It takes balls to buy your girlfriend boots.

So I came home on Friday, totally pissed about the price of whole fish at the Grand Central Terminal Market - $40 for two whole fish! wtf? Are these fish then going to clean my apartment? Get rid of the bugs? Anyway, I came home, in a totally crappy mood and my boyfriend was waiting for me with these puppies! The boots that I had been talking about in a previous post saying I couldn't afford... How amazing is that? They made me ridiculously happy. Like way happier than you would think rubber boots with dogs on them would make anyone. They are sooo awesome!!! I am going to be the coolest girl at work! Bring on the rain!

BTW, major points to my boyfriend, not only for listening and remember something that I had been talking about, but also for walking into Macy's and asking a salesperson, "Where is the women's shoe department." That takes balls.

Rain boots and Endolphins.

First of all, I totally need to get an umbrella. This is ridiculous. I'm sitting here at work this morning and I'm almost thirty (I'm not sure what that has to do with this, but just putting it out there) and my Pumas are soaking wet at work because I don't actually own an umbrella or a decent pair of rain boots and it's pouring out. I figured, somehow, that since the subway is a half block from my house and then a half block from work, I wouldn't get that wet. Um... I have clearly overestimated my rain dodging skills. I am not good at that. Seeing as how slushy snow season is coming upon us in New York as well, I think I better get me some boots (and not the fancy cute kind that can't get wet... I already have those...).

Here's the problem, in Macy's last night I made a resolution to not spend any more money on clothes or clothes-like items this month. Now, if you're going to make resolutions about not spending money, Macy's is not a great place to do it. I think the zoo would be a great place to do something like that... you would look at all those naked animals and feel like, hey, look at that noble lion, he doesn't spend any money on clothes! He's not even thinking about it!

Because right when I made the resolution I saw a pair of yellow rain boots with little blue dogs on them. They were really cute. I did not buy them. But I have been thinking about them all day. See what's the worst that I could have seen if I was at the zoo? Maybe one of those awesome helium balloons? A big pretzel? An oversized lollipop? A lame ass pencil with a lizard eraser? I can totally resist those things, no problem. Damn it. I totally want the boots with the dogs on them. Woof.

In other good news though yoga was great today. It felt so good to get up in the cold and then get into that super warm room and stretch around. It was really tough, but I feel like I'm getting better at it and I just feel so f-ing good afterwards. Plus it somehow makes me feel more creative. I was taking all these notes on my novel on the train ride. I don't really care why it works, although I am interested - is it just that because I have all those endolphins flipping around in my bloodstream that I feel more confident and happier and freer to think creative thoughts? Hmm, something to ponder.

Discipline Lite

This is something my bikram yoga teacher said this morning in class. It's her philosophy regarding yoga practice - that she tries to be as disciplined as she can about the postures, but if she falls or whatever, she doesn't beat herself up. Discipline Lite. I like it. I feel like this applies to how I feel about my writing and exercise and things I want to do in general. Oh and also my overall attitude toward cookies...

The twenty minutes of writing a day has been really good for me and in general I've been finding myself more committed to revising the novel.

This has not been the best week ever, but there have been some high points, let's remind ourselves of them, shall we?

I spoke to my old boss on Monday. I love her. She's really really amazing. More of a mom figure to me than a boss figure really. Like a parent that you have no issues with. I miss her. Sigh. We are having dinner on Thursdsay night. I can't wait.

The new guy on our hockey team volunteered for every event in the "skills" competition for the hockey league. It's really cute, he's sort of like the new kid in high school who wants to be in the play, and design the set, and be in the stage crew. Or like a labrador retriever.... When you read his emails you can sort of see a tail wagging somewhere. It reminded me how much I love our team, no matter what happens. So we're not in the palyoffs, we're going to be battling for 3rd place on Sunday, and that's not too shabby. Especially when you consider there are 18 teams in the league... know what I'm sayin?

Stupid fight with boyfriend is over. It only lasted a few hours really, but those fights suck.

Feeling good about the writing, there's a lot to do, revision wise, but it feels good.

I really like my new boots. Everyone at work likes them too ; )
