Does the Title Come With A Cape?

It was November 2007, on a dark and dreary night. I turned on my computer to find myself dubbed, "The Crunchy Crusader!" Well, I'm not entirely sure about the weather, but I gather it was dark when I first read my new description, as I always seem to be up till the wee hours of night working on my computer.

I belong to a small group made up of mothers interested in various aspects of natural living. (I call them my Granola Moms.) Some of the women in this group seem to be much "crunchier" than I perceive myself. Some, in fact, have habits and lifestyle modifications I aspire to maintain myself. But life in a conservative area of Mid-Michigan, and a family of 3 others, keeps getting in my way, making my transition slow and cumbersome. Or so I thought.

Feeling inspired by something in the cosmos, who knows what precisely, I decided to make some more changes in my Crunchiness that night. I made some comment about my new foray to my Granola Moms, and a whole conversation broke out about each member's real level of crunchiness. Lo and behold, it turns out I am much crunchier than I thought. I commented to my Granola Moms that I really could not be that crunchy. Thus came about the comment from one mother, calling me the Crunchy Crusader.

So what I want to know now, does the title come with a cape? Really. I could have fun with it!
