actually, it’s ALREADY dark outside. and i’m already brighter.
my hair, that is.
i stopped by amy’s salon to say hi, and she did my hair. she promises that it’s going to be PERFECT. so i’m pretty excited about that. perfect hair. right now i have a towel wrapped around my head like a turban, while i wait for her to finish up with somebody else so that she can cut and style me. and then…PERFECTION.
better yet, UNANTICIPATED PERFECTION.
which is a very rare thing.
the day hasn’t been bad. i also had an unplanned lunch today. hmm, i’m starting to see a theme to my day. randy called me when i was done at the hospital, and we had lunch at the food mart. have you been to the food mart, downtown on monroe, across from the post office? the other weekend, maybe it was just last weekend, they had this great sale with lots of wine only three bucks or something ridiculous like that, plus they were serving all kinds of very delicious appetizers and stuff. i love that place.
it must have been two weeks ago, pre-caring (seriously) about how much food i eat. i mean, i’m a woman, the amount of food i eat will ALWAYS be a concern, but there are always different levels. usually i just go around thinking “i MUST eat less so that i can lose five pounds.” unless i want to lose any more.
rarely, as a matter of fact i can’t even remember the last time it happened, have i thought “i must eat less because of sashaying around the stage IN MY UNDERWEAR.” i’m telling you, it’s a GREAT motivator. maybe if you want to lose weight, you should PRETEND you’re going to have to be onstage in your underwear. or maybe you should decide you’ll actually be on stage in your underwear.
great diet motivator.
have you ever gone to a performance of some kind, like the symphony or a play or something, and have you ever suddenly thought “what if i go crazy and charge up onto the stage and start yelling or something?” i mean, is this a thing that goes through anybody else’s mind, or am i just insane? alone in my insanity?
i’d just like to know.
i think, i THINK i’m going to go see a movie tonight that i want to see. if this happens, it will be a good thing. but if something happens; if it’s sold out, or something happens and i don’t get to go, well, that’s all right. because it’s FRIDAY, and i’m going to SLEEP IN tomorrow.
this is, of course, just me TRICKING myself. right now i think, “I get to sleep late tomorrow, and i’m NOT GOING TO GET UP AND WORK OUT! screw that!” but i know i’ll wake up not much later, if at all later, than the time i usually get up, and then i’ll think “i might as well go work out and get it over with.” and then maybe when i’m there i’ll tell myself that i’ll just work out a little, but this, too, is just tricking myself.
what we do to get through the day.
but at least i’m able to trick myself?
ok, i have to finish my transformation to PERFECTION now.
hair perfection, anyway. a good start.
