I Admit It

i've been a bit of a dullard late, i get that. i haven't had a whole lot to write about. thankfully there is no work drama to report. life with the adorable one is fab. we're eating better and are finally, and i do mean finally, gearing up to go back to the gym as my cutie patootie has joined a flag football team.

while having type 2 diabetes hasn't made me the happiest camper, it has given us the much-needed kick in the pants to lose weight. i don't really know how much, but my clothes are definitely looser. and the weird part is, there are a lot of days where i pass the vending machine and i don't actually miss the little chocolate donuts i used to snarf at my desk.

i will say that i have been obsessed with two things:

1. thanksgiving

2. our trip to key west next may

i've always loved thanksgiving, to be sure. i am not even sure of why. all i know is that i love getting together with family (even my nutso family) and having a big ole meal of turkey, stuffing, and all the fixings. lordy do i love it. and i haven't been able to stop thinking about it--maybe because i'm gonna have five days off in a row and i'm more than ready. maybe it's because i just love the beginning of the holiday season when everything seems festive and everyone kinda lets loose.

and i'm not sure how i got infected by key west, but not a day goes by that i don't think of it. it sounds loopy, but i often wonder about the people we met there--what they are doing now, if they are still in key west, what their daily grind is like, if you can even call living in key west a daily grind. am i nuts to think that living in florida is more of a fantasy than what it's like living in a place like cowtown. sometimes i think i'm batty for the way i think, but there's a big part of me that hopes i'm right. that is, living in florida will be everything we dream it will be.

i wish i knew what draws me there, but i jones for the place. now, perfection would be celebrating thanksgiving there. dial me to nirvana!
