You can dance if you want to

1/3/11  – I am typing my blog from my new hot pink laptop lap desk.  It is awesome!  I think I have mentioned that Shea Days have started.  Anna, my former coworker who lives close to me, brings a gift by my house each day.  These are just little things that have been left on my desk since I went home before the surgery.  It’s really fun.  I get a present a day – and Todd wonders why I’m spoiled!  So, today’s gift was from the logistics department.  I thought it was hilarious that logistics gave me a laptop desk!  How perfect is that?  I guess that is why they are so successful – gold star.  They sent me lots of goodies that will help make me more comfortable.  The gift came with an inventory listing and all.  It made me smile.

So, now that I am prepared to write, let’s get on with it!  Yesterday was a little bit too much for me.  We went to church, shopping, and then went by some friends’ house.  I had a great time and ate some yummy food, but by the time I got home I was feeling a little stiff.  I haven’t felt stiff for about a week.  Note to self: do not over do it.  Today has been much more chill.

I have been stuck on Tabatha’s Salon Takeover today.  I think Bravo is preparing me to reach my full potential as an individual.  I can now walk into a salon and know if it functions properly. Watch out! Hahaha…  I think tomorrow’s all day show is The Millionaire Matchmaker.  Tomorrow I will be prepared to make a good love match.  All my single friends should be warned. 

This morning I was sorting through my cards trying to get everything into one place (obviously I’m watching Tabatha’s Salon Takeover while I’m doing this).  As I’m sorting the phone rings.  The phone is in the living room so I have to walk all the way into the other room to answer it.  When I reach the phone Todd says “Why are you breathing so hard? You’re not over doing it are you?”  Sorry.  I promise I wasn’t running around the house.  I move slower and things tire me more.  I find it funny that he is the one questioning me when he is the reason I am huffing and puffing because I had to go get the phone.

My Harry Potter marathon continued today with the Goblet of Fire.  I decided to do my nails during the movie.  I must be really popular today because my home phone and cell rang at least 5 times.  *** I love all of you that called. *** I was beginning to wonder if Todd had people checking on me since I’m home alone now.  Like I mentioned I painted my nails.  My toes are still the awesome “Dorothy Who?” blue sparkly color from when Bekah did them in the hospital but my fingers needed some flair.  I decided clear and pink were too boring.  I contemplated putting the blue on my fingers, but decided that it was a color best reserved for toes.  I chose “Grape Juice”.  One guess what the color is.  It is a sparkly purple.  So now my nails are sparkly purple and my toe nails are sparkly blue.  All I need is a few silly bands and I will be ready for 6^th grade.  I think the 6^th graders have got it right, fun nails make you feel fun inside too!

I keep seeing commercials for Kinect for Xbox360.  I think the Dance Central game could be a good way for me to workout but not hurt myself.  I’m afraid to mention it to Todd because he would jump at any reason to purchase a PS3 or Xbox.  Plus, we have to remember the most important part – I CAN’T dance.  I am a white girl through and through.  Any of you who have seen me sing in the choir you will notice that I will sing and I will clap, but I will never sing AND clap at the same time.  It’s kind of like how it’s physically impossible to keep your eyes open when you sneeze.  It is physically impossible for me to sing and clap simultaneously.  Sad, right?  What makes it even sadder is that I want to sing and clap and I want to dance.  I think the Xbox game might help me.  Am I delusional?  I’ve been off the Percocet for over a full week, promise! I did tell Todd that I want to take salsa lessons whenever I’m able.  I’m not sure if he thought I was joking because I told him I wanted to take piano lessons too.  Apparently I want to do everything!  I am a diva, ya know.

I am having a cheese burger again today!  I may have a cheese burger 5 days in a row now that I can eat them.  I heart cheese burgers.  Yum!  My song of the day is Last Resort by Papa Roach.  I’m not sure why but the first few lyrics keep running through my head “cut my life into pieces, this is my last resort”.  I promise, mentally I am ok.  I just like that song.  No underlying message here. = )

Bye y’all!
