FINALLY, i went to the gym this morning for the first time in months. it felt great. did the treadmill for 45 minutes, and then 15 minutes of reeeally good stretching with big full breaths... god it was relaxing. i can see why people get into yoga, breathing deeply really makes you feel good. i actually almost took a yoga class this morning, to see what it was all about... but when i got to the aerobics room, the lights were out and everyone was in silence on the floor in the same odd pose, waiting for class to start... and i figured maybe i should rent a tape first and learn what the hell to do so i don't make an ass out of myself!
the rest of the morning was great... went to a local coffee shop and got a cup of coffee and read for an hour, then spent a chunk of time in the arts and crafts store. the b.f. got me the best valentine's gift yesterday -- a huge set of acrylic paints and brushes, plus canvas boards, so that i can start painting again! i used to be an acrylics nut in high school, and then it just fell by the wayside after that... so he got me the paints so i could start doing it again. it was so thoughtful. so i spent some time this morning getting an easel and more brushes. i already have 4 painting ideas, where do i start???
valentine's was nice yesterday, but pretty much what i expected. the present blew me away, but the rest of the day was, well, pleasant. no huge fireworks, just nice. being the slug i am, i fell asleep in front of "law & order" at like 9:30pm, and woke up for a bit of SNL and then we went to sleep.
i have to fly on tuesday to atlanta. i don't want to. it's my worst fear in the entire world (flying, not atlanta). and i'm sorry, but i really hate it when people just pooh-pooh it and go, "oh, it's an irrational fear. flying's safe." i know that, but don't make me feel like an idiot. how would you like it if, several times a year, you were forced to confront your greatest fear in the world??? think about your greatest fear -- snakes, spiders, your child being kidnapped, whatever. now imagine that several times every year, you had to handle a snake for 3 hours. or give your child to a stranger, not knowing if you'll ever see them again. you'd be a MESS. so don't downplay my fear just because it doesn't bother you -- i'm the one bravely confronting it, asshole. *pppfffttt*
