliment!

OKAY. Now that I have that done, it’s time for…

Five Things Friday!!
(again, thanks Layla!)

1. My husband and I have decided to start shopping for a house to buy. This scares the snot out of me. I’m terrified we’re going to end up with a money-sucker of a house, or one that I won’t want to send my parents pictures of because it’s so hideous (like 90% of the homes in this town).

2. The last three times we’ve tried to barbecue, we can’t get the charcoal to light, even with gallons of lighter fluid. We keep our charcoal inside, so it’s not wet, or even damp…anyone have any ideas? I’ve never had this problem before.

3. Yesterday’s blog was written in a local coffee shop, where they have started limiting internet usage to 90 minutes per person at a time. I have no idea if they give out time extensions or not, I didn’t ask…but maybe I shouldn’t, or I could end up just living there. I love coffee shops.

4. I am so, so, so jealous of girls that actually get a summer. It’s not fair that it’s the middle of July and I’m still in long pants, closed shoes, and sweaters. I could have worn a coat the other day it was so cold, but I refused out of principle.

5. I have a job interview on Wednesday, for an office assistant position at the public health center. It sounds like a great job…state benefits, a mix of previous positions I’ve held (patient registration/reception, finance, and medical billing), full time hours and a good salary. Still, I haven’t worked in 6 months and I feel like it’s been 6 years. I’m nervous, yo!

Alright freaks and geeks, that’s it for now. Hopefully soon I’ll have more material for blogging…there’s just not much to write about when you spend 99% of your time in your house, pretty much doing nothing but making sure mold isn’t growing on the dirty dishes in your kitchen sink or the bathroom toilet isn’t turning black.

Oh, and blog stalking.
