I am feeling strangely elated today. I don't quite trust it because nothing is really new today, so it must be hormonal or something. I don't trust happiness I can't control...but I do appreciate it. (Thank you, body, for making me hormonally happy today instead of hormonally depressed!)

Well maybe I am happy because I am wearing french braid pigtails today, and it is fun! And because last night, Aaron asked me if I wanted to keep my fortune cookie fortune that somehow ended up in his wallet, and I said no. But today, I found it slipped into the zipper pouch on my keys, and it felt like such a hopeful message:
"There is nothing lost or wasted in this life."

My to-do list is ridiculous today: schedule a dr's appt so I can keep getting my bc supply, call my alt cert program to see if they count for the lifetime learning tax credit (yes, I do things at the last minute), write out lesson plans for this week to turn into admin, that I will barely follow (because things change everyday! How am I supposed to plan for the whole week?!), and plan a TAKS review to do on Wednesday for the 9-11 graders.

Even that list can't bring me down today though, because hormones are invincible. They'll go away when they feel like going away, and they do not feel like going away right now. I know, because I am so wired right now.

On a different note, I have been coveting this past week.
("How do we covet, Clarice? Do we seek out things to covet? No! We covet what we see every day." -Hannibal Lecter)
And I surf purse forum everyday, and thus I covet. Many, many things. Which is dangerous, because if you give a lunatic a salary, there is no end to the damage they can do. HAHAHAHahahahaha

I spent 2 hours last night (pretty much all my free time) painting my nails mint green. It looks...interesting with my brown skin, but what's bothering me most is the fact that they just don't look professional! Why!!! Stupid nail polish on stupid cuticles.

I'm going to take it all off and do it again tonight. Oh, and next time I'm going to try leopard print nails. I wish I could dye Aaron's hair leopard print (with celery stix and hair dye) but unfortunately, it would not be work appropriate.
I actually don't even like animal print mostly but leopard print hair/nails just seems so interesting.

I wonder what it's like not to be a perfectionist. Actually I am far from a perfectionist about most things, but I definitely am about my nails. I spoiled myself going to get a manicure w/ my sister over spring break and now I want my nails perfect all the time. Too bad, cause I am totally unwilling to pay that much again for a temporary procedure. So I have been collecting tools to be able to do my nails at home.

This post is so inane...3 paragraphs about nail polish.
