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 ....
I can pretty much adopt your 3 (although don't wear a bra at *all* if I can get away with it). My #1? A day when I don't have to leave the house. Doesn't happen very often. :-/
ReplyDeleteYes, that one too. I'd look forward to a day at home by myself doing nothing that's on my to-do list, but it happens so rarely.
DeleteAnd I have to say it's good to know I'm not the only one whose blogging schedule is erratic. If I had more of those not-leaving-the-house days, maybe I'd write more!
ReplyDeleteI would love to write more, but then I'd have to give up my down time watching an hour or so of TV, which helps me get to sleep. I know there are people who get up 2 hours early to write, but I can't live on 4 hours of sleep a night. Also morning. Yuck.
DeleteI'm with you on #1. Currently also looking forward to: fall, travel, retirement, moving. Also look forward to getting up every morning - no matter how damn early...LOL!
ReplyDeleteYou have some big plans. I admit I envy your travels. I wish I could do more of that.
