Yesterday at exactly 5:00 pm, the world seemed to turn against me. You know that feeling where no matter what you try to do or who you encounter, things just aren't going to go the right way? Yeah, that was me. So I did was any self-respecting girl fighting the universe would do: I went to Pilates class. And actually, it seemed to work - well at least it gave me time to dwell on my aching legs and my burning abs (and the fact that I shouldn't have slacked off on doing Pilates a few months ago) instead of the obnoxious traffic and the fact that I can never leave work on time when I'm trying to get somewhere and don't even get me started on *deleted rant here*. The effect of this distraction has not been complete, though I can still feel that ab-burn (but only when I'm inhaling or exhaling) and the aching legs are still a bit achy. The world has been trying to get me again today, but tonight I will combat it with a force more powerful than Pilates: (drum roll, please) Yoga!

Posted by: Deacon Blues at January 18, 2006 04:33 PMAhh, the good old buttered popcorn Italian soda. It's been too long.
On second thought, maybe it hasn't been long enough.

I saw this sign this morning on my way to work: "Wake up with a Cookie Dough Latte."
Posted by: Deacon Blues at January 20, 2006 10:35 AMCookie dough latte? Do you think it has chunks of cookie dough in it like cookie dough ice cream does? Eww.
Yes, James, it's true: one part peach syrup, one part hazelnut syrup, with soda and a little cream - you won't believe it's not buttered popcorn (except it doesn't get stuck in your teeth).
Posted by: Christin at January 20, 2006 11:00 AMWow...live and learn, huh? But what do you wash it down with? I mean...popcorn and a coke, y'know?
Posted by: SonofThunder at January 20, 2006 01:10 PMThat's the beauty of it: you don't need anything to wash it down with.
Posted by: Christin at January 20, 2006 03:30 PMChristin, I am very impressed that you deleted your rant. That's some restraint there! Yay for happy bloggers! :)
Posted by: Wondergirl at January 23, 2006 02:38 PMIt wasn't easy, but I've learned the hard way that some things shouldn't be aired for everyone to see. It sure feels good to type it out sometimes, though. I have several unpublished rants sitting in my blog archives.
