SBF2: Reboot boogaloo...wk of June 14

Hey, CP,

You're Awesome! Ka-pow!

did it work?

CP - I'm sure it will all work out. The worst thing that could happen is you have to go look for another job. While stressful, it's really not that bad, right? I hope you are able to take some time for yourself as well.

At the reunion, I didn't recognize many people - we only had 48 graduates in my class. I couldn't remember names (maybe I should have gone back through the year book before going?) I did see how people were doing. One person had died - I didn't know him very well though. The dean is still there. I really don't like telling people what I do - mostly because it takes too long. I'm a housewife (or as I usually put it a "kept woman"), who teaches the occasional yoga class and helps out her parents. It just sounds weird - I love what I do (or don't do ).

Today - Father's Day! - I'm going to get a walk in. I'm considering taking all three days off yoga (yesterday, today, and tomorrow) to let my body rest. I think it's a good idea.

Father's Day, boogaloo.

I have been through five drafts of my resume already this morning (I'm emailing back and forth with my "life coach"...who is also a professional resume puncher-upper). It's weird to see everything I've done laid out and made to look impressive. I have no ability (or I'm working on gaining the ability) to recognize that my accomplishments are impressive, but I'm starting to look like, "damn." on paper. I had to find and include vocal review sound bites, and they just look weird to me "voice of crystalline flawlessness" "voice of steel from top to bottom"? really...somebody said that about me? Cool quotes, huh?

Anyways, today is zumba, followed by a visit to the mean massage lady to loosen up the mostly unfrozen neck, followed by ice and rest, followed most likely (ugh) by another resume revision.

I get you on the "kept woman/housewive" thing, Mary...that's sort of my current role, as all of my work is invisible feeling (writing, research, etc...I sit home on the computer and in front of the occasional print book.) I am a woman of apparent leisure.

Revisions until it's right, boogaloo.:flowerforyou:

I am so stealing that "woman of apparent leisure"

Oh, btw, I would love for you to post something of you singing...

You know what, I've got nothing. I lost the tapes from my previous recitals in a nasty divorce, and someone who was supposed to tape Wednesday night got food poisoning and couldn't come. It's tacky, no? I keep talking about recording something (as all my demos are 10-15 years old and I have a vision for a CD) but haven't scraped together the funds or the energy to get the recording rights. Reason number 4,689 that I need a personal assistant so I can be a better woman of apparent leisure.

I agree with Mary on both counts! :happy:

Lazy day. Not much going on. I should be doing something. Right now I'm going to relax for a bit, then maybe I'll do something. Might go watch the planes again tonight...this time with friends.
I think we were called slobs in an indirect way by our neighbor, who is actually nice but a perfectionist. I was hurt by it but I think it's more because it's something I am self-conscious about. I know I am not a neat person and it bugs me. But I'm also not a high energy person, which I think also plays a role in it. A couple of years after we were married, we were having the owners do some work on our house. Apparently our bathtub creeped out the landlady so much that she came over and scrubbed it herself! :embarassed: That was embarrassing, BUT it wasn't messy because I hadn't cleaned it. The tub was already ruined and couldn't be cleaned any better than that! She scrubbed with bleach for an hour or more and finally gave up. So I may look like a slob but maybe we just live in slobby places. :laugh: I could go on. Anyway, I try but I am just not any good at it. So that is a new goal for me. I fall into the "woman of apparent leisure" category. No I'm really just lazy.

Lazy Sunday boogaloo!

Agreed on both counts as well! Well said.

it occurs to me that I too am a "woman of apparent leisure," at least for now! I've got a few more weeks off before the next job. I'm thinking of accepting a producer role on an NBC show called "Who Do You Think You Are," which is all about tracing people's genealogy. Should be interesting and I like the idea of not knowing where the travel will take me, since it is all based on which celebrity's history I'm tracing. Anyway, we'll see. I'm still waiting for the offer.

Vivia, I would love love love to hear you sing!

Okay, my Sunday is winding down here. Got a gym workout done early but I've been very tempted to dig in the fridge more even though I just finished lunch. I think I'm going to put on the iPod and HRM and go for a nice long walk instead. I've been slowly learning the trees and flowers in my neighborhood and I love it. And I'd like to get 500 calories burned today if possible.

Gah! I think they should do a "Who Do You Think You Are?" with regular people (like me). I am an adult child who knows nothing about her father's side of the family (despite my research skills..he's apparently better at running than I am at finding.). I personally think I would be really good TV finding out things about my heritage. I would cry like a baby on camera and be sympathetic.

Sorry, enthusiasm.

Also, I may steal your idea for a book of flaura and fauna of your area. I go on super long walks for my active recovery days, but I only pay attention to squirrels (I think they are hilarious).
