I am reading Goldie Hawn’s book. It doesn’t so much read as a
biography, or a memoir. Instead, it’s flashes of memories–short
and quick–that let us in on vague moments in her life and what she’s
learned from those moments. To be honest, it’s quite an
interesting read.

I spent my day (one of a rare free days to myself) doing an utmost
fascinating task. I took all the pictures and documents from my
old iMac, and transfered them to my PC. Sounds easy, but I just
couldn’t get my memory stick to work on my mac (although, it should
have), so instead, I slowly uploaded hundreds of pictures from my iMac
into Gmail and sent them to myself. It took hours. I also
recovered many poems and first chapters that I’ve written. It is
so much fun to go back and see my moments of brilliant writing as well
as the absolute crap.

Several pictures (mostly of my sister’s wedding), didn’t make the trip
very well. However, I now have about 75% of them available.
Soon they will be organized into albums, and downloaded onto my iPod. I
have finaly done this! I’ve been thinking about it for a year and
a half *phew!*

One thing I noticed, was how GREAT I looked when I was younger. I
have pics going back to when I was 19 years old. Man, the years
and the pounds really sneak up on you. Oh well, age happens…get
over it. I am on the South Beach diet, and I’ve lost eight
pounds. I’m now at 210 pounds. When those pics were taken,
I was around 160-180. Big difference. However, I was on my
feet all day back then, working as a waiter, running my ass off.
Perhaps when I graduate and become an RN, I will start dropping some
pounds.

Durning the evening was a Spira ritual. I had a bit of a
leadership role. I didn’t do so well…forgetting parts
etc. But for the most part, things stayed together, and no huge
problems.

I know you all hate rain…but man…I am loving this not stop downpoor. I dread the day it becomes hot and sunny again.

Lastly, I’m waiting to hear back if I got a job in Loyalty and
Retention. Everyone cross your fingers for me. If I get the
job, I’ll explain it a little further.

Anyway, that’s a glimpse into my last few days.

I am the first person at work today. I came in, made coffee, and now I’m sitting here listening to my iPod (God bless my iPod) and sipping coffee that I made.

I went for a jog this morning. I forgot what a huge difference exercise makes on a person’s day. Everything just seems “sharper.”You feel just a little more comfortable in your own body.

Although, it wasn’t easy to wake myself up at 7:30am this morning since I ususally get up around 10am everyday. I’m grateful I did, and I think the main reason I was able to do it was that I knew I would be grateful….and be infinitely regretful if I slept in instead.

Isn’t it amazing how one song can bring back a wave emotions? I know…I’m preaching to the choir. But MAN! I only had to listen to James Taylor’s “Fire and Rain” once yesterday and I burst out in tears. At that moment I missed Boston, I missed P., I missed that assured feeling I had that I would be moving to Boston after graduation to be with him forever. I haven’t even talked to him for about six months. I went hunting for him last night online, but couldn’t find him. It was a wierd moment.

The beginning of the Baseball season…and watching those oh-so-sentimental Red Sox play at Fenway isn’t helping either.

Today is my nephew’s first b-day party. I discovered the other day while standing in Toys-R-Us,scratching my head, and staring at a wall of toys…that I have no idea how to buy for a one-year-old. I must admit I’ve never done it before. I got him a Baby Einstein Book (On Mozart…ick…everyone knows that I’m a Beethoven kind of guy, but you do what you have to do) and a little barking dog attached to a string that he can pull along beside him while he learns to walk.

Geeze…jogging with an iPod, buying toys for my nephew, eating special K etc.

…I’m officially a yuppy!

LOL
