Obsession

In my years to date, I've learned that obsessive thoughts are rarely (perhaps never) interesting to anyone other than their thinker. This holds true across a wide variety of topics, including but not limited to:
-whether you look fat
-whether the boy X who sits beside you in class likes you (usually, no)
-whether it's a good idea to cyberstalk boy X (again, usually, no)
-whether boy X thinks you look fat
-whether you will get into Y school (and it's corollary, whether you will make law review)
-whether you want to marry your boyfriend
-whether your boyfriend wants to marry you
-whether you will land Z job
-whether your offer on that apartment will be accepted
-whether the seller will back out before she signs the contract
-whether you will pass the board
-whether your bathroom will be done before you move in so you don't have to live without a toilet
-whether you will be able to get pregnant
-whether you will have your baby soon
-whether you will ever experience a full night's sleep again
-whether you should go back to work
-whether your husband's company will go bankrupt
-whether your husband will lose his job
-etc.

Having obsessed over all the topics above, and many more, I speak from experience when I say that no one, including my future self, finds ramblings on these topics interesting. Not even a little bit interesting. And since my current thoughts are consumed by another list of whethers - whether we will be in contract on our apartment soon, whether the contract will close, whether we will be homeless as of November 2 - I have decided to spare you all.

In the meantime, enjoy this first preview into our family photo session from Saturday, courtesy of the very talented Kathryn.

The Reports of My Death Are Greatly Exaggerated


We will be back with new posts soon. Or in a week. Or maybe two weeks. Well, you get the idea.
