Orange is the color of my energy

So I am sitting here at the kitchen table watching my husband make homemade popcorn (shocker, you never find Josh in the kitchen unless he is getting a beer for himself), a beer sitting next to the computer, and both the dogs passed out on the floor below me. I am thinking to myself, " I have a pretty good life right now."

Most people who meet me for the first time are completely stunned by the amount of energy I have, and how positive my energy is. You would think one would be tired by the end of the day- I am the complete opposite. I will go 1000 mph until everything on my list of things-to-do is accomplished by the end of the day (and then I will crash and burn). Most days Josh cannot keep up with me, and is tired just listening to how fast I talk.

I honestly think my parents were in denial when I was a child- thinking that I was perfect and had nothing wrong with me. But the older I get, the more energy I get (usually when people get older, they get fatter and lazy). Sometimes I feel like I have A.D.D. (in the best way possible). You will rarely find me sitting around doing nothing- I feel like I am wasting my life if I am sitting around watching the time pass.

Here is a brief example of a small portion of my day- which is usually quite normal for me. Just last Saturday morning, our beautiful Mollie pup decided that it would be great to wake me up at 5:30am by kissing my face until I started petting her. I would then slowly STOP petting her thinking she would roll over and let me sleep some more, but then she would nudge at me, and lick me until  I would resume the pets. I finally got up with her, while I was a great wife and let Josh sleep in. And of course, when Mollie is up, Ryder is up, so I said fuck it, and took them both on a 3 mile run. After our run, I fed the dogs, did three loads of laundry, ran the dish washer, baked some homemade banana chocolate chip bread, made a pot of coffee, cleaned the whole house, and washed the floors. And let me remind you, this all took place while my husband and brother were sleeping, and all happened BEFORE 9am! You can tell me I'm on crack, but I'm not, I haven't even done illegal drugs before! I am just THAT awesome. I am going to make a great mom someday, my goal is to always have more energy than my kids! If I can accomplish that, I will have it made!

Orange is my color. My energy feeds off of my bright personality. You will rarely see me in plain colors. I am bright-orange is bright. I am bold- orange is bold. Orange is positive energy- I am full of positive energy. Orange defines me and what I stand for. I am a bold woman who doesn't take life lightly. People who meet me get energy from me- what can I say, I like to share!

I guess that is enough for my first time blogging. Grey's Anatomy is on tonight, and my husband just finished the popcorn! Hope you enjoyed!
