Well here I am in the middle of the night after having been awoken by my roommate's loud tv set. So I've decided to wait till he's gone tomorrow and toss his 51" set out of the third story window in his room. Just kidding. Maybe.
Before waking I vaguely remember a dream involving my oldest brother's son, Chad. He and I were small talking and I remember telling him to cherish his youth, that it goes by much faster than he could ever imagine.
Its so hard to believe I'm already 36 years old. My body is only beginning to show signs of aging. Most of the time I feel much younger than my age indicates.
This leads me to wonder..
Do you hold any regrets about your past? um. well.. aside from dating shmucks and losers, which I assume is universal.
My biggest regret, aside from certain biological realities, is attending private college in Athens years ago. Truthfully, I wasn't ready then and have much debt now because of it. Another regret of mine is never fully learning how to manage monies. Everyone else seems to either have an innate ability to scrooge and save or has been fortunate enough to marry someone who has enough to go around without worrying.
Other than that, I've played in rock bands, trophied at motocross races, attended anti war rallies in dc, seen so many wonderful bands here and in NYC, underwent back surgery, drove to San Francisco & back in an old beat-up car (with almost no money!), planted & tended gardens, and many other little things. Despite not having many things and not having travelled to many places, I've lived relatively well.
And I still have much living to do.
But first I need to do something about my weight. Since dropping to 165 two months ago I've managed to add 17 pounds. None of my regular friends work out, or if they do they live zillions of miles away. I'm not sure whether this weight gain is due to diet or taking larger doses of estrogen.
Either way, all of my weight winds up not where I want it.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
l5pgirl, you run and skate a lot so I was a little surprised that you mentioned needing lipo. If you of all people still have tummy problems that doesn't leave much hope for getting rid of my own babyfat.
In the morning I plan on putting myself together and go thrift shopping. I must find pants. One of my new friends from group swears by thrifts, and she's tall like me. I never luck finding tops with long enough sleeves at thrifts. But I've never looked for women's pants, or only in passing. I'd like a few pair as I only have three now.
Oh I finally heard from Karen, the director of 100% Woman. She's offered to sell me a copy for $35, which is much much less than the $400 I've seen online (theater pricing?). She too had words of encouragement for getting back into mx.
Speaking of. Just for kicks I looked at a few Kawasakis on the web last night. I can't think of buying anything like that now, but it doesn't hurt to look I guess.
Ok. Enough of my incessant babbling.
