I never got my college degree. I do fine without one. But I'd like to go back to school someday, I'm just not sure what I'd go back for. So while I design logos today, I'm daydreaming about it.

I have apparently settled into my "personal comfortable 30's weight" The scale has been stuck at a certain weight ever since Aliyah weaned, it's a weight about 15 pounds heavier than I'd like to be (not overweight but just not where I personally feel the best). This makes me slightly grumpy because I eat pretty well and exercise a few times a week which means if I want to lose those 15 pounds I'm going to have to work harder than I want and to keep it off I'm going to have to be more careful. I don't want to be careful *whine. It's no deception that age and child bearing changes these things for women. HARUMPH

It's very surreal when an ex who you used to see as a bit liberal now appears practically a flaming fundamentalist. *edited to clarify - this is a change in ME, not my ex. From what I can tell, he's pretty much the same on the "conservative liberal spectrum", I'm the one who has changed ergo, my perceptions of others has changed.

Why not to partner with/marry/date or otherwise have any intimate relationship with an actor and how to survive if you already are. (yes I know, horrible grammar, but that's irrelevant lol)

...sometimes being the spouse of an actor (a leading man in particular) just sucks. It's hard sometimes knowing very little in your marriage is JUST YOURS. *sigh* It's been a rough couple days for me. (and it's not anything David's done, it's just the way it is sometimes)

I went to the gym today with my hubby who had some overtime to eat up (stinks when you can't get overtime - esp. around the holidays). I've been horrible keeping up with my yoga lately and I feel it. I've also been lazy about everything else. Anyway...the gym is a fascinating place for people watching. We don't go to a posh gym, it's basically the equivalent of an urban YMCA (we went to the Hollywood Y when we lived in LA and loved it, just regular everyday people exercising) so there is a diverse and interesting group of folks who work out there.

Rumor has it that they're going to be renting part of their extra space out to a medicinal marijuana dispensary which makes me chuckle.

The funniest people in gyms are the fashionable suburban moms who put on makeup and do their hair before working out at 9am (probably because they have to look nice when they drop off their kids at school *smirk) and the middle aged men with big biceps and equally large bellies. I'd like to suggest to you, if you are such a man, that you lay off the beer and chips, cut back on the barbells and increase your time on the treadmill...just sayin'. I would also like to suggest to the suburban moms that makeup is not good for your pores when you're exercising and that $200 yoga outfits get just as sweaty as the $20 ones. Again, just sayin' ;)

Aliyah threw up right as we pulled up to David's work but didn't get out of the car in time (coloring in the car is a bad idea for her apparently). Always fun trying to clean up a puke covered kid and a puke covered car seat with those crispy public restroom paper towels.

After stripping the kid and covering her in David's sweatshirt and my shawl we went home, got everyone and everything cleaned up (I hate scrubbing auto upholstery, it's like it refuses to be cleaned or something). Now that the car seat cover is dry and the kids are fed it's time to go to the library for books for Shayel's geology project, grocery trip to get Tgiving ingredients, picking David up from a short work day then to the gym.

I woke up this morning with the beginning symptoms of a head cold and it's been getting worse as the day progresses...sorry Heather :(
