Random Thought of the Day:I measure the value of my clothing by how useful they would be if a zombie apocalypse happened while I was wearing them. For instance, are they easy to run in? Would they keep me warm if I had to sleep outside? Would they last a long time if I wasn’t able to change them for several days or weeks? Are the shoes warm and not too high heeled? I mean, I love wearing heels, but I feel like I am risking my life every time I wear a pair to work.
So I have plans to go to Punta Cana at the end of March with my family and …man. I hate the word partner! Partner sound too politically correct and unfortunately, gives the impression that I might be referring to my ‘girlfriend’. But ‘boyfriend’ feels too juvenile and has never really sat well with me. He is not a ‘boy’ and is no longer my ‘friend’, (but something much more intimate) and should not be referred to as such. I would rather deny having a ‘boyfriend’ than have to use the term (which has gotten me in to trouble in the past). It just reminds me of a boy or girl on the school yard, going up to someone and asking them to be their boy/girlfriend. Husband is a term that definitely jumps the gun, so it isn’t suitable either. They really need to find a term between boyfriend and husband that marks a relationship as (possibly) common law, or serious, or long term. A middle ground.
Anyway, my thoughts are wandering. So warm climates and real tans and fresh fruit and beach volleyball. These are the thoughts that are getting me through the cold winter months. I have been tanning at least twice a week, to keep myself safe in the harsh tropical sunlight. I have been regularly working out so that I am not completely humiliated in a bathing suit. AND I have been shopping for cute little summer pieces and tankinis. You can imagine how difficult it is to find summer clothes in the dead of winter.
My parents just upgraded some of their electronics and somehow in the process, Stuart and I ended up with a new x-box and surround sound. I am not going to complain about 6 speakers around my living room, but I will admit, I was hesitant to take my dad’s barely used game system. I was worried Stuart would spend his days and nights playing NHL hockey and Call of Duty. But in reality, we found a new use for the game console- NETFLIKS!!! We spend our days and nights watching movies and TV online. Netfliks doesn’t have the greatest selection, but it certainly is entertaining. Now I am worried that we are going to go over our allotted Internet usage.
Mood:
Off. Ever have one of those days when you just don’t feel like yourself?
Thing I am angry about:
Having my credit card denied at a gas station and having the attendant announce it over the loud speaker! Who does that!?
Thing I am anxious about:
My car needs all the locks replaced because someone broke into it with a screw driver. Now I need new keys, new locks on driver door and trunk, and to rekey the ignition cylinder. I hate Toronto.
Thing I am excited about:
My friend’s Alex and Kelsey just had a baby girl, Molly! I can’t wait to see her.
Last great experience:
My sister’s birthday bash! We went to Bier Markt and a club called ‘Dolce’ and there were go-go dancers wearing almost nothing, dancing on big speakers.
Anyway, I like these little headers- they are succinct and to the point. Maybe my next blog will just be these little one liners, they read more like my diary than a blog. Until next time, loyal blog readers.
