Very rusty at drawing. Trying to get back into the swing but need some practice.

Let me start this story by saying for personal reasons I have been feeling pretty unattractive and down about myself for the last few days. I was leaving the gym this evening when this man stopped me. I recognized him as being a regular. When you go to the gym a few days a week like I do you start to recognize your fellow regular gym goers because there is very few and most people you only see a few times before they disappear. I had never spoken to the man that stopped me but I often see him and he stands out because if he is not a model then he looks like one, he is a very tall very fit black man. So he stops me tonight and says "Excuse me, how long have you been coming to this gym now?" I say I'm not sure and he says "At least a year" and I say probably about 2. He then says "Well you can see the change, you look GREAT. Keep up the good work." I thank him and leave. I have been feeling so crappy lately and a complement was exactly what I needed. I know it probably seems silly to an outsider but it made me so happy that I teared up. It wasn't a pick-up line or a complement because he wanted something from me. It was for no reason and it was wonderful. I'm going to try and be more complimentary to other people because I often think good things about people I know, or even those I don't, and I keep them to myself a lot. This guy's complement really made my day and I would love to do the same for someone else someday.

Aaaaaaaaawwww, Earthquake!

On Holiday

I have no sense of time. I was at the CalMart downtown town for work this morning and I see this person walk in with a giant arm full of red heart shaped balloons and I think 'Is it Valentine's Day season?' After a moment I realized that it was the end of July and about as far from Valentines Day as possible. Last night I was cleaning the front of my refrigerator of a Christmas and Valentine's Day card so maybe it was in my head. Sometimes I have trouble remembering what month it is. I sort of wanted one of those balloons though, they looked so pretty.

I'll just sit and stare at my deep blue walls Until I can see nothing at all

I love Azure Ray's song "November." I am recommending it. It just came on my ipod at work and I listened to it three times. Um....that's all. Good music recommendation for all.

Gone Baby Gone

It was an interesting weekend, some really bad some good. I feel very fortunate to have been able to hang out with such lovely people at Jen & Alex's pool party and the Hollywood Bowl Gnarls Barkley show. Lets just focus on the good, and by good I mean this awesome dress I found at Goodwill and wore to the show last night. I love it and all its silliness.

Honey in my Tummy....and purse

I went out to eat with Lindsey last night and she gave me a jar of honey from her families bees. I forgot to take the jar out and it is still in my purse. Now I'm at work eating honey straight from the jar. Yummy yum yum....I am sorta gross.
