Am I crazy or what?


I realized (more like remembered) this morning that I am a bit crazy-just a little bit. I have all these trivial "rules" set for myself as I get ready for the day, all enforced in a matter of 20 minutes. The funny thing is...I don't generally follow rules! I don't run red lights or anything, but just look at what I'm doing right now for instance! I'm at work and writing on my blog. Hello?! Clearly I'm not an average rule-follower...at least not other people's rules I guess.

By the time I got ready and out the door this morning I had followed more than a sane (using that term loosely) amount of rules.
1. Only hit snooze once...twice is so not allowed.
2. Don't wear silver jewelry if there is gold anywhere on your shoes...even if it's just a buckle that is semi-covered by your pants.
3. Don't leave blow dryer or any other hair appliance plugged in. On the sink, no problem, on the sink and plugged in, not okay.
4. Put the hangers your clothes came off of in the laundry basket in the closet, not on the bed...especially not shared amongst both locations; like the shirt hanger in the basket and the one from your pants on the bed. No, no no.
5. Don't wear a headband and big earrings, nor glasses and big earrings. Too much!
6. Only wear a bangle when you're not wearing a ring on the same hand. Same reason as rule number 5!
7. Put empty water bottle sitting on the nightstand in the recycling bin in the kitchen, don't let it sit there all day!

Am I crazy or what? The craziest part of it all is that I'm actually a pretty laid-back woman! I'm a fricken "Yellow" and an "ESFP" for goodness sake! References=The Color Code and Myers Briggs personality tests (totally worth checking out sometime! It'll give you insight into your own craziness!)
Imagine if we wrote down all the quirky thoughts (or rules in my case) that went through our heads in a given day. I've shown just a snap shot of my insanity...only 7 rules out in the open, for all to see.
A Czech man I met in Basil, Switzerland said something that I still love quoting 'til this day. "If I wrote down everything I thought, I'd be writing all day long...with both hands!" Amen Tomas. Sounds even better in your broken English.
So fabulous reader, I hope you too take this lovely Thursday to think about how crazy YOU are.
Enjoy.

Playa hatin'...a harsh reality

This seems like an oddly serious post to be writing from the couch, with "My Blue Heaven" on in the background. I don't deny my love for Steve Martin and 80's films. I'm normally serving cocktails at this hour on a Sunday night but I came home a little early on account of a terrible tummy ache! Not sure if it's the flu that's going around or the cajun fries Pepe the cook gave me. Whether those babies were the cause or not...they were nonetheless a bad idea. The other option for this ache could be a case of the nerves, another meaning for "upset stomach" if you will. I'm a little upset over a few things. There are times when things go on around you (which have nothing to do with you-and by "you" I mean me) and somehow they still really get to you, to the bottom of your heart. I'm not sure if there is rhyme or reason to it, but at times that these very things which have nothing to do with your life can get you so, so upse...

Mind Blowing

Just go reheat that coffee for GOODNESS sake! Me reminding myself to try to enjoy life a little. This is a rough time. And I could start a post with those three sentences any Friday of the year, but particularly right now...this is a rough time. The struggle (sometimes TOTAL struggle, depending on the hour and minute) of staying home is of MINOR importance during a time like this, during any time really.  Let's get REAL, for most of us, life is good.  Really good. There are families suffering right now, and not just the elderly members of them. I won't go off on how frustrating it is to hear people lessen the severity of this because it's "just affecting older people." That's 1. Incorrect and 2. Unbelievably disrespectful *If you're lucky enough to have a Grandma or Grandpa still, or anyone in your life that's old enough to be considered "old" be thankful, then CALL them and check in. NOW. The current swing of Social Media o...

Strategerie...

I want to love people (somehow)in all circumstances. I've been thinking lately that's the whole reason we're here. God gave us a place to figure out how to do that, to figure out where the balance is in all scenarios concerning relationships... Where's the balance between loving people and setting boundaries for yourself? Being tactful and being truthful? Thinking of your needs and being selfish? Behavior that's healthy and unhealthy? Friendly and overbearing? Extrovert and introvert? Needing people and using people? Making things happen and waiting for things to happen? Flirting and well, too much flirting? Admiration and Jealousy? Being strategic (strategerie if you will, if a President says it, it must be a word) and conniving? Childlike innocence and adulthood? I don't want to focus on these things and being "balanced" so much so that I'm inhibited all the time, but I do think being aware is essential...purposeful even! Something to chew ...
