Tuesday
On Tuesday Lori, Meg and I went out to lunch.After a delicious lunch, we stopped in at Magic Mouse Toys. One of my favorite toy stores. It's fabulous.
While there, Lori gave into the temptation to buy a few things. One of those things was these:
Lori was nice enough to give me the purple one...
I feel so enlightened....
While on the subject of shoes…
While on the subject of shoes...Who decided that these boots were back in style? That person should be shot. Especially if that person told women that wearing these boots OVER the bottoms of their jeans is a good idea. Or that wearing these boots with short little cute skirts looks good. These boots are ugly. They should not be worn. Unless of course it is a matter of warmth. I can understand if a person is cold, live in the Arctic circle, and needs these boots to survive. However, wearing these boots in Seattle when it's not even cold yet... That's a crime!
AND they come in multiple ugly colors! AAAAHHHHH!!!!
Note to self
Note to self - when escaping from the mental institution, hospital, etc. leave the slippers behind and steal some real shoes. The slippers give it away every time...Found…
Found...Sometimes I read my fortunes, or my horoscope or I get a fun fortune cookie and it says something like, "You will have something returned to you." Or, "Something you thought was gone forever will suddenly turn up." Or other fun sayings such as that. I always wonder what it is that I lost. Was it a glove? A shoe? I've lost several dozen socks in my life, so it could be that...Is it something someone stole from me?
This week I found something that I didn't know I had to begin with. I found new muscles in my stomach. Apparently my utter need to torture my body with two belly classes a week is really starting to pay off. The other night, as I was laying on the floor trying to recover from power belly, I realized I felt muscles I had never felt before. And, to top that, I could flex them! Who hoo! I can't even tell you how excited I am about this new discovery. Now I walk around and flex the muscles for no other reason than I can! It's very exciting...
In other news...
While I sit here and patiently wait for the document I need to put together to be proofread, I'll tell you about my weekend. It was very exciting. I saw Shaun of the Dead! Now I know what you are thinking, "Elizabeth, that's a ZOMBIE movie!" Yes it is. And it has to be the funniest zombie movie I have seen in a VERY long time. Well... in reality it's the only zombie movie I have ever sat through. But it's hilarious. It's so freakin funny that I couldn't stop laughing. All the Bristish accents and the "right then"s and... oh it's funny. They are billing it as "A romantic comedy with zombies" and is it ever! There are so many things I could say about this movie... but I wouldn't want to ruin the funniness for anyone else. Go see it.

…
...What is it that makes it okay for some people to stand on the side of the road and scream at people? I have noticed a larger amount of people (okay like 3 or 4) screaming for no apparent reason lately. I don't really get why it is. Perhaps something do to with the autumnal equinox and the full moon combination. Maybe there is a planet out of whack at the moment. Weird.
Yesterday there was a woman standing on the side of the street yelling at my bus. I am not sure if she was yelling at the bus as an object or if she felt it had done some personal harm to her, but I was afraid for a few minutes that she might actually get on the bus and start yelling at the people on it. Luckily it seemed that she was just angry at the outside of the bus. She continued to yell at it as we drove past her, stepping slightly out into the street to pump her fists in our direction.
With all of these people talking themselves and yelling at the world in general, I have noticed that I have also been talking out loud more than usual. I'm deeply afraid the people on the street are rubbing off on me. In my case, I talk to myself. Mostly about work stuff or conversations I should have had or will have. I give myself a little bit of a break for this because I don't really have anyone to talk to at work... So I spend most of my day at my PC doing whatever it is I need to do. It seems only natural that I would start chatting with myself just to make sure I still can...Since I don't really talk to anyone during the day.
If you see me on the side of the street, pumping my fists in anger and yelling at the world in general, please don't hesitate to call someone and have me taken away. If I have reached that point it won't make too much difference.
As you wake in the morning
What do you feel?
Does a rush of happiness
wash over you when,
Suddenly, you realize you are alive?
