Please Don't Come in Here

She sat on her bed, her short pixie hair sticking up in places they shouldn't be, chewing on her already ragged nails. She recalled yesterday's events. She was walking down First Street doing some window shopping. The streets were lined with shops, restaurants and cafes. She liked coming here on her days off. She couldn't really afford to buy anything but walking here and looking in shop windows relaxed her, helped her think. Sometimes after a day on First Street she would drive home with a feeling of hope. But yesterday was different. She was walking along, her mind a thousand miles away, just present enough to navigate through the throngs of people that day. The last thought on her mind was "Is there some sort of sale today or something?" before she saw him. He looked exactly the same tall, well proportioned slim muscular body, his dark brown wavy hair cut short and he was looking down smiling at a cute petite woman listening intently to what she was saying, holding her hand. She was frozen staring, her heart thundering in her chest and perspiration layered her forehead. Someone bumped her and woke her out of her stupor. She looked around for an escape and ran through the nearest store entrance. Please don't come in here. Please don't come in here. Please don't come in here. She repeated over and over her palms sweating, lungs heaving but felt they weren't actually getting any oxygen. She stared out the store window watching them walk by. No one else in their world existed but them was the sense she got as they passed. She waited until she felt the coast was completely clear, left the shop and walked gingerly to her car looking in all directions paranoid she would bump into the happy couple. Once in her car she felt safe, cacooned in her private sanctuary, she started it up and drove home tears flowing freely.

Sunday Morning

I woke up to sounds of my boyfriend in the shower getting ready for work and the song "Like A G6" playing on the radio. I jumped up on my bed and started dancing, pretending I was "Alex" from Flashdance and my dog Talon was Grunt watching me with his head cocked in a questioning angle. What a way to start my day...my blood pumping and a slight sheen of perspiration on my forehead.

Trying To Get Back On Track

Here I sit a dripping sweaty mess, gulping down Gatorade and trying to stretch this body that no longer wants to cooperate. I jogged/walked, well mostly walked if truth be known, a little over a mile and a half tonight. It is a warm night...whew! A lot of people in the neighborhood are taking advantage of the weather and are out and about strolling here and there and basically getting in my way. It's time for me to get back on the working out bandwagon. Being hospitalized twice within six months of each other is no longer a feasible excuse to lay around on my rotund derrière and then there is the Summer season quickly approaching. Enough said. I do have the tendency to be my own worst enemy. I can derail myself from my goals so easily. I need focus. Focus Allene Focus!

A Song I've Been Humming Since Sunday...

For some reason I woke up Sunday morning with this song swimming around in my head.  I hadn't heard this song in years so I looked it up on You Tube and watched the video and I've been humming this song ever since...it's so sexy.  Watching the video I was surprised to see a very young JLo.  I had forgotten she was in this video.

Caffeine Overdose

Thanks to the amount of caffeine I've had today, I am up at 2:08 am revising yet again the first chapter of my book. Ughhhh...when will it ever end!!!

Parking Space Thief

There is nothing more irritating than coming home after a long day at work and finding someone else parked in your parking space. All the way home after work I was imagining my nice warm bed and my cozy flannel pj's but no I'm at a coffee shop down the street trying to calm myself because all I want to do is throw a fucking boulder through the damn windshield of that stupid car!!!

iPad FYI...

For all of you who aren't aware...this happened to me this week and of course typical of me, I freaked out.  I have the iPad2 3G and earlier this week my iPad could no longer read my SIM card.  On the top left hand corner where it should be showing the signal bars and AT&T it showed "NO SIM".  That's it "NO SIM".  So I went into my settings and tried to access cellular data but it was grayed out, no longer in bold black letters.  Access Denied!    So what's a girl to do?  Well this girl called her brother freaking out...and he calmly told me to go to the Apple Store and have them check it, they will either repair it or replace it, it's still under warranty.  Off I went last night to the next nearest Apple Store because the nearest is closed for remodel.  Today I woke up with the sun shining and the birds singing a beautiful song, with my brand spanking new iPad tucked safely in my purse as I went off to work humming a happy tune.  The End.
