...how to deal with the loss of about two extra hours of sleep, last night, because i insisted on staying up and watching a movie i had already seen like 40,000 times.
...how to find a really good, really reliable, really affordable person to cut my hair. i seriously have not had a hair cut in a whole calendar year. yikes. AND i'm going gray...which is not all bad, because it kind of feels legit. also, i'm hoping i can go gray like emmylou harris in "the last waltz", and not end up with a streak here and a streak there. if it comes to that, i will definitely stop the attempt to age gracefully, and start being a bottle brunette.
...how to be a bitchy junior high girl. i was fortunate enough to spend the better part of last weekend with a whole herd of the sweet ones, with a few of the sour ones thrown in for good measure. i kept my hands off their throats, and my thumbs out of their eyesockets. and when i met the sour girls' mothers, i understood everything. G-d bless and keep the sweet ones...and G-d bless the sour ones, too.
...how to be in two places at once. that one would be amazing, on several levels, and for several reasons.
...how to not sweat the small stuff. i mean, who really knows how to do this one? maybe tyler durden...
...how to avoid ever going to university hospital for anything, ever ever ever effing ever, again. ever. for any reason. unless it's to pick up my prize money, which will have to be at least two comma's worth of money (that's over a million) to make it worth the sheer hell and torment of being at that facility.
...how to not feel like a terrible person for reinforcing good and normal boundaries at work and at home.
...how to explain to people i love and adore that it's not always about them, that sometimes, in fact, it is about me.
...how to do grown-up relationships when all the feelings i am feeling make me feel like i am fifteen. and how did i miss the part where i was supposed to learn to do this in high school and college? was graduating in three years REALLY that important?
...how to have balls in all the areas of my life, and not just the areas that are easy for me to express myself assertively.
sounds like a reasonable list to ponder for Lent, while i'm giving up sodas, eating out, and doing at least one hour of yoga a day. right? right.
also, i'd like to make an order for rain, and less oak pollen. thanks.
mil besos,
rmg
