Cranial Chaos

So, tomorrow morning at 5:45 am, hubby and I will have been married for 15 years. I am creating a "thing"... a "thing" that is full of awesome... and is also very unlike me, in that it is sappy and romantic-y... I will post pictures when it is done. :)

Emo Boy Drama Queen, are you making cupcakes?

Drama Queen: Muffin cupcakes.

Emo Boy Oh, you mean MuffCakes???

Us: *falls over laughing*

I'm so glad they didn't get that one.

I
Am Chaos
Swirling and whipping
Winds carry me aloft
With joy and sorrow riding
They take me places I dare
And often places I fear to tread
I do not ask for any to follow
For this path is hard and filled with pain
Yet it is one I cannot and will not abandon
It is simply the true nature of my soul
So wait a while, I will soon return
To the seeming calm of solid ground
And we will dance and talk
And share all our secrets
As lovers are wont
To do in
storm's calm
eye

ETA: I know my formula is wrong in the title, but damnit if I can't figure out how to write it going back to zero!

This morning, at 4:30, I haul my tired ass out of bed to go make coffee. I wander downstairs to see the dog has gotten into the trashcan. Damnit. I don't care I want coffee. I fill the coffee pot with water, I turn... and the lovely granite countertops that I adore meet at a very specific angle with the bottom of the carafe, and POP... so I stood there stupid for a few minutes watching the water in the coffee pot gush out of this little tiny triangular hole of the carafe before realizing my feet were getting wet. I still want coffee.

I went shopping today. Many of you know that this is usually a painful experience for me, and many of you know it from first-hand knowledge. I'm hard to shop for because I don't like typical kinds of things... I have a very eclectic taste and an unusual body type...

But today, I totally won.

Ok, so there were lots of stores to find it all, but damn I'm glad I did!

Haul:
one pair of knee-high dark brown boots, one pair of Jack Boots, both insanely cheap.
5 uber sexy sweaters that all show off cleavage while still being modest enough for work
1 crushed velvet flowy half-jacket
2 pair mid-calf dress pants, one black, one brown tweed
5 new skirts, various lengths, various colors

The best score of all??? A mid-calf length black velvet trench coat with fitted body and flared hips... for $8.00!!!! SQUEEEE!!!!!

I will have to post pics at some point in all my spiffy finery.

So, we're fundraising at my school for my advising class. That fundraising is getting the kids to donate money to each teachers "jar" in order to get them to do something. Kinda like a "kiss a pig" thing, except each of us has said what we will be willing to do for $100.

I decided that dying my hair would be easy enough, and presented that idea to my advising.

Apparently, they think I should be a blonde.

Hubby: So, I set my alarm to go get Drama Queen from school today, but I forgot to take it off vibrate.

Me: Ok, that could be bad.

Hubby: Well, I was dreaming, and in my dream someone said there was a "Vertical Vibration" and I woke up, because the phone was vibrating on the nightstand.

Me: *LOL* Well, that certainly puts a new spin on putting my phone in my bra!!

Things to post and write about... no energy to post or write about them.

I can haz sleep now?

This morning I woke up just achy and sore. Everything hurt. Instead of taking something and taking a shower, I decided I would work out. So, I went downstairs and started up the Wii fit. I will admit I didn't do as hard a workout as I have been because of the stiffness, but I did quite a few things. And afterwards... wow... I feel so much better. My body feels stronger, more relaxed, stretched out, and just overall better.

I truly love the wii fit. I have motivation to do it, and I see immediate improvements in my body's reaction to the world.

Not to mention... the weight loss is a great self-esteem boost. Since August, I have lost 25 pounds. I'm not sure if I have a goal in mind, or if I am just making slow improvements to my life and am going to see where I rebalance, but as long as I am feeling better, I don't really care.
