Random Thoughts

Since I became a Super Junior fan some random things have happened in my life.

* I started to make my bed everyday. I'm not sure that the boys make their beds everyday, but I know that Koreans are very clean in general. Usually I make my bed as soon as I get up, except this once: My youngest daughter couldn't sleep so Dude-Man and I let her get in bed with us. Of course she sleeps later than I do so I didn't make the bed right away. The day got going and I didn't get around to making the bed, until.... The cat was throwing up on my bed! I went to grab her to put her outside but she just ran to another part of the bed and started throwing up some more. In desperation, I lunged for her only to miss and the whole throwing up thing started again. Aigoo! by now the poor cat was fairly lethargic so I was able to get close enough to notice she had this huge glob of saliva/mucus dangling from her face. As I was trying to decide the best way to handle the grossness, she leaned over the side of the bed, shook her head, and flung that glob right on to my pillow. Ick!!!
Lesson learned - always make your bed so when gross stuff happens you only have to wash the quilt and not every blasted thing on the bed.

* I discovered that wearing shoes is a good thing. Growing up in a home heavily influenced by Indian culture (my dad was from India), wearing shoes in the house is a big no-no. And in Korea It is the same. But when I would try any dance moves barefoot it was a disaster. But then I decided to try wearing shoes while dancing, like the Super Junior boys do, and now even I can do a few very simple Super Junior dance moves. And no, you cannot watch me and my Super Junior moves. Yet.

* I have lost over 15 pounds! This is without really trying because I'm too busy learning Korean and not drinking pop. Those Super Junior boys are THIN! And yet muscular. It must be all of that dancing, and singing, and acting, and on being on what seems like every Korean variety show, etc. They are too busy to get fat. So now I'm getting busy too. Another side benefit? I'm happier.

* I colored my hair for the first time. It's no secret that most of the Super Junior guys color their hair. Although sometimes the things that are done to their hair are pretty astounding, I usually like it.

Super Junior then-




And now-



After a woman thought I was my sister's MOTHER I knew the time had come. And then when the evil sign man threatened to have me arrested I knew the day had come to color my hair. I wasn't really looking to disguise myself, I just needed a little shot of empowerment. So I colored my normally dark brown, almost black, hair a deep shade of auburn. It covered all the gray (which shimmer nicely) and in the sun it has a nice red glow to it. And no, you can't see it. There are no pictures.

And because no post should be too long, that's all for now.
