Sometimes I really enjoy skimming my junk email.  Today I had one with the subject "Dear Valued Customer" (because this will truly make me feel good inside) and one that simply said "Have more fun in your life.  Have more sex".

I'm becoming more emotional as I age...

Well, the hell that has been Black History Month is now pretty much over.  I have a couple typical days Monday-Wednesday, but nothing outrageously busy.  I don't think I've ever felt this overworked.  In college, I remember there were times my senior year when I was super stressed--I had all those seminar classes and work and everything else that ( Read more... )

I wandered lonely as a Cloud
That floats on high o'er Vales and Hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd
A host of dancing Daffodils;
Along the Lake, beneath the trees,
Ten thousand dancing in the breeze.

The waves beside them danced, but they
Outdid the sparkling waves in glee: --

In such a jocound company:

Soft Smooth
Silky Warm
Heavy, holding me down

Dear body,

I promise I will exercise you soon.  I know it's been 3 days and that you haven't been in a slump like this for months, and I also know that you haven't gotten to run in over a week.  For both of those I am sorry.  I promise to pay extra attention to you after next week.  Please don't get fat on me in the mean time.

Love,
Michelle

I usually take my time making big decisions, carefully weighing all of the pros and cons before I commit.  Once I'm committed, though, I'm all in.
But do I overthink things?
Sometimes I wonder if I'm missing out by not making more spur of the moment decisions.

(and this is not a new pondering.  this is something that's plagued me since childhood.)

Someday, when I have a fella again, I will send him the following e-cards:

It felt oddly good to put some time in behind the wheel today.  I haven't had a long drive alone since I was rushed out of the state on New Year's Day, so it was nice to be on the road.  I like listening to music or a book, but most of all I like having the time to think.  Here are some of this evening's thoughts:

I have always wanted to lay in a ( Read more... )

Some nights you actually get to bed at a reasonable hour because you're completely exhausted, but you're rudely awaken 30 minutes later by your neighbors and their loud music. You try not to let it bother you for a full hour, then you bang on the wall. They stop, only to turn it on even louder a couple minutes later. So you call the police. ( Read more... )
