I smell like chlorine. It seems like it doesn’t matter how much I shower, after 15 years of teaching lessons and swimming, the smell has just settled in my skin. When I get wet it smells like chlorine. Lick me, you’ll smell the pool. I got up and swam with Susie early this morning. I love waking up super early and going to the gym. I loving feeling that by 8 am I have already accomplished something. I love how relaxing it is as my muscles stretch with each stoke. I love how water surrounds you and protects you and how easy it is to get lost in your own world while you swim. After we swam I showered and through on a dress and some sandals and went into work. But a coworker walked by and said “Does it smell like the pool in here?” Heh. That would be me.

As I was typing this Tim the FedEx man came by. It’s been all awkward since I told him I didn’t want to go out. I am sure most of that is me, but some of it is him. Because he always reminds me that if I change my mind he would love to take me out. And today he said “you could be my baby” It was hard not to laugh in his face. Because I can be a bitch. And because that is a HORRID pickup line. No wonder the man is still single.

There are a lot of homeless men out these days. Susie and I drove by one last night that had a big sign that said “trapped in the land of oz, please help”. It was on a piece of white card board and drawn in four different colors of markers. I don’t get it. And once again maybe it’s because I can be a bitch, but HELLO. If you are resourceful enough to find clean white cardboard and FOUR different colors of markers you are resourceful enough to walk your ass to the YMCA homeless shelter where they will FEED you and help you find a JOB. Be a man. I don’t feel sorry for you and you can’t have a dollar.

My trip to the science museum with Greg got canceled on Sunday. Stupid mother’s day. But he just walked by my desk and asked if we could reschedule for Saturday. YAY! I am totally going to go see dead bodies this weekend!

Who decided that leggings should be back in style? Seriously. I walked by forever 21 and apparently styles haven’t changed since I was in middle school. The 80’s are back. Why? They weren’t that cute the first time around. And trust me I was all about the leggings and the short skirts back in the day. I loved them. But I also loved pegged pants and banana clips and sticky pink lip gloss (ok so I still love the lip gloss). It doesn’t mean they should be relived. (Ironically as I was typing this Irene Caras What a feeling started playing on my media player. Heh)
