actually, it\u2019s ALREADY dark outside. and i\u2019m already brighter.<\/p>\n
my hair, that is.<\/p>\n
i stopped by amy\u2019s salon to say hi, and she did my hair. she promises that it\u2019s going to be PERFECT. so i\u2019m 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.<\/p>\n
better yet, UNANTICIPATED PERFECTION.<\/p>\n
which is a very rare thing.<\/p>\n
the day hasn\u2019t been bad. i also had an unplanned lunch today. hmm, i\u2019m 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.<\/p>\n
it must have been two weeks ago, pre-caring (seriously) about how much food i eat. i mean, i\u2019m 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. <\/p>\n
rarely, as a matter of fact i can\u2019t even remember the last time it happened, have i thought “i must eat less because of sashaying around the stage IN MY UNDERWEAR.” i\u2019m telling you, it\u2019s a GREAT motivator. maybe if you want to lose weight, you should PRETEND you\u2019re going to have to be onstage in your underwear. or maybe you should decide you\u2019ll actually be on stage in your underwear.<\/p>\n
great diet motivator.<\/p>\n
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\u2019s mind, or am i just insane? alone in my insanity?<\/p>\n
i\u2019d just like to know.<\/p>\n
i think, i THINK i\u2019m 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\u2019s sold out, or something happens and i don\u2019t get to go, well, that\u2019s all right. because it\u2019s FRIDAY, and i\u2019m going to SLEEP IN tomorrow.<\/p>\n
this is, of course, just me TRICKING myself. right now i think, “I get to sleep late tomorrow, and i\u2019m NOT GOING TO GET UP AND WORK OUT! screw that!” but i know i\u2019ll wake up not much later, if at all later, than the time i usually get up, and then i\u2019ll think “i might as well go work out and get it over with.” and then maybe when i\u2019m there i\u2019ll tell myself that i\u2019ll just work out a little, but this, too, is just tricking myself.<\/p>\n
what we do to get through the day.<\/p>\n
but at least i\u2019m able to trick myself? <\/p>\n
ok, i have to finish my transformation to PERFECTION now.<\/p>\n
hair perfection, anyway. a good start.<\/p>\n
