I'm Jealous of the Woman in This Fake Picture


My day almost makes me want to go on meds. I was so not suited for public consumption today.

I finally completed my taxes just now. The first time in my life I didn't complete them in February. Suffice it to say I owe this year.

I should have gone rowing today but didn't. I'm waiting to hear back on private lessons. That's the only way I'm going to get the technique down, then maybe I can join the group again on Saturday. We shall see.

I've had an awesome stomach ache since about 2pm that's not going away. I've pretty much come to the conclusion that I'm going to have to super-low carb it and pretty much not drink anymore to feel good. That just makes me want to punch the world in the throat.

On number two in the Bond series as I type this "From Russia w Love". Feh. Not liking it much. I don't hate it, but it's just not sparkling with me. The acting is abysmal. I don't buy the chemistry with the Bond girl. Blahblahblah. Ohhhh, he just hit her!!! Good.

Okay. Let me turn this train wreck of a post around.

Positive things...

2 days to the four day birthday extravaganza
5 days before my hair has permission to start graying
5 days to awesome brunch with friends then 7 hours at Viva Day Spa
My Iron Gym Pull Up Bar should be here in the next day or two so that could be good or bad depending if I fall while doing it

There, that's a bit better. I'll try to be happier tomorrow.

Who--Does Number Two --- Work----Foooor?


I love to set goals, some big and important, others small and trivial -- but fun. "Watch All James Bond Films" is a new one. I'm one film down and am loving it because I am really more a big Austin Powers fan and to see all that he mocked in "Dr. No" (the first Bond movie) was so much fun. I kept giggling every time Connery asked who someone worked for, although I see that "Number 2" is based on someone in "Thunderball" (fourth film) and I'm not there yet. Next is "From Russia with Love". I have seen several of the newer ones in their entirety, but the old ones I've only seen bits and pieces of if they've been on some marathon on TNT or something like that.

I see that there is a possible "Austin Powers IV". That would make me so happy. I know II & III did not do what I did, but I still liked all of them. I remember seeing the first one. We were driving back from Vegas to CA and there was a lot of traffic so we decided to stop off at some theatre and see this new film (i think it was the first weekend). I remember annoying all our friends with going on and on and on about it, and then of course it took off. Wow, that was a looooong time ago.


"They're always after me lucky charms. --- They are!!! Why does everyone laugh when I say that???" Still kills me to this day.
