I'm sending him ^^^ hugs today. ((( Iowaman)))

I hope my daughter likes her new school.

Things seem to be looking up.

I slept another 9.5 hours last night

I hope I am well enough to enjoy my school retreat this weekend

I am dreading an evening Board meeting I have

I'm happy to have stolen some time to peruse Pixies.

There are 5672943 unfinished items in my Outlook task list.

I got to mark one task as finished!






















It was the one I created when I was exhausted. "Check this task off as completed." :p

I managed to be productive and get in some lusty, dirty picture-style artwork this morning before coming to work, despite being lulled into blissful slacker complacency underneath my warm bedsheets for yet another hour.

The noodle soup I got from my neighborhood takeout joint for lunch today is loaded with red chili oil. They know I like my stuff spicy, but they were pretty generous with the stuff this time. I'm starting to break out into a minor sweat.

Scallops are suddenly becoming my new crack. It's called either hotate or kaibashira in Japanese and is very very tasty in Asian-style tapas or gourmet dishes. Order yaki-hotate if you ever see it on a menu and you're not allergic to shellfish. I got the cheaper fried Chinese cousin version at the takeout joint and I'm making them my alternative to cheap fried chicken wings (my previous crack.)

I went to the doctor
I didn't go and workout
I finally cleaned my desk off.

* Had an absolutely wonderful phone conversation with a friend that may have put me in a good mood until my 40th birthday

* Got sort of a slap in the face (not during the phone call) that I will use as motivation to improve my looks and hopefully my health. I've absolutely had it. I'm getting back to what IowaMan is supposed to be, not what the cystic fibrosis thinks I should be. That disease had better look out because I'm coming and I'm coming hard.

* Remembered what it's like to drive on icy roads.

1. I slept in late, and it felt good.

2. I'm hoping to have some quiet time tomorrow with the kids gone.

3. Things are headed up.

... a match? :confused:













:rofl:

I barely slept last night, thanks toa coughing fit that kept on giving

My team of 9 won our business simulation, ensuring me a good grade for my retreat

I am very very thankful that I get Monday off.

Now thinking of osuche getting off on Monday!

Watching the first major snow of the season

Listening to the eagles in the front yard screech!

1. It was a tricky drive, but I got to Boston and back safe and sound--with a very enjoyable lunch in between.

2. When I go pick up my son from his friend's, I'll be stopping at the gym to work out. Go me. :rolleyes:

3. I am feeling very..."comfortable" right now, and I hope it continues.

I read the entire Sunday paper today.

What's left of my chest is very sore from working out last night.

I'm very hungry...soup for lunch doesn't quite do it for me.

I managed NOT to fall asleep last night on the subway coming home from a happy, drunken night out...

The new waitress at my hangout from last night has KILLER hips...and the fucked up thing is she probably knows it...

Amy Winehouse is my new hero...how in the fuck did I miss this woman last year? She's a shameless libertine who revels in her vices and demons like I wish I could and have tried many many times, only to come back to the sobering reality of responsibility...and her CD "Back To Black" sounds like it's from another place and time from someone who doesn't look like her at all. Listen to it at your own risk and you'll know why.

* I really pushed myself physically today but I feel pretty good right now. Tomorrow morning may be a different story. :rofl:

* Got a bit of writing done today that I'd been absolutely blocked on for about the last five days.

* Craving Mexican food now more than I was this morning. :(

Worked my butt off at the gym

Was really tired afterwards

Feelin kinda frisky :loveshowe
