get out of my head!

I've been preoccupied with destrutive thoughts lately so in an attempt to quiet the mind I'll mention some things I've fully intended to muse about and never got around to until now:

-I *adore* the Dr.Pepper commercial with the Meatloaf song. I've always paid attention to commercials for their marketing value and I think that one is hilarious. Some of my other favorites include the flawless editing presentations of Hewlett Packard and I-Pod.

-For the past week or so my appetite for various things has really waned. I've felt queasy after eating nearly every meal (even ones I hungrily devoured) and skipped others due to feeling nauseated, no motivation to do my strength training routine (my primary physically exerting activity was one power yoga class), absolutely zero espresso cravings. It is bizarre. Like I've turned into a pod person.

-Would you rather know you're getting a gift you really want and can help select, or would you rather be surprised with a present you'd never pick for yourself and aren't excited to have? Is it lazier to half-heartedly shop or enlist the help of the recipient?

-Deciding between two color families for a new bedroom paint color. I might also use the 'runner-up' shade in the bathroom so either way I'll end up with new shades I like in both places. Option A is more neutral/conservative/taupe. Option B is a more funky/possibly trendy/pale aqua-turquoise. I'm leaning toward A for the bedroom and B for the bathroom but wondering if that is too quick to choose the 'safe' (i.e., boring?) route.

-Please not another hurricane season where everyone moans like the apocalypse is upon us. The atmosphere is already getting a tad frenzied. I might end up wishing we could go into a state of vigilante justice where I'd be free to shoot errant citizens again.

With that note, I'll sign off before I slide too far down the slippery slope of negativity! :)

Fabdiva - my 2 cents:

1. We totally appreciate the same commercials - the HP ones are so impressive & cute!
2. Personally, I'd rather know I'm getting a gift I really want & can help select. I've gotten a lot of great presents that are hypothetically "so me" but I don't necessarily use it (aka really pretty pattern angora blend socks)!
3. I think the "safe"/boring? route for your wall colors is the way to go...the aqua may be more striking but it will lose it's newness with time. Trust your gut & think in terms of decor details too.

I hope you feel better (emotionally & with your appetite)soon...don't turn into a pod person!
