early morning insomnia strikes again.
this time i woke up from a dream both funny and miserable, in which andrew told me he was in love with a classmate from law school and was leaving to meet her in florence (italy, not north omaha). the funny part is, his flame's name was christy energy. i woke up with a laugh because of that hilarious last name and it's obvious reference to what is currently my biggest short-coming. then, because it was 4:50 a.m. and i was still mostly asleep, i spent a few panicked minutes trying to remember if he'd ever mentioned anyone called christy energy while in law school. he hadn't. but she sure sounds like a go-getter, huh?
i have a penchant for literal dreams, but this one takes the cake. if i'm mad at someone, i dream about yelling at them. if i miss someone, i dream about talking to them. and if i'm feeling insecure about being exhausted and slow all the time, i dream that i'm being left for christy energy. with dreams like this, who needs freud?
i think i'm going to adopt christy energy as my alter-ego and invoke her whenever i feel particularly ironic about being an exhausted mama. i bet she carries a brief case.

i'm sure the dream was worrying in that early morning fog, but reading about it, i can't stop laughing. i bet ms. energy has lightening bolts down the side of her thigh-high boots. or at least, she should. :)
Ha ha! LOL
CE sounds like an action figure. I would recommend the thigh-high boots for sure!
andrew just said that christy wears 80's workout gear and runs around with hand weights. when she's done vigorously exercising, i'm sure she puts on the boots.
Kyle says there should be Christy Energy exercise videos. :)
This was SO funny, Darby.
Christy Energy! I love it. What a good idea to embrace her as your alter ego than to fear her as your husband's mistress. Now THAT is the power of a woman.
laughing and laughing and laughing... I had to read your post to my roommate and her boyfriend, so they knew what was making me laugh so much. Her hair is staticky. And her skirt clings to her legs as she blitzes down the sidewalk. Thinking of you every day.
Beyonce and Sasha Fierce have nothing on Darby/Christy Energy. Makes me want to find tall boots, paint lightning bolts on them and have them delivered to the hospital after Wee Willy Whealy is here. Your boys have no idea what they are in for!!!
ooh, Alicia! HILARIOUS!
