Late Night Confessions and Random Thoughts

October 9th, 2008 by Pamela

My first confession is that I had a Krispy Kreme original glazed donut tonight.  I know I didn’t need it, but damn it, I wanted it.  So I ate it.  My boss brought them in for us today.  I didn’t really have the extra points for it, and in fact, I had already dipped into my flexies today.  But it was yummy, I restricted myself to one, and I counted it.

Confession number two and random thought number one is that I really dislike exercise.  I mean, I really, really, really dislike exercise.  I love the idea of it, and feel great afterwards.  But during it, I usually feel like just passing out on the ground.

Random thought number two is why aren’t there ever cops around when they need to be?  Every night when I drive home from work there is a cop sitting on the side of the highway in a dark area with all of its lights off.  He’s just waiting to catch speeders.  Every once in a while they will catch someone.  But the nights when I get passed by someone going at least 80 (I know because I might be going 70) flies by me, are there ever any cops around? NO!

Random thought number three is that fall really is here.  It’s really getting chilly here at night!  It has still been in the 70s during the day here.  The sun is nice and warm, but the breeze is nice and cool.  Perfect kind of day.  I forgot to take my jacket to work tonight, so I was a bit chilly when I stopped to get gas on the way home tonight.  Note to self:  Buy a winter coat.  Last year’s coat wasn’t nearly warm enough and is now at least two sizes too big.  Did I mention that I got gas for $2.94 a gallon?  I still think it’s sad that that seems exceptionally cheap.

Random thought number four is that I watched a movie tonight that disturbed me on all kinds of levels.  It’s a japanese horror movie called “Audition” and I really don’t know what to think about it.  I think that maybe my friend/co-worker/fellow horror movie buff built it up a bit too much.  She said that she had read somewhere that if you can make it through and actually watch the last 15 minutes of the movie, then you’re a true horror movie fan.  Well, I must be a true horror movie buff.  I made it through those 15 minutes.  I actually thought the first 3/4 of the movie was kind of slow.  A few things in the movie worked:  the main character and his son were both handsome and you care about them, the woman who played his love interest creeped me out from the moment I saw her.  Other than that, during the last 15 infamous minutes, I sat with my mouth hung open, a crease between my eyebrows, and “WTF?!?” running over and over through my head.

Random thought number five is that I’m really excited that I have Friday off.  My entire company decided to close for the day.  Yippee!!

Random thought number six is that I’m also looking forward to Saturday, because I have a lunch date with two women that I used to work with.  One quit my company almost two years ago and I haven’t seen her since.  The other one moved to a different position within our company and I don’t get to see her nearly often enough.  Unfortunately, we’re going to the Cheesecake Factory and I’m wondering how I’m going to make it through that.  I’ll have to look at their menu again to see what I should go with.  Needless to say, I used to love going there and getting their four cheese pasta (heavenly yum), but I haven’t been since I started Weight Watchers.

Okay, I’ll spare you the rest of the random thoughts that might be going through my head tonight as my head can be a scary, scary place at times.  ;)

    One doughnut? Seriously, just one? That’s actually an NSV that you only ate one. :)

    I hear you about the cops never being where they should be. However, amazingly yesterday while walking at lunch and finding a stray yellow lab running in and out of busy traffic, and after finally getting him and tying my belt onto him, a cop appeared like an angel from heaven. I was never to glad to see a cop in my life. He took the pup in the back of his squad car and said he’d take care of him. Whew! It was better than seeing a speeder get a deserved ticket.

    Exercise - I hear you on that one. I agree 100% - I hate it! I think anyone that says they love it is just lying, probably even lying to themselves that they love. No one in their right mind would enjoy being physically in pain, and that’s what exercise is, nothing but pain and a lot of it. Nope, I hate it too.

    Today on my way to work as I was driving about 74 mph a black Mercedes in the HOV lane flew past me. I thought wow, he must be doing over 80, maybe even 90. That’s when I saw him, a traffic cop on the side of the road on his motorcycle, holding a radar gun. That’s how I know how fast I was going because I immediately looked down and thought ‘oh crap’ I’m going to get a ticket! Thank God for the idiot in the Mercedes. The cop took out after him. What was funny, the driver didn’t know the cop was after him and was trying to merge into my lane. The cop kept waving at him to pull to the left and eventually hed did. Finally, a cop in the right place at the right time. :)
