On Who I am at the Moment

So it's my 100th post (yippee) and I figured I'd commemorate the day by recognizing exactly what/who I am right now.

(Inspiration for this post here)

I am…

…a very happy girl now that Idol is about to kick into full gear. Enough with the so-so singers and the crazy laughing girl who are only on the show for ratings, I’m ready to hear the real talent awkwardly trudge their way through J. Lo songs and musical numbers. I want the big stage, the increased dosage of Paula’s crack rock and Vicodin combo that produce even more asinine commentary and I want it now. (P.S. I’m a Gokey girl all the way. The boy has some pipes and I can’t help but tear up just a little when I hear him talk about his wife. Sad face. What about you?)

…anxiously anticipating our big move up North. 57 days and counting. Does it make me sound like a nerd if I admit that I can’t wait to start collecting boxes and buying packing tape just so it will all seem more real? Cause I’m totally stoked over it.

…extremely sleep-deprived and irritated. The combination of excessively boisterous neighbors and their addition of a new surround sound with bass that they blast at all hours AND the return of the fleas have left me very restless and itchy the last few nights. Laid down at 10:30 last night to finish Nip/Tuck (so predictable by the way) and after turning the TV off at midnight proceeded to lie awake in the dark until after 3AM. Do you have any idea what kind of panic attack that can cause? Cause I’m fully aware of it. Time to step up the heavy sedation.

…learning how to knit!! I bought myself a teach-yourself-how-to-knit kit yesterday and even though the instructions are circa 1982 and completely useless, at least I have the needles and yarn and stuff now. However, I have found Youtube videos to be pretty useful. If you know of any great sites or videos I should check out feel free to send them my way. I could use all the help I can get.

…researching charities to give my first donation to and really really excited about the prospects. Thinking about World Vision but I’m not sure yet. Any suggestions?

…really slacking on the exercise thing right now. I don’t know what it is, really but I’m thinking maybe a combination of stress, anxiety, and exhaustion. No matter what I say to psyche myself up for it I just can’t seem to get there. I guess it’s just a phase and hopefully it’ll pass but hey, at least I’ve managed to maintain my weight and keep off those 14 pounds I lost already. (For now.)

…so proud of my man. He got his acceptance letter to the school he wants to attend in Charlotte today!!! I knew he could do it. He’s brilliant.

…very happy with my life right now. Although (as mentioned above) it could always be better, I feel like I’m finally taking steps to get things where I want them to be. And, for right now, that’s good enough.

What are you at the moment?
