This morning as I sit in my computer chair with a diet coke and an extremely warm bowl of oatmeal topped with brown sugar and fake maple syrup, I remind myself that I get into these funks sometimes. My stress level goes up and up and up until I can't contain it anymore and then I retreat into myself. Lately, the culprit has been school and the escape has been an unhealthy dose of Stargate SG1 and World of Warcraft.

A few months back there was a huge sale on Stargate SG1 thinpaks. I had already owned seasons 5-9, and with a bit of arguing with myself, I went ahead and purchased season 1-4 and 10 for half off. Aaron has not been thanking me for this recently. I went through seasons 1-4 in the past week and a half. I wake up and watch an episode, I change diapers and come back to an episode, I read textbooks for school and work on homework while watching an episode, I actually fall asleep while watching an episode. I've been having insomnia lately.

Even worse - my new guilty pleasure is playing World of Warcraft (I've been playing for over three years now) while watching Stargate SG1. I know what you are thinking. Does she have no life?

Well, see, that's the whole purpose of retreating into myself. I do have no life at that point. And then after awhile I wake up from my self-induced coma of escapism and I become productive again.

At least, so we hope. So, today I am going to do a crapton of schoolwork and go through the pictures from the honeymoon and give you an update. Right now, in fact. I just had to get this out of my system first.
