waking up

Waking up for me is always a feat. Pulling myself out of my literal cocoon (because at night apparently I roll myself up in my 17 hundred blankets) is approached slowly and calmly. Walking to make a gigantic pot of some very strong coffee this morning I realized that I woke up with a song stuck in my head... the Cheers theme song! This is a frequent happening for me. One that I can remember really well is when my mom came to visit about 1 year ago:

I was sleeping at my house on the couch. It was like 11 or 12 in the afternoon and I went stumbling through my kitchen. Only to find my mother and her boy friend drinking their vanilla chi teas and looking at me very strangely, sarcastic smiles upon their faces. They were indeed smiling like this because of my appearance at that particular wonderful moment in time. I do assume that my hair was probably half in and half out of an elastic, my eyes just barely cracked open, one of them may have even been still closed. And a gentle loving grunt coming from my voice box as I walked by them and my mother said "good morning baby!" You have to understand, I am completely non verbal prior to having coffee in my system when I awake and do not want to have any interaction with the human variety or otherwise. I did in fact happen to open my mouth to speak a short phrase, "something is wrong with me." My mother turned from sarcastic face to serious face in a heart beat and asked, "what's wrong!?" I spoke again, "I woke up with 'you're a grand old flag stuck in my head'." Then passed them by without so much as a smirk. They both of course started hysterically laughing at me and my brains choice of music to have lodged in it lobes.

Now, for serious people.. what is wrong with me? HAHAHA. What on Earth do I possibly dream about that would have me waking up to singing these completely ridiculous tunes?!

..have a nice day. ^_^
