Ever have those days where you are irrationally annoyed at the world? No? Never? Well, I have them all the time. Where the stupidest thing sets off my Harvey temper and I fly off the handle for no apparent reason. And then it dies back down and then it flies back up if provoked. Its really the most ridiculous thing you've ever heard of. I mean, this ear pain thing is completely and totally killing me. I cannot function properly. I'm out of coffee and that is just completely depressing me. My body aches. I'm feeling more and more crappy as the days go by. CALGON!!!!!!!! No really...did anyone get that reference? Oh wait. bwhahahahahaha no one is reading this blog. Its just for me, so whatever the hell I say doesn't matter!! Yes! victory. Okay, since this is just for me. Kristi, when you come back and read this later, you need to remember a few things.
1. You LOVE Inside the Actor's Studio. Just go watch a few episodes on Youtube and I promise it will make you feel better. regardless of what else is going on, its such an interesting show with lots of insight. Better yet, watch this one. Jim Carrey's impersonation of Andy Kaufman doing Elvis is ...well it gives you goosebumps. There's nothing quite like ITAS. I don't know why you can sit and watch episode after episode but its just...enjoyable and fascinating and whole slew of other adjectives that you can't come up with right now because of the pain in your ear. Moving on...
2. You LOVE PTX (aka Pentatonix). They shot straight to your heart of the gate from NBC's the Sing-off and you follow these kids on their journey because they truly are an amazing bunch. Here let me remind you in case you've forgotten. This performance is amazing. The truth is not only are they talented, they are currently ( January 10th 2012) humble and grateful and just all-around good people. I think they appreciate what they've earned and will continue to be a great group to follow. I'm happy to be a PTX fan and love what they do with every song they touch. A Capella is an art-form that would be so wonderful to have a little bit of back in the mainstream. I say HELLZ YEAH PTX Keep up the great work!! I'm looking forward to 2012 and their album.
3. If you've discovered that you are, in fact Gluten intolerant, I'm so very sorry and we'll get through it, one way or the other. Because we were considering it these last couple days and all we could think about was bread. Seriously, we have issues. Anyhow, if we aren't Gluten intolerant, AWESOME more bread and pasta please. However, we've committed ourselves to this endeavor of becoming a better us and by God, we're going to stick with it. And p.s. I just realized that the tenses in this post are ALL sorts of messed up. Oh well, if you are the random person from Russia reading this post, I apologize for the improper use of the English language, and if you're a random American reading this...um...where did you come from?

4. Another thing...just want to remind you that you love this kid. Regardless of the fact that he is giving you silver ( not gray just want to clarify) hair, he pushes your buttons and sometimes makes you want to kill him. In truth Wyatt is your salvation. The one redeeming quality that you have left. He's the best and worst of both you and Dan. Someday he will save the world. Or perhaps just enhance it, but either way he was meant to be and so he is. Hopefully, he will turn out to be the man we hope he'll be. 
5. Whether we know it, or admit or talk about it or any other sort of medium, You are a lucky girl. It sucks because its always a struggle and its always frustrating, but in reality we have SOOO much to be appreciative of in our lives. So much more than other people. Obviously, we have less than most as well, but seriously? You're doing it. Just keep telling yourself that every day. (sigh) even if it does make you feel like a poser.
6. This is OUR year!! Three ohhhhhhh is around that corner. 336 days m'friend. You will change your life and we aren't going to let fear or doubt get in the way this time. Its going to be different because there isn't any turning back. There ISNT another option for us. Its time to change what we think, what we KNOW and how we feel about it. Your body isn't supposed to be almost 100lbs overweight. You are NOT supposed to feel miserable every fucking day. You just have to start telling yourself this stuff every single day and take it ONE DAY AT A TIME. We can't do it any other way or we'll just set ourselves up to fail. Its time.

p.s. Today is Zeke's birthday. He's 30 and of course, in typical Zeke fashion, he is taking it like a champ. Then again, if my life was where his is, I'd totally feel the same way. In any case, happy 30th to my annoying, loveable, frustrating, funny Brother-in-law Ezekiel A Morris.


Happy Tuesday and Lots of Love,
Kristi
