National Chocolate Day and Snow!

Yesterday was an interesting day. It snowed all day for the first time. It was not a small amount either. There was such a vast amount that everything had a layer of snow that coated it. It was stunning. I have only seen snow twice. Once when I was seven and my family was vacationing in the mountains. However at the time I was not allowed to go outside and touch it. Then again a couple of years it had snowed at 5:00am and melted by 7:00am. This snow day was indeed constant.

Let me say that I in general act as though I am at the age of thirty-five. Yet when I saw the vast amount of snow yesterday I felt like a child. I had a snow ball fight, wrote my name, and kicked through it with each step. I began sliding in the snow as well. It looked quite similar to Tom Cruise in risky business; Except for the fact that I was buddle up, wearing pants, and wearing my black boots. I was sliding so much that my feet finally slid a little too much causing me to fall down. Yes it hurt but it was hilarious I turned over and laughed up to my brother. At first his expression seemed to be one of shock then his expression softened as he began to laugh with me. I turned over again and figured since I was lying on the ground I might as well make a snow angel. It was truly a great day.

I found a new program to assist me with the song I am creating. I have not actually tried it yet, but I have read excellent reviews. In addition I read plenty of information about it and sound as though it might be helpful. However I could always be wrong. I hope that it will be helpful though.

The past couple of years I was beginning to think the rebellious streak in me had died. However, I found that not to be accurate. If I knew that my employers would not mind it. I would dye the shade (it is underneath the top layer of my hair) in my hair. I would not dye it just any color it would be Fifth Element red! (Yes I am very fond of the color red!) I think that one day I WILL dye it that color! It is simply a matter of time. Moreover I realized I am not a fan of authority. For some reason when I am being ordered around I am not fond of it. In addition I hate being asked questions that have already presented itself an answer. For example having your boss ask you what each shelf in your office contains when each shelf is LABLED! IRRITATING! You have eyes! Look and you will find the answer to your ridiculous question!

Aside from that… I intensified my workouts this week. Why? Well I found myself wanting to eat more. I would not want to eat just anything; it was sweets I was craving. The number one engulfing treat was CHOCOLATE! I found myself craving it uncontrollably. For breakfast I have been eating chocolate muffins and chocolate pop-tarts. That is normally my fix for the day. Though I cannot help but to constantly want it throughout the day. I try to ignore the cravings. Not much success so far; hence I have been intensifying my workout. Also today is Valentine’s Day. For me it is National Chocolate Day, everyone I know always gives me chocolate. Which I think is absolutely fantastic! Someone has already given me an entire box of my favorite chocolates! My… my… do I love National Chocolate Day! Though there is one issue that is coming between my usual celebration and me, it’s my diet!

Moreover on the subject of Valentine’s Day… My family members, coworkers, and acquaintances forever seem to ask me around this time of year if I have a boyfriend to spend Valentine’s Day with. I know none of those people will read this, but still I would like to say it. The answer is NO! It has been that answer for the past few years! It will be that answer for the next several years! Therefore STOP ASKING! Why is it my sole purpose in life to find a mate? I have thoughts, ideas, creativity, goals, and dreams! I have no time to spend on silly boys! Who will become my personal 24-hour critic! Let me say this: NO, NOPE, NAY, NEIN!

Do Not Touch!

Finally I have a medley for my song. It has a slow tempo and is quite good. In addition I have the lyrics written and they too are good. However I cannot fathom how to sing the lyrics with the medley. I have listened to many songs with a slow tempo. Most singers do not sing with the medley rather they sing quite differently. Yet it works well as an overall song. I wish there was a class I could take or a book I could read that unlocks some secret to how sing your own song.

Moving on… I would like one day to be fluent in seven different languages: French, Spanish, German, Korean, Greek, Japanese, and Latin. Technically if I knew all those languages I would actually know eight languages fluently. Hence English is my first language. I know most of you are wondering why I would want to learn these languages. One day I would like to travel to many different countries. Knowing these languages would make my visits to these countries easier. I want to learn Latin so that Antoinette and I could speak in Latin frequently. We can speak in Latin especially when we do not want others to know what we are talking about.

Onto another subject I had my body measured again this week. I held my breath the entire time. I had not been that committed to working out this past week. I was certain that I had gained weight. Fortunately I lost another 3 pounds! I was so excited that I hugged Antoinette!

That leads to another subject… I am very uncomfortable with touch. For instance I have known Antoinette for about 2 or 3 years now. I think it was only a couple months ago I hugged her for the first time. Why? Well I have forever been this way. It feels odd every time I express myself through touch. However once I have been friends with someone for an extensive time I will be more comfortable with it. However I only express emotions through touch sparingly even when I am comfortable. I know what most of you are thinking. How well did this go over with boyfriends? Every time they would try to hold my hand or hug me I would shy away. Yes they have all been persistent; which is normally the cue for me to end the relationship. Recently a coworker of mine asked me to sit in her lap. The word NO screamed in my subconscious. I knew at that moment my coworker had known what I was thinking. I did try to hide the answer from showing on my face. However I tried to hide it after it had briefly showed itself. I knew my face had shown the horrified expression when her smile faded. Seeing this made me feel a twinge of guilt. I told her “Umm… okay”. I did so for a brief second but I felt dreadfully awkward. I am very delighted she has not asked me to since. I do notice that she is encouraging me to be more susceptible to touch.

Aside from that…I will be moving soon. I am very Ecstatic about it. We just recently finished painting my bedroom (there are touch ups that are still needed, but mostly it is done).We painted it red. Apparently to paint your bedroom red is a huge No-No. Upon telling my mother about it she immediately made a disgusting face and replied, “RED for a bedroom?” I replied, “RED!” What is the issue? I for one like the color red. It is my second favorite color. Whenever I wear the color I feel bright, energetic, bold, and confident. My mother says the color will make me depressed. I highly doubt it. I think the color will make me feel fiery, determined, and ready to take on the world. This will make it an excellent color to wake up to every morning. Yet again, I ask what is terribly wrong with painting your bedroom red?
