Aw, Gracie's looking out for you, brenda! All those middle of the night times were just drills so she'd be ready when you needed her.
The other night I fell asleep with a black cat curled up to the right of my head and a white cat curled up to my left. I felt like I should be illustrating a tarot card or something. Slept pretty good, too.
I haven't been able to work exercise into my routine for months. I don't think I can get up any earlier - I already get up at 5:30 to have time for breakfast and showering and so forth. And after work when I tell myself I'll have time, I'm tired. I'm fairly certain that if I could just force myself to hit the gym I would eventually have more energy to do other things as well as the gym, but that forcing myself part is hard.
LOVE the polka dots. So cute.
Last month I made a bet with a co-worker to run every day; the price was the loser would have to invite a mutually detested co-worker to lunch at a location of the winner's choosing. I missed three days for sickness. I found out after the month was over that he had had perfect attendance from kindergarten through college-- he does not fuck around. Nevertheless, he did not collect on the bet.
This month, another bet, involving 10k steps on the pedometer and water consumption, this time for a cash prize. So far I've run nearly every day and lost weight. But these bets have made me much more willing to run after work, even if they still don't get me out of bed in the morning.
So, my advice? Find a crazy co-worker.
brenda, ugh. That sounds not fun at all.
Although...you were cited as globally unethical!?
ARE YOU REALLY DICK CHENEY?!
Two thoughts, msbelle. Do you think the twee bow on the polka dot could be removed? Also, the pink pleated one is pretty, but the cap sleeves are sometimes a challenge (at least for me!)
I like both of those dresses! I think the polka-dot one isn't very fancy for a wedding, though. And the pattern on the other might come off a bit muddy from far away. But they're both super cute, so...
Nice and interesting evening, I had a guest over to trade massages (strictly aboveboard, he's straight). Apparently I did an OK job despite lack of training, as he nearly fell asleep. He was much better at it though, I feel like jelly now.
And how did no one ever tell me about how good temple massages feel? When Sam was going surprise massage-crazy and working kinks
into
my back during sex a couple years ago, why couldn't he have concentrated on my temples instead?!?
I am not sure how formal the wedding will be, definitely not tuxes for the wedding party though. These are things I have been told "snazzy casual, casual fancy, sharp relaxed" colors "gray, brown white and some color or two".
