"One, Two, Three, Crack."

I woke up around 12:00 pm today! Twelve 'o clock! To say the least, it was amazing. And to celebrate, I made breakfast for myself. Nothing special, just eggs, toast, and juice. It was very good, but that's not why I mention it. There's this part in the original Sabrina--the one with Audrey Hepburn--where she's in the French cooking school, and the instructor teaches them how to crack an egg with one hand. "One, two, three, crack," he says, and all the students follow suit. When he comes to Audrey Hepburn, she opens her hand and there's a mess of an egg in her hand. But Audrey gets it perfectly by the end of the movie. While making dinner for Linus she confidently pulls out an egg and says, "One, two, three, crack. See," she says, "it's all in the wrist." So what does that have to do with my breakfast? Everything. I have been trying to perfectly crack an egg with one hand since the first time I saw Sabrina; and today, for the first time, I did it! I know it's the most ridiculous thing in the world, but I felt like a scientist discovering the cure for cancer. Ahh, now I can die happy...ok, well sort of.

On a completely different note, it is shockingly cold outside. On my way home tonight, the sign at the bank read 7 degrees! It's nights like these that I wish we had a fireplace. (Note to future self...Be sure to buy a house with a fireplace. Even if it can't fit more than a bed in the entire house, it will have a fireplace.) What makes the weather worse is my shoe situation. My parents have this thing about leaving our shoes in the garage. This isn't a big deal when it's warmmer out or when my socks are higher than the insides of my shoes. But on a day like today, when it's below freezing and I wear boots that almost come up to my knees and socks that come a little past my ankles, it's unbearable.

So I have been incredibly dizzy all day today. I get dizzy a lot--I know it's strange, but it's true--but not usually this dizzy. I've never been very tipsy before, but I have a feeling this is what it would almost feel like...only I would probably like the feeling. Right now, I don't. My computer screen is currently swaying and making my head hurt. It takes me a while to get up and down the stairs. Walking straight is a whole different matter in and of itself. Maybe I'll just give into it and start looking like a drunk. That'll go over well in church tomorrow. Hmm...I guess we'll see how it goes...
