It's a little bit funny

It's been one of those weeks where all kinds of strange things have happened.

My awkwardness usually manages to get the best of me.  For instance, earlier this week I accidentally dropped my retainer in the toilet.  Awesome.  If it had been anything else, such as a toothbrush, I would have just counted it as a loss, but because I hate making new retainers, I fished it out.  However, when it came down to it, I just couldn't put it in my mouth (despite all the Clorox I had soaked it in).  Wouldn't want to be a toilet mouth!

Last night a friend of mine and I decided to be crafty and create our own scented candles!  Yeah, never done that before, so it was a little bit of an experiment.  Knowing me, I choose bright orange wax, and sandalwood scented oil for my candle.  Being cheap, we used a pot of boiling water then put the wax in a Ziplock to melt it.  Too bad the bag broke, and all of a sudden I found myself in possession of a pot of hot water and bright orange melted wax.  Solution: dump contents on snow!  Haha, good thing it snowed last week.  Now I have a pile of orange "snow" in front of my porch.  I'm intrigued to see what it looks like when the snow melts.

This morning I took advantage of the "early start" I had, and did a little shopping.  Funny thing, since Valentine's is next Tuesday, all the stores are pushing crap like flowers and chocolate.  Costco was an absolute zoo, and I found myself questioning my motives of entering that place on a Saturday morning.  Next stop was Whole Foods for my coveted Izzes.  Yum.  Whole Foods is home to all kinds of organic crap that apparently some people just can't live without.  (...sigh, fine, include my izzes.)  However, they were giving away free samples of chocolate dipped strawberries.  Thank you St. Valentine's and snobby organic grocery stores!

Things were fairly uneventful on my drive home until I got behind a truck stacked with about three couches.  They were a couple of car lengths ahead of me when I noticed something starting to blow out of the back.  I hastily moved to the other lane to avoid a collision when a couch flew out of the back of said truck, and landed in the lane I had just switched to!  It caused quite the traffic jam, and I honestly don't know how I escaped bashing into the car in front of me.  I was completely unharmed, albeit a little shook up, possibly explaining why I dropped my fountain drink when I got home.  The outside of my car is now coated in Diet Coke flavored ice in case you were wondering...

Finally, I started having an identity crisis subsequent to the hair color switch.  You know when you dye your hair brown, then you start having nightmares that your hair really is brown and not blonde like you remember it?  No, just me?  Haha, I probably should work on that.  Yeah, it's a little awkward when you realize you can't remember you real hair color.

Now I find myself sprawled on my living room floor, basking in the sunlight, unwilling to move because I'm actually warm.  (It has been absolutely freezing for the past couple of days.  Like low of 0, high of 15 freezing.)  Anyway, hope you've enjoyed my little rant.  Now on to more productive activities!
