The Crazies

Maybe it's the impending holidays that has me all out of whack, but I have been kind of going crazy lately.

First, this weekend, I discovered the joy of jumping on the bed. Not THAT kind of jumping, the 7 year-old wired on sugar kind of jumping. I don't know why people don't do that more often.

Second, since my antique 13" TV that I keep in my bedroom decided to finally bite the dust after years of random fuzziness, I have been seriously contemplating the purchase of a 50" plasma TV. Not because I need it - but because my house was made for one. If you know me, then you know I'm pretty frugal. I haven't even gotten completely comfortable with the idea of purchasing a real bed yet, and I had a box for a nightstand up until 2 weeks ago. When I casually mentioned this crazy idea to my dad, he said, "If you get one, I'll get one." Really? If that's what the voice of reason says, I just might be blowing a couple thousand dollars in a few weeks.

Third, I've been talking to complete strangers. Even at work, I've had bizarre moments like randomly stopping the Director of Strategic Planning at the elevators and joking around with him about golf. After that social exchange, I was like, "Where the hell did that come from? Since when did you become Suzy Social who talks to executives you never even say hi to?"

I can't remember the last time I had a mood swing, and now, I can't even remember the last time I was hungry. I've been eating, but since I'm not hungry, I forget to eat at the normal times. That's weird right? I feel like I should be concerned that I've been so calm. If this were a movie, I would be locking myself in a cage at night... fearing that I may be turning into a flesh-eating zombie at sunset.
