Just got back from seeing "Angel Eyes". I hate Jennifer Lopez, how can one person be so darn beautiful? As for the movie, it was pretty good. A bit slow but a real tear jerker for those that love to cry at movies.

I had a pretty good day today. Work's not too hard right now because the bosses are away. My big outing was to a golfing store to buy a putter. We promised to give a prize for some tournament and the bosses forgot to go get it, so now that they're away, I had to go. Do I know the first thing about buying a putter? Not a chance. I asked the guy at the store and he brings me to this aisle that must have about 150 different putters, and he says, well, which one would you like? I hate being patronized like that. He knew damn well I didn't know what I was doing! So I gave him a price range and he showed me a few. And then I did what every smart woman does when she has no idea, I bought the prettiest one. HA! It was all shiny and sleek looking. Don't really care if it puts or not, at least it's pretty, he he.

Got home from work and was so tempted to sit on my duff and doing nothing, but I just had NO excuse. It was windy and cold outside today and I really didn't want to go for a walk. The thought of a nice cup of tea and a nap was great. But I resisted. Instead you know what I did? I put in that darn Richard Simmons Sweatin to the Oldies. And I did the whole thing. It's the first time I actually got through it in a long time. I always say I can't get through it because he drives me nuts (which he does) but the truth of the matter is that it's because I get too darn tired and I give up. But I sweated it out this time, and I actually finished. After making myself do an hour of aerobics I also did the stretching tape for good measure. I was pretty proud of myself. And because I was releasing all those endorphins, I didn't feel like a nap anymore! But I have to relate this story to you because i know a few of you will understand it. I could never tell this story to anyone else! So I'm doing these aerobics and of course with Richard Simmons there's lots of clapping and hollering. Well I'm not much of a hollerer but I really wanted to push the energy to keep myself going so I was clapping along every once in a while. Anyway, I thought I heard someone else clapping in my apartment! I would clap and then something else would clap and I couldn't figure out what it was, because it wasn't me and it wasn't the tv. You want to know what the extra clap was? This is so awful, but I'm going to tell you anyway, it was my thighs!!!!!!! How horrible is that? When I was doing what ever leg movement it was my thighs that were clapping together and they sounded almost like hands! Ugh, how horrible. That goes up on my things to fix list: clapping thighs. And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is why I do my aerobics alone and with the curtains closed!

Had a quick dinner and met up with Aimee (best friend) for coffee. Had our usual cup of coffee and 5 cigarettes. We are such a bad influence on each other. Always making up excuses and blaming the other for not being able to quit. It's almost pathetic. I've decided though that right now, I'm going to get my butt in gear (both literally and figuratively) with regard to food and moving! Then come the cigarettes. I don't actually smoke that much, less than 8 a day, (unless of course, i'm having coffee with Aimee!). But I know, I know, any at all are bad for me.

The one thing I have a bit of guilt over today is I was unable to resist that temptation for popcorn. I'm a popcorn addict. Take everything else away, and I could probably still live on popcorn alone. That and garlic bread. Hmm, maybe the should make garlic popcorn, then I'd really be in heaven. But I give myself a good handslapping today because not only did I get popcorn but I had to get the medium instead of the small and with butter instead of without. Ugh. Okay, I'm stating my goal for June: I'm going to only get a small popcorn with no butter when I'm at the movies. After all, once you have a taste and a handful or two, the rest is gravy right? You don't really need an entire medium bag!

Well it's late, and I have to work at 8:30 so I'm going to bed. Have a nice day all.
