I just fed Preston, my beloved lab, another dried apricot halve. He freakin' loves them...along with every other type of vegetation known to man. We often joke that maybe he is a vegetarian at heart, because he spends a really huge amount of time eating various plants when he is outside. I mean, it is way above average, here. Preston loves him some greens. The other day, I fed him some acorn squash and a tomato. He looked at me with eyes that said, "keep this secret veggie feeding thing up, and you may finally be my favorite." Lately, we've been noticing that he really loves to lay on the yoga mat, as well. I freely admit. I will admit I am secretly happy to know that Preston at least has some hippie-ish tendencies...It just helps me to assume that if he were a registered voter, he would probably not go Republican. I like to think that he is actually quite liberal. Yes, a liberal, vegetarian hippie--who loves me best.
I have not been feeling like updating at all! I really just don't know why. I keep having these secret fears that when I finally feel like updating again, no one will want to talk to me anymore! Well, Dont' Cry for me, Argentina...the truth is that I NEVER left you...I've been reading; just not writing.
Ummm, I have this view on life and work that has sort of shifted and developed in the last year or so...It really seems that those of us who live this "American dream" life/goals can just become so disconnected...so BUSY, and what's the point? So, there's something that you may not know about me that is about life in general...I don't feel the need to achieve the American Dream...I think that we work toooooo much. I'd rather get to the end of my life and know that I have spent my time building relationships and myself as a person and an altruist--things that are more internal than a nice car and nice clothes.
I'm reading this funny book, "Autobiography of a Fat Bride," which is sort of a caricature of my own life...Many, many awkward and humbling moments to be found here. It is really funny.

It makes me so sad when you don't write, but then when you do ... I'M ECSTATIC!!!!!!!!! Missed you chicky. And no worries, I checked every single day to see if you had written.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see pictures of your nicely toned ass! That would totally rock. I can't wait until you post them up here, whenever you finally feel prepared. Or, I guess, when you feel you've toned up enough. You're going to have to tell me how you feel about the Body for Life stuff. A lot of people give it really high reviews so I'm curious.
And thank you for the sympathies. It's been new and strange and difficult, but I'm dealing with it.
Much love.
Miss Faye! Glad to see you're back - I miss you when you don't write. Your pup is Adorable. Do you see that he requires a capital A for his adorability? And let me mention that I am insanely jealous of weights at home. I have not a notion as to where I would put so much as a dumbbell in my little house, so there's some serious envy going on here.
ReplyDeleteI'm so with you on the other stuff, it's like we were separated at birth. I too suffered from what I like to call "reverse body dysmorphic syndrome", where I actually saw myself as *smaller* than I was. And there are pictures of me that would make you go blind.
Glad you're back!!
