chewed up

Chewed up by mosquitoes I ponder nuclear arsenals on bug breeding grounds.

Out late celebrating legality, I am sleepy on this day of much working.

Unsure of his plans for this weekend, I wait to know where I'll be and with whom. Tomorrow has arrived quickly.

Inspired by amazing people who are living their dreams, I'm working hard to make my own a reality.

Today we were given 1000 tubes of lipstick for an upcoming fundraiser. Um. 1000 tubes of the SAME color lipstick? That smells (& tastes) like licorice? Um. Thanks?

I played tennis last night. For real. With another person and a real racquet and he helped me with my swing and I was hitting the ball hard and it mostly stayed in! I did manage, however, to launch 6 or 7 into the parking lot. I blame my years of racquetball. It's hard work getting used to open sky and painted lines. Or just control.

I dreamt the other night of my grandma. We were in the dining room with my aunt and my grandpa, and she's hinting at some big secret. My aunt says, "Oh, I know! It's not a Special K bar, it's a Special GAY bar!" Implying that my grandmother was gay. Coming out after 60 years of marriage. She wasn't wearing her ring. And Grandpa just kind of shrugged.
