Muppets....

(Originally written for a BWC Member Weekly Email)

Are you a Chaos Muppet or Order Muppet?

I ask because I recently read a fun article about Muppet Theory. Here are the "definitions":

"Chaos Muppets are out-of-control, emotional, volatile. They tend toward the blue and fuzzy. They make their way through life in a swirling maelstrom of food crumbs, small flaming objects, and the letter C. Cookie Monster, Ernie, Grover, Gonzo, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and—paradigmatically—Animal, are all Chaos Muppets."

"Order Muppets—and I’m thinking about Bert, Scooter, Sam the Eagle, Kermit the Frog, and the blue guy who is perennially harassed by Grover at restaurants (the Order Muppet Everyman)—tend to be neurotic, highly regimented, averse to surprises and may sport monstrously large eyebrows. They sometimes resent the responsibility of the world weighing on their felt shoulders, but they secretly revel in the knowledge that they keep the show running."

I am probably an Order Muppet. According to this quiz - I am Scooter. And this quiz says I am Kermit the Frog. Kermit is one of my favorite muppets. But the description of Scooter is probably right on.

Regardless of whether you are a Chaos Muppet or an Order Muppet - January was a weird, chaotic month. And we have all felt it.

One of the questions we've been asking in check-in is "What did you enjoy in January?" The most frequent answer? "IT'S OVER."

Take heart - we are in the middle of February and March is around the corner. So let your inner Muppet out and go play!
