Just came back in from a short but brisk walk around the development. I forget how good it feels to move. Just an hour earlier I finished watching Abre los ojos (aka Open your eyes). Now that was one freaky movie. I am not so sure I want to watch Vanilla Sky. I had my fill of Open Your Eyes and am not interested in watching it again with different actors. I did watch the special features that were included on Vanilla Sky. One of the features was an interview with Paul McCartney who apparently wrote and performed the theme song. Watching the interview, I noticed that Paul is looking more and more like Angela Lansbury. Heck, in a few years he may get his own Murder Mystery show on CBS.

Lisa picked me up at the airport last night. Her little Ford Focus came racing down the road and screeched to a halt right where I was standing. The passenger door flung open and cigarette smoke poured out along with the loud, familiar strains of the Hedwig and the Angry Inch soundtrack. My sister is so cool.

I ate too much today. This is becoming far too common. I am not exercising and I am eating far too much food. It is at the point where I am actually scared to weigh myself. All I need to do is exercise a little but I find it so difficult, especially always being in Chicago. Last week I purposely packed sweatpants and a tank top so I could exercise in the hotel’s workout room. The one evening I got back from the office and decided to do the treadmill. I put on my workout gear only to realize that I packed just kneehighs and high heels for my feet. I spent the evening watching TV.

I started reading the book, How to Make Anyone Fall in Love with You. The book is fabulous! Already I have realized what my problem is— somewere along the way, I never learned how to flirt. No wonder I am not approached, I don’t smile or give any of the other gestures that let men know I am approachable. Things are going to change, let me tell you. I am going to throw my head back, my inverted chest forward and I am going to smile as I go about my life from now on! Or at least until I forget all about it. What was I saying?
