Irritation...

These unsightly blemishes on my body are bringing me down. I suppose they will all be gone in a few weeks so I can wait it out. It's not like anyone ever sees me up close. (By this I mean staring at my belly)...

I think I could use a massage - yesterday I got a pretty good headache at work, not incapacitating but still bad enough that I needed to take three advil. I think it's all the stress I have at work(yeah, right).

Here is a list of things that are bringing me down this morning;

My bruised toenails.
Pasty white thighs.
Sore shoulders.
Lack of sleep.
Global Warming.

Oh yeah,

and my rash.

Today I have a ww meeting to look forward to and the elimination show of So You Think You Can Dance.

What's it all about?

Happy Sunday morning to you all.

I must admit I'm sort of feeling like a dud in general (I know that I'm really not though...). Last night the opening at Crawl Space was pretty low key... not a lot of people showed up, but the caliber of people was grand.

At one point everyone was talking about different artists and I felt a bit out of the loop... I mean I get the art magazines and I try to read about what's going on but I somehow still feel inadequate.

There, I've said it. I feel inadequate.... I know, I could tell you all you ever wanted to know about where to get the best cinnamon roll or rotisserie chicken in Seattle - but to talk coherently about the art world I'm not so good. I guess I don't talk much about art because I don't want to look incompetent - It's easier to just not say anything.

Okay, I guess I should just focus on things that I am good at... like going to cycling and registering for races. I'm going to sign up for the Thorchlight run again this year. I think I'm in better shape and I might shave some time off my results. Now I just have to find a good outfit. Maybe I should go over the top when I dress up so It will distract from the fact that I'm not a strong runner. Oh, also while I was at camp I managed to mess up my digital voice recorder so now I may have to get a new one.

Now I'm off to work on the thin thighs... Later.

Word on the street is...

that I looked "supercute" on the news... that's a relief. Too bad I didn't manage to impress any cute boys while I was stuck waiting for the bridge to go up and down... Oh well, they say the best laid plans (something something something...).

My legs feel like they are jello this morning - not as bad as I think they could be, but not so good either. Someone did tell me yesterday that I had nice legs.... that's nice.

I've been wearing my fit flops too so maybe that's helping as well.

Today - what is going on... work, cycling, looking cute... I think that's about it.

Maybe I will contemplate getting a running skirt... I like skirts and I sort of like running. Sort of... there were some people wearing them with more interesting looking legs than mine so I think I could pull one off.

Now I just have to find the next race to sign up for.

Slow synapses.

Once again I am exhibiting symptoms of being old (or just being overextended)... I really did not want to get up this morning... finally I got out of bed and hooked up the laptop... I was going along trying to check my stats for the blog and couldn't figure out why it was taking so long. Well, my connection failed and it took me a good five minutes to figure out that it was down.

It's going to be a good day - I can tell.

My body survived abs and cycling for now... the story may change by tomorrow morning.

Today I am having lunch with some friends from my old place of employment. I haven't seen them for at least 3 years... they work down in the Portland and Vancouver area. I like seeing people I haven't seen for a while.

HERE'S SOME BIG NEWS...

Michael (TCBFC) and his wife are going to have a baby! That's good news.... but it just reminds me that my eggs are shriveling up and being expelled while I type... it's like the big timer on Days of Our Lives... slowing emptying into the abyss. Oh well, at least I'll have firm thighs.

Have you ever???

Have you ever felt like your thighs had been clamped tightly in vices for ten hours and than released to their former free-flowing selves only to find you can't walk? Okay, I can walk but it is still a bit painful.

I guess that's the price we pay in the quest for firm glutes and thighs.

I'm at Nancy's right now, I should be working swiftly in order to get ready for work and pack things so I can be out of here this morning and make it to work on time.

Oh yeah, happy St. Patrick's Day. I bet you the party is already started in Chicago.

Holy crap my backside hurts...

Thighs of steel.

I guess I worked harder in my cycling class this week. My leg is all messed up, Saturday night I woke up and my right hip was all out of whack and now my right ankle is hurting (the hip got better)...

I guess it's the price we pay for beauty. My inner thighs are tender - it feels like I've been googling (if you know what I mean)... I haven't - if I had you all would have heard about it.

Last night I stopped by Wallgreen's after helping my dad with some chores. I succumbed to the nut aisle again. I also bought some Fiber One Bars because they were on sale. Do I ever learn my lesson? NO! I ate three of them and now my tummy is paying me back. When will I ever learn?

This week is once again full. Working for a living, meetings for the gallery, house/cat sitting... next weekend I have the st. Patrick's Day Dash, camp meetings and de-installation... I guess I'd rather be busy than bored. Oh, it's also payday on Friday too.

I guess I should get ready for work now. I was going to try and make it to the gym but it's too stinking dark and when my alarm went off my body wasn't moving. There's always tomorrow.

Things to think about...

PIGEONS - plague on society or just misunderstood?



WOMEN WITH THIGHS AS BIG AS THEIR ARMS - eating disorder or just a fast metabolism?



RADICHHIO - Tasty leafy thing or highly overrated salad fixing?

you decide...

It's just not the same.

This week on the Today show has been a bit lackluster. Ann is not there and I'm not even sure Al has been there either.

Last night after dinner I went to Target to try on bathing suits - holy crap! I need to do something to my thighs.... liposuction, tanning... encase them in frosted Plexiglass so no one can see them. They are a bit dimply and pasty... maybe I should go to the gym and do lunges - that's probably a better idea than plexi.

Last night on SYTYCD it was a shocker! Jessi and Jesus... Poor Shauna now has to Dance with Cedric again... woe is me. Okay not that Cedric is bad, it's just that he doesn't have the versatility of the other dancers.

Do you think maybe I need to get a life?

I heart warm weather!

Today I braved the elements and bared my legs in public...(with a little help from Vaseline Intensive care lotion with self-tanner). I did the customary walk to Target (on Diversey) and back with a few detours. My grand total for the day is 8.76 miles and 19,159 steps so far.

I've been noticing on my walks that runners rarely have big thighs so I think I may have to up the ante and jog a bit...
