I went to a play tonight with some friends. Came right home after and changed out of my going-out garments into a summery dress I would never wear out and nothing else. Poured myself a glass of Chardonnay from the box in the fridge and a light bulb went off over my head. (It wasn't painful.) I should write a rare blog post, and the post I should write is "Things I look forward to ...."
Easy.
Number 1: Taking off my bra. I'd add yoga pants to this one, but somebody once told me yoga pants (when worn in public) are "fuck me" pants. I don't want to give the wrong impression. There's nothing sexy about number 1. (See photo.)
Number 2:........... Number 2 ........ I got nothin'.
I turned on Netflix and started watching yet another road trip movie (Juanita, starring one of my long-time girl crushes, Alfre Woodard. Even Cher didn't look that good at her age). I love road trips, but I don't get to go on many so I watch road trip movies. A vicarious thing to look forward to doesn't count. Nevertheless number 2 finally comes to me. (Not that number 2.)
Number 2: Eating dessert. Next time I complain about being so fat remind me that I often only eat a meal so I can justify eating dessert. I'm pretty sure Alfre Woodard doesn't live for dessert. Certainly Cher doesn't.
Number 3: Crickets. As in, I've got nothin'. I have to have a #3, because my OCD dictates everything must come in odd numbers. Also, a list isn't a list unless it has at least three items. What the hell do I look forward to?
I watch some more Netflix. Juanita/Alfre tells her deadbeat kids to get their own shit together because she's going on a trip and then she fucking leaves and walks to the bus station. All I can think is what a mess her house will be when she gets back home. Apparently Juanita/Alfre didn't think this through like I would. I think I probably won't get to finish this movie because there's an hour left and it's almost 1:00 am and then it hits me.
Number 3: Sleeping past 7:00 am. That's a thing I look forward to. Even better, sleeping as long as I want without setting an alarm. That happens so rarely I can't list it.
That's all I've got. I think my list used to be longer and a lot more interesting. I can think of things I'd like to look forward to. (Hint: cookies.) But on a Friday night a 1:00 when I'll probably doze off during a road trip movie, this is all I've got.
What do you look forward to? Inspire me! Better yet, take me on a road trip. Just imagine ....
