Wha-Wild and Crazy Kids

So, underneath my lathargic exterior, I'm feelin' a little wild...and a little crazy. I think I'm going to take the plunge and get my hair highlighted again. One person's monthly maintenance is another's living on the wild side. Only this time it won't be so boring. I'm not going for blue or anything but something with a little pizzaz. Did I just use the word pizzaz? Oh, I most definately did. The tentative New Years plans involve Fort Worth, live bands, pizzaz hair and old friends...together a recipe for a great count down. I think, perhaps, I've had one-too-many airborn tablets...

I can't seem to find the quiet inside my mind

Christmas is over and I get on my returning flight to Dallas in a few hours. This vacation made me appreciate quiet time. Silence truly is golden. My family members talk...a lot and loudly. It was an interesting vacation but I am definately ready to get back and organize my life to the sounds of silence. I just wish I had one more day off to just kind of breathe. I'm so exhausted I lost my gusto for new years. I think I'm going to hibernate for the next few days and hopefully I can emerge renewed, recouped and ready to ring in the new year.

I'll be home for Christmas

I'm dreaming of a ... humid, steamy Christmas. That's right, I'm spending Christmas in la Florida with the fam. Am I excited? I should be. I mean, it's Miami...south beach, tropical weather, cubans and puerto ricans all around :) When I lived in TN and we used to visit for the holidays I felt like I wouldn't feel complete until the orange clay fazed out and I saw those palm tress lining the highways. I've always imagined myself living there again, but now the image has sort of faded. I am sort of excited. I get to see my relatives and I believe there's a Disney trip in the works. I sort of have an unhealthy obsession with Disney. Strangely, it kind of feels like home. Weird how a theme park feels like home. Hey, it is the happiest place on earth, right? Maybe if I think of the worst possible scenario...it will be awesome. I've always believed in that sort of twisted logic. Anyway, I'm going to just take a deep breath, dream away the 3-hour plane ride to the sounds of a carfully-selected playlist on my ipod, slap a smile on my face, and enjoy my tropical holiday. And then, it's back to Tejas to plan the new years extravaganza. Get excited. Florida--you might just turn into something I like.
