Ten- not Bo Derek

I am at the end of a four day work stretch, 10-11 hours each. Someone died yesterday, got snapped at by a doc, literally. I am tired, but wanted you to know I was still here. I have been thinking about a lot. School is impending. I am trying to suck as much life in before I start the semester. It is like taking a deep breath before you go under water to see who can hold their breath the longest. Ahh to be

ten in the summer time
at the pool by grandma's house
and grandpa-in-the- garage, waiting
to make you a hamburger and the best red kool-aid ever
green grass
merry go round
finding the quarter underwater after the life guards blow the whistle
to get back in
blue skies
with white cumulus nimbus
running with cousins
with arms way out
circles until we fall
the raspa man with the mustache and smile
more quarters from grandpa-in- the- garage
to buy whatever color sno-cone
hide in the closet and hope mom and dad leave me here
just a little longer

Possibly, Joel and I are going to Fredericksburg Fri night for a music festival date night, I was wishing you guys could come too. We could all just bunk out at Steves. We will be back on Sat. Let me know. We could even get up early and hike the rock.

For example, I want to lose 5 pounds of fat by February 25th.

I spent hundreds of dollars trying to find that "quick fix" or
magic solution that would have allowed me to drop the desired pounds and have the perfect body.
The problem is that many do not follow through with their fitness plans and
thus fail within the first 3 months of starting a new fitness plan or routine.
