Nominate

I was watching a show with my wife last night when I realized that I dressed quite a bit like the dorky guy in the show. I pointed this out to Jennifer and instead of reassuring me about my style choices she whole heartedly agreed. Unfortunately most of my style sense was formed by a private school dress code. Jennifer has tried, and succeeded to some extent, to change the way I dress, but I suspect I need radical help. There is a show called What not to Wear, I have never actually seen it, but apparently they do style makeovers on people. To get on the show you need to be secretly nominated by someone. So why don't you click on the link and nominate me (but you cannot tell me you did so), because I may have already nominated you.
In fact I think it would be funny to nominate various people for different reality shows. Who wouldn't want to see Joel and Leslie on Wife Swap or Mike on Survivor?

FYI: I am not really all that worried about how I dress. I think I look fine most of the time, although I will admit to the occasional fashion faux pas. For instance a few weeks ago I tried wearing hats. I wore one to the office and when I left work two hours later with Jennifer to go to Tessa's kindergarten graduation I was informed the hat had to go. I haven't worn it since.

What not to Wear

Anybody have a bowling ball I could borrow?

Owls v. Crazy People

Okay, apparantly I am supposed to call "morning people" larks not crazy. Whatever. I am not morning person, I have never been a morning person, I don't particularly wish to be a morning person. At various times in my life I have been an early riser for work, school or kids, but it is not what I really like to do. Every few months there seems to be articles on how to "become" a morning person in some major publication or website. The thing is, it is not really that hard to be functional in the morning. You just go to bed earlier and get up earlier. You might have a tough time for the first few days, but most people adjust fairly readily to a new schedule. (I know some people try to speed up the transition with sleeping pills, but if you give me an OTC sleeping pill I will still be groggy three days later.) Getting up early on a regular basis doesn't make you a morning person, you are also not a morning person if you attach a caffeine drip to yourself first thing in the morning-you are a junkie with a stimulant habit-or possibly you just like coffee, springing out of bed happy, perky and productive makes you a morning person. My mom is a morning person, my grandma is not, I am not, I fear that at least 2 of my 3 kids are. What does this mean? Well when your kids jump out of bed happy, wriggly and ready for the day it is not really fair to them to greet them with sullen functionality. So I guess I have to make the effort to try to become an actual morning person. Bummer.
