Worms and femininity
Tuesday morning. My immediate boss is gone all week. That’s a great thing… Unfortunately, I have 5 other bosses to help out if I get bored… which I don’t.
So, here’s to restarting a healthier life. I started two diaries yesterday… this lovely one, plus a paper one to record my food, exercise and water consumption. I don’t want to combine the two, because, really, do you want to see how many liters of water I drink per day? BTW, it’s a lot (4-5 liters)! I did the stationary for an hour last night. Fifteen miles. Cool, right? Yea, except my butt hurts so much today that even my nice padded office chair is providing little relief. Yeesh. I cant wait until it cools down so I can start running outside again. It should be back down to the 90s by this weekend. That means overnight lows will be in the mid 60s which is perfect compared to the mid 80s we have right now.
Oh, you wanna hear something gross?? Its so hot here, that the grassy area around all my work buildings started cooking the worms that lived within, so they came out of the grass on Sunday night to “cool off” on the sidewalks, well, then they got cooked. There are thousands and thousands of cooked and crunchy worms all over the walk ways up to the buildings. Its nasty.
I bought the most expensive purse I have ever owned, yesterday. For those of you who don’t know me (ok, that’s everyone), I am a tomboy… Always have been. I don’t do make up, froo-froo stuff, or really give two shits about feeling “feminine”. I dress professionally for work, but like I said, I don’t wear make up, and just keep my hair in a long pony tail in the back. The purse I had was about 5 years old. The XBF used to work at Bright0n, and could get purses twice a year for $30. it was cool. I got one back then, and I have been using the same one ever since. I know, lame, but it was black and it was leather, which really, is all I cared about. Anyway, I have this assistant here at work, and she is like a size 0-1, beautiful, greek, and she knows fashion. I admit to being a little jealous, and trying a bit harder. So, yesterday, we went shopping. She has taken me before, and is a lot of fun to go with. She is such a blast! Not stuck up, and really as insecure as the rest of us. I kinda consider her an inspiration, but I know, in reality, there is no way I will ever be that thin. My body build muscle like you wouldn’t believe, I just need to lose the fat on top. I used to be a size 4/5. I would be happy to be a size 7/8. So, while I know that I will never be that thin (I mean she is tiny), I think it would be nice to look my best on the way down, so I am trying to be more conscientious of my appearance. OK, so back to the purse, right??? Anyway, we went to a discount store (because she wont pay retail!! Be still my heart), and low and behold, I found the cutest damn purse! Get this--- its pink. LOL it’s a “barrel” type purse from a very well known designer, and would retail for about $300, and I picked it up (on clearance) for $70. I’m stoked. I spent all afternoon putting things in and reorganizing. It’s not that big, but right now, it looks good. I did have to order a new wallet to go in it, as the Bright0n one I had too was way too big.
Better go fill up my water, as I am already slacking behind.
