So... why don't I post here anymore?
1. I don't think anyone cares
2. I haven't had TOO many illicit thoughts lately
3. Been a bit busy
But what the hell. I'm here now, so I might as well spew something out.
I WANT to have an illicit crush on someone, but gosh darnit, there's just nobody worthy. I've been on a John Irving kick and read "The World According to Garp." After I finished it, I rented the movie from Netflix (doesn't do the book justice, but in all honesty, the car wreck scene kinda ruined the book for me anyway). Anyway, if you haven't read the book, it's about a couple who love each other, but in true 70s style (the book was written in the early 80s) have a few indiscretions. The husband's indiscretions are mostly with babysitters and have no real ill effects. The wife has 1 indiscretion and it ends in one of their child getting killed (it's as much the husband's fault though). So I suppose this is probably what John Irving intended, being a man, but it makes me think about things a little harder. So... there is a totally insignificant guy at work (sort of like the insignificant guy in Garp), who is cute. And young. And so NOT worth risking anything for (I'm sure you know the type). Even in my 3 am fantasies I can barely muster enough passion for him... but god, I need something to think about at 3 am.
Anyway... I've been working on my novel, and making jewelry, and working out. I ran a 10K recently, which was quite a feat. Now I'm on weight watchers, trying to lose 20 pounds so I can run faster and put less stress on these 36 year old knees and feet.Got a promotion and raise at work, but it's stressful as hell. But life is all in all good. Just booked a Danube river cruise for Thanksgiving. Starts in Budapest and goes to Vienna...ends in Nuremberg. Have a serious travel bug lately.
well... too hungry really to be coherent. I have 11 weeks left on the program and have lost 3 pounds so far... goodnight. (as she passes out)
