one Diet Mountain Dew short of a case 2001-06-01 I really don't feel like updating today, I don't know why. I love this diary and I love diaryland, but I'm just not in the mood. Other Things I Love Besides Diaryland, by Tattoobelly @ Red Oak Lager @ birds @ Metropolitan Home magazine @ lemonheads @ thunder when I'm at work (the power might go out and maybe we could go home) @ marabou @ what is marabou, anyway? @ Fridays @ sleeping in @ Hearts (the card game, not the organ) @ Diet Mountain Dew (yee-haw!) Oy, I haven't been sleeping well. Here's a thing. On Wednesday the Boy brought home a picture he'd made at school, which thoughtfully incorporated my current favorite color, orange. To me from him was written on, and it was quite nice and I thanked him and was grateful and hung it on the bulletin board in a place of honor. Francisco came up behind me when I was hanging it and whispered, "He told me it was a late Mother's Day gift". I misted up; I'm such a sap. I'm starting to catch up at work. I've been a terrible slacker for the last couple weeks, but yesterday I decided that I would be better. My exact thought was, "Okay, for better or worse this IS my job, and I'm going to do the Hell out of it." And I am. So far. I'll let you know how it goes. This morning when I went to the gym there was only one person there. I don't know his name but Francisco and I call him Ankle Tattoo (we have nicknames for most of the regular gym people). Then Ankle Tattoo left and I was alone for awhile until Lifts Too Much Weight and Does it Badly arrived. I finished my exercising (still hate the term 'workout') and went to shower, and when I was leaving I saw that Pretty Indian Girl and Nondescript Man Who Hasn't Been at the Gym Long Enough to Acquire a Nickname were both there, but that was it. The gym is always underpopulated on Fridays, which is partly the reason I make the effort to go; I like the solitude. Can I speak about Ankle Tattoo's ankle tattoo for a moment? I believe it is a good tattoo, meaning that it was done well, but it is a very generic sun motif, and also there is something odd about a man sporting an ankle tattoo--it just doesn't seem to work. It's too feminine a spot for a man, unless you're gay. This guy doesn't seem to be gay but maybe he's in denial. I digress. People, if you're going to get a tattoo, make it something unusual that says something about you and your personality; don't just pick something off the wall at the tattoo studio. Anything that can be drawn can be tattooed--remember that. And men, if you're not gay, don't tattoo your ankles until everything else is covered. Too incongruous. Thanks. Eh, don't listen to tattoobelly; she's feeling a mite codgery today. I love putting 'y' on the end of words that cannot grammatically sustain a 'y'. And that's a wrap for today, people. Have a great weekend, and whatever else you may do on Saturday and Sunday, do not--I implore you--throw an oily rag into your laundry hamper. It's just not smart. Love!
