Feb. 8th, 2005 12:09 pmSo I was poking around my user info page, and I noticed a lot of people had added me as a friend from the various communities I'm in. That's fine with me - I love new friends - and I added all of you, as well. The only thing is, there are lots of you that I don't know all that well. And you might read my journal and not know what the heck I'm talking about, either. I mean I know one thing about you all, and that's that you're all quite tolerant, since most of my journal is reserved for lengthy rants and bitching. So would those of you that have never actually met me mind posting in here just a little bit about yourselves? That will help me follow your own journals and make me a tad less self-conscious about being watched/read. Thanks:)
Yesterday was a wonderfully productive day. I went for an early walk with Jcow. We turned around after about .6mi because his knees hurt, but we still got over a mile covered altogether. Then we cleaned together in the kitchen. He took a nap, and I was going to cook him lunch, but in grand Meg style, I caught the stove on fire instead. This was Jer's fault, however, because he got a shitload of flour under the burners and didn't clean it up and how was I supposed to know it was down there? So he helped me clean everything up, we decided we could really use a new stove, and he started cooking lunch himself. I got mad at him for not letting me do it for him and he said I was very sweet for caring so much. Cause, you know, there's not a lot I'm good at in the kitchen, and the one day he wants spaghetti, I don't get a chance to make it. Oh well. We ate spaghetti, and I did all the dishes and cleaned the countertops. I wish I could be in a mood to tidy up more often. Both of us are such slobs and I hate living in a mess, but I have no motivation to clean, either. Then Jer went to work and I followed him into town because I needed to get a new bathing suit so I could swim at LeClub. I did, and I also got some spandex clothes for working out. I then walked to Barnes and Noble and spent my gift card on a few books. They were both impulse buys. I bought them off the paperback favorites table, because I figured that was a safe way to go. I got another Nicholas Sparks book, which will probably end up being a lot like the last one I read, but I liked that one, so it's all good. I also got a book called The True and Outstanding Adventures of the Hunt Sisters. The cover was very appealing to me...I know, I know, don't judge a book...yeah yeah. But it's about sisters and I figured maybe I'd identify with it since I have one of those. :) That's the one I'm reading first. So far, so good. It's long, though, and I'm only at page 30. I am optimistic, though.
Also yesterday, I posted to
shenandoahva asking for ideas about hobbies to get into around here. I'm hoping to find someone who lives on the mountain to walk with me in the mornings, but that hasn't happened yet. Instead, some very nice women started talking to me, and I've arranged to meet with one of them this afternoon about starting up a Mary Kay thing. I know - me - Mary Kay - but it's something to do and with all the women at work, it should be easy enough. Anyway I just realized it's time to meet her now! To be continued...
Peace.

I'm drawn to you because you seem mature for your age, we're similar in age, we're both married, and we both like Wallace and Gromit :)

Date: 2005-02-09 06:29 am (UTC)Is it in Virginia? Would there be any type of lessons involved for my ski-challenged husband? That would be neat! He visits Virginia a lot for work, but it's Virginia Beach - probably a different area, huh? Oh - I'm not 25 yet, if that matters for the timeshare thing. I don't know when we'd be able to go, but it'd be worth looking into! Thanks for the offer! :)
