I have an anxious, troubled, curious mind and I needed a place to spit out my thoughts.

Yay! I'm sooooo excited! I can't wait to watch it. I probably won't watch it today or tomorrow, but I promise you I will watch it before or on the 22nd. Why such a specific date, you ask? Well let me tell you a story….
 
[Cue dream sequence harp music here]
 
A long long time ago… okay not very long ago… it really was only about 3 years ago, I was hanging out with some friends at a local bar attempting to get over my break-up with Satan's spawn only 4 months before. I wasn't emotionally ready for a relationship. I was bitter, angry, sad, and skeptical and untrusting of everyone… especially men. There was no way I was getting into another relationship right away… and I didn't. It'd be less than year until I would become exclusive with the very sweet guy I met on a very special night. [awwww]
 
But anyway, there I sat at the table with my two drunken friends and a Corona bottle in hand. "Damn men!" we would exclaim to the skies above, "Damn them all!"  Then we all busted out with a Vicente Fernandez song… or was it Ramon Ayala? I can't remember. Anyway, so there we sat looking all disheveled and desperate when this young guy walked up to me and asked if he and his friend could come sit at our table. I took one look at this guy and was completely mesmerized… by his friend.  So I said to my friend, "Move, slut! He's sitting here."
 
Okay, so I really didn't say that… in those exact words.
 
We chatted and knocked back a few drinks with these two guys for awhile. Eventually, he asked me to dance, and we hung out for another hour or so. He asked for my number, and I reluctantly gave it to him even after he admitted he was a few years younger than me and was also FROM Delano. (GAH!)  [But that's another story for another blog.] I decided there was no harm in having made another friend, right, especially since I thought he was cute!
 
Anyway, he called me the very next day and asked me out on a date that night. We decided on a movie and he let me choose. And do you know what I chose?? Come on, guess!…………. It was Shrek 2! Hehe… [Man, I HEART Shrek!]
 
And so a love story began on May 22, 2004 with Shrek and me. Ha! I kid! A real love story began the day I had my first date with my honey boo, butter biscuit, sweet Edge. And how lucky am I that we get to commemorate this day with Shrek the Third?! It's fate, my dear friends. Ha!
 
Of course, we weren't exclusive from day one, and there were lots of doubts, questions and mixed emotions that came into play with age and my previous relationship, but we overcame that eventually. May definitely is a special month for me, though. I met a wonderful and sweet person and we had our first date. I had no idea how much my life would change. I went from being depressed and heartbroken to meeting and ultimately falling in love with my best friend. There's no one more perfect for me.
So here's to Shrek! [clink] Watch it! And think of my Edgie and me!

(Jiggler? Is that even a word?)

 

Yesterday I was on a mission to find a good pair (or two) of exercise shorts. How dare I even shop for shorts! I swore off shorts over a year ago after one day I awoke to find that I was… dun dun dun overweight! I’m thisclose to swearing off short-sleeve tops as well, but the only reason I haven’t is because I can’t afford to replace every item in my closet with muumuus. (sigh)

 

Anyway, I was lucky enough to find two pairs of shorts yesterday, now if only I could muster up the courage of actually sporting them. Sheesh! I had no problem wearing shorts when I was an itty bitty size 2/4, but let me tell you I’m definitely not a fo’ no mo’!

I really needed to buy these shorts though. I’m the only girl in the whole gym that I frequent that wears long workout pants with a sweater wrapped around my waist to cover up the jiggly boo-tay! (As if that’s not going to attract attention to the rump that’s suffocating underneath all that clothing.) Not only that, how long can I really last with a sweater in this Bakersfield heat!?

 

Seriously, there are so many people at the gym of so many different shapes and sizes, but it seems like no one at that gym, no matter how overweight they are, have a backside that bounces when he/she runs. Not to mention, one that is nearly as wide as mine. Once upon a time my booty was a cutie, but obviously I failed to see that since I was a young, unconfident, insecure girl. Now I’m just an old, insecure woman who wishes she looked that way again. Sheesh!

 

Nevertheless, I am going to attempt to wear the shorts today… or maybe tomorrow. I just really hate to put these portly, flabby, cellulite infested thighs on display for the world to see. How could I torture the poor souls on the elliptical machines and stationary bikes behind me? And how do I get rid of my security blanket, or in this case my security sweater? The torture! Maybe this will be the motivation I need to get serious about my weight loss. Okay, that’s it. I’m dropping the sweater and getting into a pair of shorts. Aughhh! Wish  me luck!
