| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- make hay while the sun shines.... So on the day that I finally get off my ass and motivate myself to get to the gym on my lunch hour, I arrive (ON TIME) only to realize the gym is closed for its annual two-week renovation. Damn it. The Exercise Gods are conspiring against me. Oh well. The good news, despite a decided lack of physical activity in the past 2 weeks, I have actually lost a few pounds. Go figure. And a co-worker just called me �tiny�. �You must weigh 86 pounds,� she said. Isn�t perception funny? For the record (breathe deep, can�t believe I�m going to reveal this�does it mean I�m not a �lady�? That�s OK, I guess�.) I am 5 feet 6 inches and weigh 130 pounds. Isn�t that the national average or something? It�s certainly not :"tiny" (although I am small-boned and speaking from past experience, yes it's possible to be heavy AND small-boned...) but then again it�s not big. I�m generally comfortable with my body these days � I do wish my stomach was a bit flatter and more toned. And I like the way my legs start to look when I get on one of my spinning or step class kicks�. But anyway�so instead of working out a sweat I drove over to this cute little midtown boutique that sells Ben Sherman and Paul Frank stuff and bought GB some anniversary presents. Yes, our three-year wedding anniversary is next Wednesday. I�m very happy and excited about this � I tell ya, this marriage thingy is hard and I feel very proud that we have completed year three relatively unscathed. I mean, this was a doozy of a year what with GB losing his job and being unemployed for eight months. Anyway, as part of his gift I bought him a really cool Ben Sherman shirt (navy blue, red and white checked � slim mod cut, short-sleeved) and the most adorable Paul Frank cell phone cover that I really want for myself but just to show how serious I am about this marriage shit, I will give it to my beloved. You don�t know HOW much willpower that will take. See? A good marriage � all about the sacrifice, ya know? I�m going to get him a few other trinkets and then find some cool paper in which to wrap it all up. Oh and a mix CD � MUST do the mix CD. Can I just say that I�m also really proud of myself for having gotten the majority of the gift taken care of MORE THAN A WEEK before our actual anniversary? This is SO unlike me. Now, on the stink front - the smell seems to have faded a bit. You know, it DOES kind of smell like rotten orange juice � but there aren�t any plants near my desk�still, thanks once again for the tip. In the meantime I have double and triple-checked the scent of my own body and am chewing Trident gum like mad. One can never be too sure, you know? Goodness, I just realized something - I think I'm in a good mood. I better take advantage of it while I can.... 2:24 pm - 08.06.02
