July 8 2002
- Jul. 8, 2002gym on Friday, and then I don't remember what else I did. Maybe
cooked dinner & went to bed? I dunno...
Saturday: checked po box, puttered around the house, then went to San
Antonio, got to Dee's house at 5. Saw Dee's mom, sis, brother,
Josephine, Lyle, everybody. Dee's mom's house is shockingly trashed.
I wanted to clean...
Then Dee, Josephine and I went over to Rio's, watched Adam Ant
videos, then Lyle came over, then the three ladies went over to North
Star Mall to return some Kwan Yin statues that Dee had gotten that
didn't glow in the dark, she exchanged them for some that did, then
back to Rio's and we all went to dinner at Golden Wok. Very good
food, nice atmosphere, lousy waiter.
On the way home, we stopped by Wal mart so Rio could get some light
bulbs. Dee says there are no grossly obese people in Germany, that
about 'our size' is as big as they get. That Wal Mart kind of freaked
her out, because of all the fat people, and something else that she
couldn't put her finger on.
We stayed up late, I left a bit after midnight.
Sunday, I got to Nude Yoga a minute late--the door was already closed
and locked. Then I went to the gym, got to the parking lot and
realized that I'd forgotten my ID card, so went back home and got
it,then back to the gym. Did a circuit, 1 set of everything, rode
bike and did treadmill, sat in the sauna & the hot tub, then off to
Sephora, where I tried 3 new fragrances: Lily by Christian Dior,
Azzaria, and Hermes Vert et Orange. I liked the Hermes best at first,
but it faded to a kind of old lady powdery smell. Azzaria was nice
but faded too quickly. Lily smelled the same going on, and was still
there at the end of the day.
I re-did my makeup, put glitter mascara in my hair, and then went to
San Gabriel Park & hung out with E & A. Arthur bit me. I rode
Mirage for a minute--her Arabian garb looked pretty good. Chatted
with one of the Drandmir guys for a bit, another introduced himself
later...so I guess the key is to keep coming back and not worry about
teh majority who ignores me, but focus on the couple who say hi. IF I
wanted to be a part of Drandmir, that is. But I was just out there to
say hey to E. I called home on my cell phone and E got to say
hi to Holly. Mom is sending me her 'itenerary' for going to New
Mexico.
A says she doesn't know how to put on makeup and wanted to go to
Sephora and have someone there show her how. I told her she'd have
fun playing in all the makeup. And I said I'd go with her if she
wanted. Sad to be 32 and not know how to do basic girly stuff. She is
getting very sun damaged But...does not look as bad as I do, and I
wear sunscreen every day. *sigh*
Our creek is vile. The City is apparently still working on the
problem. A sewer line broke on July 4, and has been spilling raw
sewage into our creek. How awful. I had no idea I would someday have
prime real estate in the Bog of Eternal Stench.
An 18 year old Diarylander signed my notes with "I love you, will you
marry me?" It's silly, but I feel all warm and fuzzy inside. It's
good to be loved, even by silly young stranger boys.
- Jul. 8, 2002I am feeling pretty good about life these days. I guess it's lame,
but I feel like I'm getting things under control, things that for
some reason are linked in my psyche even though they aren't in RL.
Spending & weight/exercise/food stuff. I am not charging anything
this month, all my bills are paid, I have a good stock of groceries,
and have $223 left in my chcking account. I didn't pay a big amount
on any of my credit cards, but if I pay a bit, and leave enough to
keep myself from charging, and DONT charge any more, eventually
they'll be paid down to 0. Similar to the diet thing I guess. If I
eat smaller quantities, exercise a little bit more, nothing extreme
or crazy, just take a little more care with things, I will lose
weight. Nothing dramatic, but taking care of things a little bit at a
time. Stay sane, don't do any panic-spending, and everything will be
cool. If I've done well, I will give myself a little amazon.com spree
at the end of July :)
Ediets.com sent me my username & password. Their daily journal is
good. Their menus make more sense than 24 hours, but there's still
some empty calories in there, the popcorn thing. *4* cups on ediets,
not 3 as in 24-hrs. But still ...not much in the way of fiber or
nutrition, so why clutter up my body with it?
Taurus
Horoscope (by astrocenter.com)
It may be hard for you to stay grounded today, so don't force it,
dear Taurus. Let the bluebird sing on your shoulder as you walk down
the street. Initiate a romantic evening for two in which you explore
all your deepest fantasies. The nature of the day may call for an
attitude that is a little more aggressive than you might like.
Realize that sometimes this kind of mind set is exactly what is
needed to get the ball rolling.
Gemini
Horoscope (by astrocenter.com)
Turn up the volume on your heart today, dear Gemini, and feel free to
run away with your fantasies. Let the energy from your job concerns
unwind later on tonight as you let loose and do whatever it is your
heart desires. Go out to dinner with a romantic partner and share
your feelings openly. This is a day to initiate and direct your
energy outwards. Feel free to explore the new and unconventional.
