a new day...I'm not talk about Celine Dion

So I've had a #$%&! past few months - my blogging, physical, and mental health have suffered. TODAY I take a stand (possibly under the influence of a large dose of caffeine pills - don't knock it until you try it). I realized that I do have funny stories or thoughts that pop into my mind even during moments of self martyring.

For instance...

As I pondering about dating and what it all boils down to I find myself watching lots of animal planet and realize the only difference between us and them is we walk on two limbs and have less hair. Then I stop and think and know people where that wouldn't hold up.

Another while paying off a very expensive speeding ticket I find that I don't have reverence for the City of Alexandria and it's speeding restrictions I tend to flip off the area I was pulled over at and frown.

Work is still my number one time commitment and don't doubt it will change.

Being limited in my physical activity I ache inside when I see people running, biking, playing sports. BUT then wonder when I am cleared by my Dr. will I be leaping toward those activities or still watch because I now have the ability to participate.

SWEATING in certain areas of the body should never be discussed during a meal; unless you are talking to yourself.

SPEED DATING - worth the $50 of 3 1/2 hours of 3 minute round robins with the possibility of no interest or response back. Or should it go towards the mythical exotic vacation I keep saying I'm going to take.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL - I really want to go to the Utah season opener in Michigan but don't have my Michigan sidekick anymore. Am I strong enough and determined enough to go alone? Or risk announcing it on the listserv and pray someone wants to go that isn't CRAZY.

Laser hair removal is something I've always wanted to do but if I do it what would I do with those extra minutes in the shower and could that money again go toward the mythical exotic vacation I say that I am going to go on soon.
