Living in the Moment

Yes, I'm great at it...living in the moment. Right here, right now, enjoying myself. And I'm just as effortless with the excuses. Most recently, my wrist surgery.

I can't use it. I can't bend it. I can't pick up things, so I haven't bothered to keep up with what I'm eating. Makes sense, huh?

Before, when I was in better shape, I lived for the losing. I worked out hard to get that scale to move down. And now, I live for right now. Eat the cake for right now. Watch TV for right now.

It's T.I.M.E.

Looks like a boring death for me

Kinda nice to know I won't be suffocated though. I'd hate that.

You scored as Natural Causes from QuizFarm.com

Your death will be by natural causes, though not by any diseaese, because that is another option on this test. You will probably just silently pass away in the night from old age, and people you love won't realize until the next morning, when you are all purple and cold and icky. So be happy, you won't be murdered.

Even the fruit is looking good...

Today I'm going under the knife to have a ganglion cyst removed from my wrist. Anything that's ganglion isn't staying on this body.

The surgery's not the big deal. It's the abstinance. No food after midnight. No water after 7am. Although I went until 7:30am...I was dryin' up.

And the bad thing is....this place is covered up with food. There's home made fudge, cookies, peanut brittle, chips and salsa, nut mix, honey roasted turkey breast, and two baskets of fresh fruit. It looks like heaven in a basket to me.

Oranges, apples, bananas, tangerines, pears, grapes....give 'em to me!

Ridin' in a $175,000 Hummer

Last night as I was putting off getting on the treadmill until the very last second, an H1 pulls into my driveway. WHO IN THE....I'm thinking as my neighbor zips the window down.

He comes in and has a beer with me and allows me to ask all of the questions that a person driving a $25,000 car asks. SigOth comes in also wondering "Who in the..." and takes a seat. After a few, we need more beer.

Yes, we did. We all pile up into that big thing and hit the road. I'm wondering where my adult sensibilities are? I only wondered those things like, 'What if we get caught?" and "What if we have a wreck?" for a split second and decide to let loose and enjoy the ride. I have no ID on me, nothing to tell someone who I am.

It was fun. Powerful, even. To have no responsibility when you're usually the one that is sitting in that seat. If we have a wreck, I'll be the girl that wanders off into the woods along the interstate and finds her way home another way.

We made the loop down the pike, off the interstate at the next exit, to the beer store...and then a little diversion to see what this thing can do. Okay, the first thing we did was park on the sidewalk by the liquor store. I laughed out loud. I'm a teenager.

Then he pulls into my family's business center to do God knows what. I said, "Not HERE!" and we go to the next lot up. Did I mention that there's a 4' embankment that we climbed with no effort? Then we did the 60 degree turn. Amazing. The army guys must have a BALL in that thing. It was just like theirs except white with the kids that stole it inside.

I'm such a wild child.

Today, I'm 40 again.

But last night, I was 16!
