Am I normal?


I love this! I feel crazy most of the time. Like I live in a world all of my own, and I of course am the only one who is right and knows anything. I am the mayor of crazy town. I have felt this way for the last 30 years, I am pretty sure the first two years I wasn't crazy. I think all the time to myself, is this normal? Is the way I think normal, is the way I feel normal, is this relationship normal, is this freindship normal, is normal to be this emotional? Why can't everyone else be normal like me! I have this love hate internal struggle with myself most days. I have started a challenge. One I can't quite talk about yet, but I promise to let you know how it goes. I am on day two and have already wanted to quit. Is that normal? HA! What I will tell you you thus far, is yesterday when I started my challenge I got a lot more done at work and no my challenge is not less facebook or internet. Hmmmmm. I have a feeling that at the end of my challenge my life will be forever changed and there will be people I have added and people I have removed.
I registered Lexie for 1st grade yesterday and I cried as we walked down the 1st grade hallway. I cried to myself so Lexie would know it was ok to be excited while Mommy secretly was thinking of ways for her to be 6 forever. She will be 7 in 6 short weeks. How is she 7 already? I don't remember the last 6 years with her. Is that normal? The exciting news was we got to go school supply shopping for the first time. Unfortunately there are all of these rules about plain notebooks, plain binders and plain folders. No Barbie and the Rockers, no JEM, no trapper keepers, no smelly erasers and no Lisa Frank.
Kevin will be gone all of next week on business. Lexie will be gone part of the week visiting family. Although I will miss them both, I will be organizing, cleaning and scrapbooking and I am so looking forward to this time alone. Is that normal?

Imposters

Why do all of my favorite things get discontinued? It stated way back when in 1990 something when Victoria's Secret decided to discontinue my bra. Oh yes they did, the miracle bra went bye bye. What was so great about that bra was that it was a push up with removable pads and adjustable straps. Yes I'm serious. It was horrible, I had to find a new bra and it wasn't nearly as awesome. I think VS was sued for the word "miracle" in their bra and that is why they were discontinued. I also wore that line of suits which no longer existed. A few years ago the bra came back! Really VS, what was the point of discontinuing your most popular bra other than to torment your customers? The new one is not the same and not nearly as good and I refuse to use the imposter.

Yesterday I was at the grocery store and I look over by the orange section and there are the little clemetines in blue wrapping. I went full speed ahead thinking that the CUTIES HAD ARRIVED!! Nope just an imposter clementine. I did purchase the bag however they are not the same.


I recently found out that my favorite eyeliner has been discontinued. Bad news for me since I barely know how to put makeup on and had to use crayon size eyeliner that was really a thick eyeshadow pencil. No replacement as of yet but I'll keep you posted.

It is hard when we are used to certain things, or a certain way or a certain anything. I am awful with change, and a tad bit OCD about things. Why do we become so attached to small things, and yet the big things in our life we may not appreciate as we should?

I am scrapbooking Friday and I can't wait!

Kitty is a very BAD Mystic



MOUSE MOUSE MOUSE!!!!
Best Video Ever. Kevin and I LOVE this cat. I think Kevin loves it a little too much. We are getting a mystic cat of our own. It is a lilac pointed wedge siamese. And guess what we are naming her? MYSTIC!!! Creative I know. We hope to have her by September. I think Kevin and I could be the crazy cat couple. Seriously.

It's the little things........

If you thought this was going to be a post about appreciating the little things, boy you were wrong. It's about how little things really irritate me. Did you know that the clementine cuties are out of season? What is that about? It is the only fruit I truly enjoy, and no the orange does not taste the same. They are small, seedless and full of fun. Who knew a fruit could bring so much pleasure.

I miss them so. Rumor has it I won't eat one again until winter.

It is so hot out. I love hot so long as I have a pool or some sort of pool version near me. Hot and sticky, no thank you.

I cannot believe we are in July. It feels like summer just started. I am looking forward to school supply shopping for Lexie this year. I love school supplies, I really wish the list was out now so we could go.

I guess if little things like cuties and school supplies irritate me, then it is the little things that make me happy.
