You Can Now Call Me

a working stiff.

I worked 40 hours this
week for the first time
since my daughter was
born. 7 years ago.

I'm frickin tired.

Most of the tired is
the hour long commute
to work. That part
sucks hard.

Or it may be that I haven't
had my coffee yet this
morning.

I've been using this
amazing piece of
technology at work.
I can take control
of a person's computer
and work on it. Its
such a trip. The other
person can be in
Manila for goodness
sakes. Of course,
the person has
to allow me control
first. But jees,
what's next?

Amazing.

The Slim Fast

diet I tried was a
miserable failure.

I gained weight.
It may be that I
had some water weight
gain because of the
old monthly. That
may be it. I felt
like I was constantly
eating. Well, I was.

I don't like to
continually stuff my
face with salad.

I get all gaggy.
Then I felt hungry.

I've never been on
a diet before and I'm
obsessing here.

I just want to get
rid of 15 pounds.

Ok, so now I started
Atkins. I want a banana.
And a friggin portuguese
roll.

I haven't heard back from
the Editor at Bloomsbury.

She fast tracked a quasi
rejection letter to me upon
my first submission. I had
it in two weeks. Ka Bam,
no thank you Ma'am.

So I shot back at her asking
why her first letter was so
ambiguous and to perhaps
think about giving a me a
go.

Its been two months and nothing.
I guess no news is good news.

Perhaps its another way of
saying, move on.

This waiting shit sucks.

Everyone is Out

side today. It really
is a beautiful day.

Hubby and I
forced stepson to learn
how to tie his shoes
this morning.

He is almost 8 YEARS OLD.
HELLO!

Noone at his house ever
taught him. MIFFED AGAIN.

He was so proud of himself.
He walked taller as he left.

Me and my daughter
ate popcorn chicken and
drank milk out of the carton
this afternoon.

She thinks its normal.
Of course, I dont let her drink
when she is sick.
People that visit think we
are weird.

Yes, I suppose we are.
