So since is is dark most of the day here in AK, I have noticed my nap ratio increase. I must not succumb to the urge to nap! It makes for a very unproductive day. I really need to be going through my belongings and getting rid of the things I don't use all the time. The napping relates to the getting rid of stuff as I have lots of clothes that fit me before I came to Alaska. I am sure napping instead of working out contributed to the Alaska weight gain. So I really need to limit myself to one power nap a day.

Even when I was married I would surf dating websites, not to date, but to satisfy some weird anthropological curiosity. There was a time at the end of college when I did date some people from yahoo personals. The cliche of meeting some one who only has a head shot to find out they are about 300 lbs more than you expected is so true. And then there is the guy who tries to get all over you in the first date and then gets angry when you are like "back off!" And if you are reading this because we are still friends from YP then know I am not talking about you. The point of all this is that I recently put up a pseudo profile on another site so I could search other people's profiles. And I noticed that all the men say they are "willing to start a new family and have more children." As someone who is not willing to do so, I wonder if all men really feel this way, or if they say this because they are afraid no women will date them if they do not want children.

So I'm into Iron and Wine; the band that is. Turns out it is just one guy with back up musicians, so can I really call it a band? Well anyways, I found out they/he will be at The Ann Arbour Folk Festival on Jan 29th. Tickets are about $50 for one day and I am totally there except for the $50 thing as I am cheap (yet I just bought some ridiculously expensive running shoes today). As Iron and Wine is awesome, I am tentatively putting this on the roadtrip schedule. Any blogger readers out there that are interested, message me on FB or leave a comment. Here's the rest of the line up.
