Yum. The cafeteria had fresh strawberries in their fruit selection today! See, didn’t I tell you that it’s the little things that get me all excited?! Oh food….I am certainly a lover of food!! I do have to watch it…big time!!
Worked out last night and the kickboxing instructor did something new this time: while we were doing squats, she asked us to turn sideways to the mirror to make sure our form was correct. When I did this and looked in the mirror I noticed that my butt is sort of out of proportion to the rest of my body!! I know I should have realized this long ago, but I guess I was in denial!!! I am most definitely not overweight, and I work out three times a week….my arms and back and chest and legs (for the most part) are lean and pretty muscular. I just have a round, very full caboose! Not like a bubble or odd-looking…just full and round. No wonder Dude once called me “hippy” and LDL (Long Distance Love) used to say that I looked like one of those models from the 40s….you know…curvaceous?! DUH!!!
What I’m trying to say is, I’d like to work on that area and isolate my hips, butt and thighs. Oh and while I’m at it…my abs could use a few rips, too! Not much to ask for is it? Especially since swimsuit season is a few short weeks (days?) away!! Ug. I wish I could spend my days just working out and getting my butt in shape. But such is life…I have to work!!
Work has gotten crazy and sometimes pretty spastic. I am sensing a huge upheaval in my area. I hope I still have a job next month now that I’ve gotten my big promotion!!! I finally got my first paycheck that reflects my new salary. Woo hoo!! I’m finally going to start saving for a downpayment on a house (that is, if I don’t get laid off next month). I think anyway. I’m still trying to decide if I want to live in this town for a while. If things keep looking up at work I think I will.
For a while, anyway.
My girlfriend who was in town over the weekend sent me a really nice e-mail yesterday. In it she told me how great she thought I looked as was glad to see me doing so well, but that she worried about me getting lonely because I moved pretty far from my old stomping grounds. I wrote her back telling her that I am basically lonely anyway. No different than how I was living in the crappy old apartment complex. Only now I love my place, and that makes me happy. I’m hardly ever home anyway. There’s always something going on. Seriously, I’m not really that lonely…it just really hits hard in the middle of the night when there’s nobody there in bed with me and when I wake up in the morning and there’s nobody…just nobody…
Thank goodness for my sweet kitty. I swear, we need each other almost desperately. He greets me at the door when I come home from work or working out just like a dog would! He is extremely vocal and “talks” to me all the time…sometimes too much!! He needs so much attention. Sometimes I feel guilty because I leave my apartment by 7am every morning and usually don’t come home until around 8 or 8:30 at night! By the time I get home, poor kitty is so desperate for attention that it’s almost pitiful!! I never really wanted a cat, but he was a gift from an old boyfriend (a manipulative tactic to try to keep me from leaving!). And now I am so attached to him…I wouldn’t know what to do without him!!
Oh hell, this whole entry makes me sound pretty pathetic! Oh well, I guess the truth hurts, huh? On that note, I’m gonna cruise outta here. I am going to buy a little TV for my bedroom (that flickering light thing, you know) and then I may take myself out for a cocktail or two…..I actually have some friends who might like to do something on a Tuesday night….we shall see!!
Ciao!
