Time and Tide

Why don't I blog any more? What's up with that? That doesn't make sense. I should be blogging now that I have more time in my awesome new job.
Right, I should be working out more too.* Hmmmm ... I'm beginning to think that these things don't really have to do with "time."
Time is a tricky thing. It can be both too fast and too slow. It's never there when you need it. And yet you hate when you have too much of it. You can try to save it, but ... it's not as if you'll be able to use it later. "Oh yeah, I've been saving this extra time right here in my purse. Lemme just pull it out and we can use it."

People will even try to tell you to "make" time. Ha!

When did I get so old?

Yeah, you heard me. I got OLD. I'm not happy about this. I certainly didn't authorize it. This year I got together with the Bday Gals and I DIDN'T make a video. I think in some way, it makes me think that it didn't really happen. (Although it was a lovely birthday).

You know what's really making me feel old? The fact that I'm not doing anything with my TIME. It's just slipping away, to use a very old cliche, even though I never ever had a hold of it. "Hey, Time, I've got you in my hands and you feel slimy and squishy and alive, like a writhing eel. HEY! NO BITING!"

So ... this is the year that I'm going to do something.**

I'm going to complete one of the three following things:

1. Write a book.
2. Write another movie.
3. Get a boyfriend.

My hope is to pursue all three things, but I only need FINISH one of the three by year's end. Here's hoping. Time to fly.


*Incidentally, latest medical news: I have since gained 5 pounds from my weight 2 years ago, pre-trainer.

** In addition to the already-in-progress Kim Jong Il Experiment - My Own Cult of Personality. It's going really well!!!
