Tonight, i sit here eating a slightly freezer-burned pudding pop and contemplate my current options for battling loneliness.

Tomorrow night, i'm supposed to go see D. I would like to ask her to lunch and/or dinner for this weekend... even though i feel i have an idea what she will say, which leads me to thinking about my convincing arguments why one date is just what both of us need to get our feet wet again.

Last night, i met a lovely young woman on the treadmill next to mine at the gym. She's an advertising major who's currently working as a Hooters girl and kicks my ass on the treadmill. Her friendliness really added to her appeal, and being brunette and all-natural certainly doesn't hurt either.

And she went 70 minutes at a 15% grade. Wow! =^O

Almost certainly out of my league... almost. However, she was carrying on a conversation with me without running away screaming. I'll take the lucky chips when i can! =^)

I'm concerned about the next few days. Because of the holiday, the gym will be closed until Monday. My last chance will be tomorrow, so i'll be skipping out of work a wee bit early to get my shoulder workout that's due in.

I'm very pleased with how i'm looking... and more importantly, how i'm feeling.

And i'm a little disturbed that the 'h' key on my beloved iMac is causing me some grief tonight. Hopefully i haven't missed any here. =^\

Anyway, it is late and i have an early day in the a.m. so i'm going to wrap this and call it a night.
