go explore those other women, the geography
of their bodies, but there's just one map you'll need.
yr a boomerang, you'll see.
you will return to me.
bright eyes

today might be one of my favorite days in a long time. last night at 12:20 i got an email from the love of my life, mr. jones. he commented that he knew i'd like the horse races, and that he tought i'd have liked the meadowlands. then he said how inexpensive it is to go there, and then..... "maybe we'll go sometime." MAYBE! WE'LL! GO! SOMETIME! i don't think this is a man who understands the gravity and the enormity of my hope. i swear i began planning our future together again. i am, however, remaining reasonable and conscious of the fact that those are mere words, and i expect to not spend my life with stephan, even though he's *the one*.
secondly, i went to the mall on a whim after katie canceled our plans for the day. i couldn't find ANYTHING in my size. i was discouraged, and i went to leave the mall. got a cup of tea (they have DISCONTINUED my favorite tea, iron buddha oolong!), and was exiting the mall via bloomingdales when i thought to myself that i hate ALL of my jeans, it's time for grown up jeans.. tried on about 12 pairs of jeans and settled on a pair of 7s that didn't have an obnoxious 7 on the ass (i get that it's their trademark, but it makes me look wide!) and that i think look good. i'll have to model them for some people before i commit since they cost $200, but i think i like them. i NEVER find jeans that fit. they're always a little too tight in the hips and WAY too tight on the waist. the jeans i got are a size 27 (!!) (YYYYAAAAYYY, i'm finally losing weight!) and they actually fit. they might be a little tight, but i'm told they stretch. i opened a bloomingdales credit card account and i'm getting 15% off my statement, so i'll save $30.
finally, the sunday newsday crossword is by my favorite constructor, the former crossword editor of the washington post. he is my nemesis, when i began seriously solving in 2004, i could NEVER finish his puzzles. he always seemed to be on wednesday, and at that point i wasn't even able to solve a newsday wednesday, let alone a nyt monday in under 7 minutes. so now i can finish his puzzles and i do them pretty quickly. i finished his last sunday (2-3 weeks ago) in about 28 minuntes, which is good for me on a sunday. i'm not really a speed demon with the puzzles since i have a little bit of a processing delay from when i read the clue to when it clicks. maybe someday i'll be faster, but these solvers online finish a monday times in 3-4 minutes, sometimes faster. i'm around 8 minutes on average on a monday. i finish them flawlessly in ink, but i'm not quite as quick. most of them solve online, anyway, and i prefer paper. i think the typing part saves a lot of time for them.
so yah, a beautiful so far perfect sunday. the last day of august, 2008. eight is great, right? today i am in love with the way things are laid before me.
and i'm hoping tomorrow brings the same.....
