a few times i've been around that track, so it's not just gonna happen like that...

don't deny it. that song is catchy...

i heard it the other day and thought about how old it was... and that made me a little sad... kind of like a teenager thinking that new kids on the block should be on the oldies station... when did that happen?

again, i don't have any one thing to write about... and i could easily write a lot about the following subjects... in fact, i bet i could present a stellar essay on "hollaback girl" if i had the time... nevertheless, tonight, i will settle for bullet points of the things that i will lay out there for discussion. (actually, i can't get bullets to show up, so i'm numbering the list instead... ugh.)

1. i have joined a society of sorts... we're called the "old lady club" and even though we haven't actually had our first outing, i'm sure it will be my favorite club ever... sort of the like the red hat ladies (who also wear purple, which i don't fully understand), but way younger... well, younger. this group of girls already bring a great deal of joy to my life... so regular outings will be a good thing.

2. i have heard the word swagger a good bit lately... and frankly, it cracks me up... it makes me think of this grey's anatomy with george and this old lady... but i'm not sure if "swagger" was the word she used... it's a funny word. and i always think it way more playful than the definition implies... i like it when people have a bit of a swagger.

3. i want to start writing a "single girl" memoir... i mostly just like the word memoir... but i really like telling my stories, and i think i want to start writing some of them down - whether it's in a blog form or something else... like stories about my dates... kind of like a love story that has no ending... an open-ended love story... i like that... only right now, it would kind of be a sad read, i think... :) i recently read this love story at thepioneerwoman.com - and it cracked me up... and it made me want to write some of my stories... i mean, who would believe the story about me going on a date with an ex-convict to look at christmas lights... (which doesn't even begin to tell HOW GOOD the story really is...) i've also been inspired by a friend of a friend who writes great dating stories... i mean, who couldn't use a good laugh at the expense of my hilarious dating history!

4. i would like to eat a good steak soon... it's been far too long.

5. i'm going to the beach (florida) this summer. i'm very excited about it.

6. i miss some friends who i haven't seen in a long time... why does life have to be so busy?

and that's it for today... off to work #2!
