Alyssa's ramblings...

Oh so tired.

I can’t do many things with my hair. These are the styles I can manage – high ponytail, low ponytail, half up half down, and the one where you twist a bit of hair on either side and they meet at the back. But that’s all. My husband says that I should get one of my friends to teach me the art of hair-styling, but…

First of all: How embarrassing!
Secondly: Um, heck no.
Thirdly: I’m not that kind of girl. I’m not a girly-girl. My dress sense is ‘smart casual’, and the ‘casual’ side of it extends to my hair. I just don’t worry about it. Eh, I say. Eh. Ha ha, Eh is a funny word. Is Eh really a word? Oh poo. I just looked it up on www.dictionary.com, and it says:

eh
interj.
1.Used in asking a question or in seeking repetition or confirmation of a statement.
2.Chiefly Canadian. Used to ascertain or reinforce a listener's interest or agreement.

But I didn’t mean it like that! I meant it like “Eh, who cares.” Bah! Is bah a word? Ooooh yes! How exciting!

bah
interj.
Used to express impatient rejection or contempt.

That one worked to my advantage. That’s exactly how I meant it. Praise you, oh dictionary.com!

...(Don’t worry, I’m just delirious from fatigue)...

Speaking of fatigue, I struggled to keep my eyes open this morning on the way to work. Oh yes, I drove. On the highway. It didn’t help that traffic was crawling the whole way… and that I had the bad car (i.e. 1983 Toyota Corona), which doesn’t have air-conditioning, and the window can’t wind down, and it doesn’t have a stereo. So I was just nice and warm, drifting off in silence. But it’s okay, because I made it to work, and more importantly, Gloria Jeans to get a coffee! Ha ha,

Meanwhile, there are brochures in our office about fatigue, and how it’s bad when you’re driving. One of them says ‘You need to judge whether you’re too tired to drive”. I wonder what my boss would say if I called in and said that I’d be a couple of hours late because I’m too tired to drive! Perhaps I’d also draw his attention to the brochure. But I am curious as to what his reaction would be, and if he’d actually let me off the hook. Hmmm… an experiment for another day… :o)

As a Youth leader, I am encouraged to read at least one Christian book (preferably non-fiction) per month. This month, I am going to borrow Jalane’s copy of the book ‘Big Girls Don’t Whine’.

She said that it really helped her in the quest to avoid being ruled by emotions. Here’s a secret: I need that!!! :o) I boldly proclaim, I am ruled by my emotions! Hey, I’m a girl, what can I say? But I’m trying. Therefore, I’m really looking forward to reading this book. It will be good. Very good. Yay!

I’d better go. I’ve finished my large Crème Brule latte, and I’m ready to power on through my work!

Oh, one more thing. I am SO going for a walk at lunch-time. No doubt about it. If I don’t, please hit me. Well, maybe hitting is not possible through the internet, but a slight reprimand would be helpful. Thanks!
