Monday…another Monday

So, yesterday convinced me.

I’ve got to start working out.

I mean it…really!

I’m achy and exhausted from the morning’s rehearsal and two music sets.

I was sweating and winded by 9:10. Between the early morning - hope everything works out ‘cuz this is all the practice we’re gonna get…and we may have to “wing it” rehearsal, the 800 degree lights, the adrenaline, the nerves because my voice was weak, the spiritual aspect of working so hard to inspire people to worship, the fact that I’m old enough to be the rest of the band’s mother….

Well, anyway, the point is that this morning I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck. Advil is my bff. Coffee is my other bff.

The Bowflex needs to be my bff…followed by pilates, fluidity, “The Firm”, 30 minute abs…and anything else I can find on late night infomercials. I need to find some new obsessions…

So, this is it. Today’s the day. As soon as I finish this blog, and my coffee, and the Advil kicks in…seriously! I AM NOT JOKING!!!

I’m gonna get so buff that all my friends get worried about me and tell me I need to relax and take a break…and they take me to lunch that’s really an “intervention” because I’m just way too obsessed with exercise…and they send me to one of those fancy “retreats” to learn to go through just one day without having to work-out for hours and hours….

Okay, so maybe my dreams are a little lofty…and frighteningly dysfunctional - But, I’m just trying to make a point…where was I? Oh yeah, TODAY IS THE DAY!

Of course, I do have a standing rule that any commitments I make on Monday are open to further review when I’m a little less delirious and a little more sane…

So, I guess the bottom-line is: I’m starting to get seriously ready to begin contemplating a paradigm shift in my attitudes and/or behavior as it relates to my lifestyle - visa vie: sedentary vs. obsessively active.

And I am unanimous in my decision! :-)
Peace.

Tall, Blonde Psychopaths…and other childhood memories.

It’s kind of a surreal thing to turn on the t.v. and see someone you grew up with…

My crazy, childhood friend, Beth Littleford, gives me that surreal feeling often. She’s on “Spin City” right now - it was the line “a tall blond psychopath” that perked up my ears (maybe because it’s a little close to home)…and I thought, “Maybe Beth’s on…” No lie. Of all the tall blonde psychopaths in the world, she’s definitely my favorite.

She’s also currently in the “Laughing Cow” cheese commercial. She’s hilarious and could always make me laugh…even when I was five.

Thanks for making me laugh today, Beth! :-) …I really needed it.

Peace.

Writer’s Block

So, I said I would blog later…and now it’s later - and I’m waiting for a pot of water to boil…so….

…as you may have guessed, no brilliance has come to me over the last several hours…so….

I have, though, had some questions.

For instance:

*How come Byron can stop eating junk for 4 days and lose 13 pounds…literally! And I can be sick, with no appetite - eating like a bird for two weeks…and nothing! NOTHING!?

*How come I can receive a “Victoria’s Secret” catalog and have one kind of “angst”, and in the same day receive a “White House/Black Market” catalog and feel a different “angst” in a whole new direction…(if you’re a woman, and you’ve received either one…you understand - maybe…or maybe it’s just me)?

*How come my newly seven year old has sense enough to know that “it’s really hard having THREE dogs!”…and yet it never occurred to the adult decision-makers in this household…until maybe between 2:30 and 4:30 A.M. the last two nights!?

*How come, as a society, we have sense enough to know that a man should only have one wife, and yet Brett Michaels can have dozens of young women move into his mansion, spend “quality time” with him, engage in “contests” to prove their worthiness to get the privilege of maybe being with him for…oh, say…a month! (Meanwhile it’s all on film and in it’s second season as classic American television!)?

*How come, the minute I start feeling pretty proud of my rantings about how the media, and our culture in general, objectifies women and makes them into possession-like caricatures of who they were really meant to be, I realize - if I’m honest - that I like “Real Housewives of Orange County” better than the new “Real Housewives of New York” because…the Orange County wives are more flamboyant and…attractive….?

*Which leads me back to all those “angsts” that were aforementioned in question number deux…I really do this to myself, don’t I? And, society, the media, Hollywood…etc. are just all-too-eager to aid me in my compulsory analysis.

P.S.: BTW, Did I mention that I use big words when I get tired and/or on a proverbial “soap box”?

Oh well…

I still have nothing to blog about, so…

…peace out for now.
