2010 thus far
The new year, summarized:
* I’ve been completely obsessed with The Millennium series by Stieg Larsson. I read “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo” and then instantly moved on to the second book, and after finishing that in less than a day was outraged to discover that the third installment isn’t expected until May 25th of this year. I want an advance copy!
* I’ve been working out pretty regularly, which is a nice change from my usual couch-potato habits. I’m alternating cardio and weight training, which is slowly toning various parts. The number on the scale stubbornly remains the same, but I LOOK tighter, which makes me want to bend over in various public places. Kidding. (Sort of).
* It’s been snowing nonstop for about two days, and this morning I was mildly worried about being able to get out of my driveway without the aid of a plow. Fortunately I made it to the post office and the library with minimal fuss, and my neighbor mentioned using his four wheeler to clear my driveway tomorrow. Whew.
* We hired a new employee at my office, who will hopefully turn out better than the last one – not that it would be hard, considering what a waste of valuable oxygen HE is. Another body also means that my body can be in places OTHER than the office in the near future.
* I’ve been inexplicably lonely. So lonely that I’ve gone out of my way to be around people I usually don’t even like. Some people are better than no people, right? Or at least that seems to be my attitude in the last week or so. Normally I enjoy my own company, and can stay indoors for hours with a book or a blank Word document, but suddenly I find myself searching for companionship. I don’t really like it.
How is everyone else’s year going?
Ugh. I’m sorry you’re feeling lonely. I hope the feeling passes soon!
I’ve now heard about that book in three places! Obviously I have to read it. First on the list is what I’m already reading, then rereading the latest in the Outlander series (have you read those?), then I’ll search it out.
So the tightening and the confidence (which is how I interpreted bending over in public places!) is so much better than the scale numbers!
I’ve been the opposite of lonely lately, which is why I haven’t been posting much. But normally there’s always blogland to reduce the loneliness!
Dude, what’s with me and all the exclamation points?
BS: I haven’t read the Outlander series – clearly I need to make a trip to Amazon and hunt them down.
