Bought pencils

I just read an article about how people find recordings of the mundane more interesting than the important, so I am going to make up for the fact that I skipped a few days by writing about mundane things, making this post MOST INTERESTING OF ALL. Here goes: I bought pencils. 48 of them. Hopefully between those and the remnants of the old ones were can get to the end of the year. I bought them while at Target Saturday night, getting Relief Society birthday candy and talking to Diana in the phone. There were these pretty glass water bottles on clearance, but only one design was marked clearance, which of course meant I wanted the other full-price design, but I couldn't justify it, so now we just have to hope I don't break my pretty glass water bottle. I have been in the market for a water bottle for a while, bit I can't ever seem to get one that doesn't leak. This one just proved to be pretty enough for me to get over that concern. I tried to get my nail polish off today, which exposed how crumbly my nails have gotten recently. I don't know if crumbly nails is something that a manicure would help, but I'm too afraid to ever get a manicure unless my nails are perfect. Like people who clean their house before the maid arrives. Kind of related to how I had plucked my eyebrows for years, but Mom would keep mentioning how I shouldn't pluck my eyebrows until she showed me how, so I would try to let them grow out a bit so I could ask and have her "show me how," but having them grown out annoyed me so much I would just pluck them again and start the cycle all over. I just scrolled through my brother's Facebook to see if the girl he likes had liked or commented on anything, to see if I could gauge her interest level (important note: this was not done at the request of anyone other than my curiosity). Turns out, she wished him happy birthday and liked his latest status/funny post, but nothing before that. I think this is better than a few things from long ago and nothing recent, but frankly, he has posted a lot of great stuff that was definitely worthy to be liked. I tried to do laundry today but there was like a three load pileup. Here's hoping there's a pair of clean garments in my drawer. I finally threw out a giant empty chip box and goldfish box and pudding box. I had always been too lazy/would think about it when the weather was gross and I didn't want to go out top the bin, but somehow today, despite the fact it was wetly winter mixing, I found the strength. And now a lot of space on my shelves.
Okay, if that was not mundane, I do not know what is. Since today is supposedly historic, I would be remiss if I did not mention the apparently "worst blizzard in ever" that is hitting New England. A whole bunch of states issued travel bans, which I didn't really know you could do, but which sound like a good idea.
I would also be remiss if I did not mention that it was my brother's birthday and I gave him a Lego set and we went to Outback and on Sunday had a mega birthday dinner with his roommates and my roommates and two girls who bought the dinner at the service auction and another girl in the ward with a January birthday.
