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.

This ship's about to sail

Here in Man Diego there are a lot of...you guessed it, MEN! I've encountered a few. Although I've made some strides in my effort to leave behind "Blanket Statements" (which ironically can be shortened to B.S.) I still hold onto some of the reasonable ones. We've talked before, well I've written and you've read rather, about dating and the inevitable game of text messaging. Thanks to At&T's unlimited plan I haven't gone completely broke yet. Texting is by far the #1 men's choice for communicating. Those fellas just love it. It's less effort than a call and seemingly more friendly than an email. My point is texting is where it's at. You better believe that if you're in your mid 20's anywhere remotely in the vicinity you will be utilizing this technological beast. I went on a date about 2 weeks ago with a "Nice" guy. Note: "Blog guy" existed somewhere in the middle of nice guy's stint. Remember m...

Here's why I shouldn't have a dog

This week I'm babysitting...a dog. Notice I didn't say dog sitting. The first time I watched her she was a puppy, an "untrained" puppy. That means she did her business all over my apartment, for an entire week. The positive reinforcement give-her-a-treat-when-rarely pooping-outside trick was not successful. Since I was teaching a two week Yoga and writing course at the time, with flexible hours, I figured the availability to come home at lunch, take her back to school with me etc would make for an easy week. False. As those of you who've followed my previous dating life have already concluded, I'm not too quick of a learner. And so, I committed to babysitting this dog again. I'm on Summer break, why wouldn't I have a dog with me...all day long? One that is no longer under 20 pounds especially. In the past 24 hours I've decided I should NEVER have a dog because of the following reasons: 1. The noise created by said dog chewing a bone makes me wa...

Which girl are you gonna fluff?

I always envy those sales people who are so enthralled with their product that their enthusiasm nears eerie. After being fitted for my latest bridesmaid dress I was told I would be needing a very, very special bra...one nothing less than what can be purchased at The Perfect Fit in Tustin, California. We went to the shop and the saleswoman was one of these folks who LOVES what she sells. I was so blown away by her passion for undergarments that I didn't even catch her name. For now we'll call her the "Bra enthusiast (BE)." BE took me into the antique decorated fitting room. There was one of those old school, fabric stools, which was used to hold my current (and apparently ghetto) bra and a thick velvet curtain used to hide my shirtlessness. BE was very intense. Her bra-related verbiage was spoken with precision and seriousness. This was a no-nonsense matter. She started by measuring me. I asked if she needed me to take off the bra I was wearing, wanting an accurat...
