Blurb 1/365: It seems like every year that passes, I have more baseline ailments. Like … sometimes I gotta sit up in bed because of acid reflux and/or nausea. When I was a kid, I could eat two scoops of ice cream and then fall asleep with my head hanging off of the couch. If I tried to do that now, I’d probably have to call in sick for work. HAHAHA. P.S. Tonight’s one of those nausea nights :O( S’ok, I’ll just sit up and turn up The Simpsons :O)

Musical Pipe Dream: It’s 1996 and I’m wearing a parachute track suit, dark lipstick, and I have green bands on my braces. My hair is shoulder length, straightened, and split down the middle. I creep out into the middle of a dance floor with a chameleon step: forward, back, forward, back. Nobody else is dancing and I hear someone yell, “Uhmm, NO!” My eyes widen, my face gets serious, and I nod, YES.

Blurb 1/365: If there is ever a book written about me, it will be entitled “Short and Sleepy”.

Musical Pipe Dream: There’s a band in a restaurant playing this song. I’m wearing a cape and singing. During the music breakdowns, I take somebody’s hat to hold up in the air and alternate kicking each leg with a bit of pep. Security is called. I’m escorted off the premises in style.
