Friday Follies

1. I need to be less awkward in life and maybe work on my game for the ride home on the train earlier this week. The hottie that came and sat by me didn’t get a wink from me. Or sexy eye contact. Or a witty comment or two. Instead, he got whacked in the side of the leg as I had to shift in my seat to make room for more people.

I have no idea why he didn’t want to chat me up.

2. Rainstorms at night are much less fun to try to sleep through now that I sleep on the top floor of an apartment with a tin roof.

Sure, there are worse things. But tell that to sleep-deprived Amy. Just go ahead and try.

3. I’m running a themed race next week. My friend from St. Louis is helping me with this because I have no access to the exact thing I want to wear and she does (you’ll see). Now, the entire el car I rode last night knows my measurements and bust size. And maybe my displeasure with how there’s more junk in the trunk and a lack of anything substantial “in the front”.

It wouldn’t have been so bad had our train not been delayed for 15 minutes on the tracks… just sitting there… STOP LOOKING AT ME!

Wow, I am super awkward.

4. My taste in classic literature has been a bit on the snarky side of things these days:

I’m just finishing up “Me Talk Pretty One Day” and just starting “Jeneration X”. I’ve read several books by both David Sedaris and Jen Lancaster. The sarcasm kills me.

David Sedaris makes me feel better about being an awkward individual.

And I want Jen Lancaster to be my BFF. She lives here, so I know she’s totally going to give me a call so we can hang out.

Patiently waiting…

And waiting…

5. There’s much to be done this weekend, including a long run in the morning, so to prepare, I’m doing my usual Friday night in.

Thank goodness the wine glasses are clean.

One of the few things that are around here.

Ah well. Another thing to tackle. Tomorrow.

Have a great weekend, everyone!
