The sun is shining a little bit better. I’m in a better mood….if only because an email from boyfriend, and a chat with Julie, made me realize….that somethings aren’t worth getting your panties in a twist over.
And then I realized..I have much to look forward to! An impending trip to visit old friends in Boston in a month, two baseball games, Gold Cup, the birthday gifts that keep flowing in, a trip to CT and another trip to Boston for a wedding in June! I am going to be busy busy busy!
Also, a girl in the gym (it’s kind of weird to meet people when you’re half naked in the locker room don’t you think?) noticed me from around the halls of our building and said hello. Next time, perhaps I’ll ask her out for coffee. After all who doesn’t love a mid afternoon starbucks break. It was weird yet flattering, that she said to me “i see you all the time!” Hmm, guess I’m noticeable?
This was after my “workout” which consisted of sitting in the jacuzzi for a half hour reading. Because really? I just didn’t feel like swimming with my hunger pains. But I do feel twenty times better and that’s what really matters.
In honor of my better mood, and since I love the “it’s okay…” articles in Glamour…I’m going to do my own…”it’s okay.”
It’s okay…
…to not work out because you just don’t feel like it
…to be bitter about things that happen to people you don’t like, just don’t dwell
…to buy one more thing just because it’s still your birthday
…to celebrate your birthday for an extra day/week/month – just because you feel like it
…to eat birthday cake for breakfast just because you feel like it
…to not go to the gym on your birthday…or the day after
…to push snooze just one more time. Just because.
…to choose not to be friends with someone because you just don’t trust them anymore.
…to not have to explain or justify every single decision you make
Also! I want to thank Tipp for the award she bestowed on me the other day. How awesome is that?
Now, I shall bestow it upon the following:
Julie @ WTF have I done?! – she puts up with so many of my rants 
Julie @ JQ Lounge (I’ve MISSED YOU! Welcome back!!)
Heidikins – because she’s running her first half marathon (hopefully?) this weekend and I think she’s pretty bad ass. She helped the cops end some high speed chase, unfortunately at the expense of her car but still! Bad. Ass.
Caitlyn @ Caitlyn in the Rye – because she and I , at some point this summer, are going to bond over beer. and baseball. and what’s better than that?
Trish @ Trish’s Dishes – is coming to DC on May 6th on a book tour! CAN. NOT. WAIT!
Jamie @ Oh! How lovely – have you seen her puppy?!
Jenn @ Free and Flawed – she’s just awesome
My day, just ended on the best note with a great email from one of my bestests back in Boston S, who finally wrote to catch up I need to call her, I miss her dearly and really hope we can schedule a reunion in May 
Greatest group of pals ever.
*sigh* Happy 5pm..excuse me…6pm! I get off work at 6. Not five. Devil office. Yes this post has taken much of the afternoon to write. Oh well!
