Alright, enough's enough! I need to get back on track. I've sort of let many things go the last three weeks or so. I haven't been watching my diet too closely -- although I think I look amazing. That amazing look won't continue if I don't get back on track. I have piles of papers lying around...It seems like I get rid of one pile and three more show up...Frustrating! AND I haven't meditated in forever. That is something I need to do again. I feel a bit off balance. So starting today, I will eat better, clean up those damn piles, and start meditating again. Hopefully, I will find what I did with those divorce papers. Hm, wonder if I actually took the time to put them in a file? I guess we'll find out soon. So I figure it shouldn't take me that long to get back on the right path. It's not like I've been on some alternate path for that long. Best to nip it in the bud!

Over the crappy, rainy weekend, I went to Monterey with A. We walked around the mall. I love that mall. Now anyone who knows me knows that I HATE shopping. Now don't get me wrong, I do! But there is something about that mall I love. One of the best stores there is...The Apple Store (can you see the heavens parting, sun shining down, and hear angles singing? I can). Anyway, went in and gawked at the iPad 2. In true A style she tried to get me to buy it. I had to remind her that I have a hard time buying a pair of jeans if they cost $20. She said that it didn't matter, I was getting a stipend next week and it's a great way to spend that money. I think I may go back in a few weeks and get it. While at the mall we ate at Lalla's -- super cute place by the theater. Then we saw Bridesmaids.  It was funny.

We then came back into town and had dinner with J. Dinner was fine. You never know what you'll get at some places here in town. Someone's idea of a chile relleno was a split chile with a meat sauce over it. Yeah, it should be stuffed with cheese, coated, and fried. Not sure what the cook was thinking. At least the rice and beans were good. And while we did this A's significant other was at a bachelor party...with a stripper...who apparently didn't need hands to pick things up...even say a lollipop...from the floor
 
I still crack up watching those 'Scrubby Bubbles' on the commercials. I remember those same guys when I was a kid. I was thoroughly confused as to why my mother never bought that stuff. I mean the bubbles come out of a can or whatever and clean your bathroom for you! What a great thing! I may have even asked her why she didn't buy the product. I mean if a product came with little dudes that would clean my bathroom, I would so totally buy it! I was sooooo disappointed to find out that commercials lie! How could they have led me on like that? Bastards!!

Picture
Imagine, your a cute little kids watching Soul Train on Saturdays with your mom, while sitting on a floral print, velour couch -- weren't the 70's grand? Then this commercial comes on and a hundred or so of these guys comes out and cleans the tub. Then they go down the drain all on their own -- and presumably cleaning the pipes along the way. Yup, that was my thought process as a kid!

Then today after our walk -- that would be the stud dog Samson and myself -- I receive a phone call from my University in Michigan (Oakland University). Oh the good times I had there... They're putting together some damn Alumni book and wanted some basic facts from me. "Okay, fine, I'll humor them," is what I'm thinking. So the questions were basic. When did you graduate? (Can't remember...told ya, good times). Current address and phone number (gave em the one and reminded them that THEY called ME...I think they have the number!) Then...they asked about what I do..."Ah-ha! Law of Attraction saying Hello," I think to myself. So I say teacher AND writer! Cuz after all, that is what I want to be! So I put it out there in the Universe. Oh, then there was the question about spouse and kids. I asked if she knew anybody. Sadly, no.
