Ramblings

Again, my day starts kinda sluggish. What I mean by sluggish is that it took me 30 minutes of laying in bed before my feet hit the ground running. I made the bed, got dressed in my bike clothes, grabbed a bottle of water, and out to the bike. Helmet in place, I flew down the driveway on my bike. The first half mile leaving my house is all down hill. I took a right and climbed the short but steep hill. I made it to the top without walking my bike which I feel is a great accomplishment.

Along the ride there is a beautiful spot where I thought, "If I leave an hour earlier tomorrow I could possibly see the sun rising over the valley." That means I would have to start waking up and hour ealier. I don't think it will happen.

Once again, I had to push my bike up the last forty feet of the hill to my house. I park my bike and can see the pool-pond. Shall I tell you now about the pool-pond or save it for tomorrow.
I take a dip for about 20 minutes. It is refreshing, and I am happy to be awake this early.

Upstairs I look into the closet. What to wear, what to wear? Where will I be today? Who will I see? Will it matter if I look presentable or not? Oh first things,first. Before I decide anything, I might as well get my priorities straight.

THE PUSH-UP BRA! Any bra, even the granny style, that I wear automatically falls into the push-up bra catagory. Over forty, I find that any thing will help. My sister and I went for a brief visit to see my brother and his wife who we will call W for wonderbra. Our 10-minute visit turned into a 5-hour bra fitting/info class. At his point we were informed what bras were really for. "To make you feel good about yourself. The right bra with the right shirt makes all the difference." That was 1 1/2 years ago. She says we should throw out our granny bras. I say the granny bras are quite comfortable. I paid $20 a pop for my playtex. So playtex or not, anything I put on will help me feel better.

Bra in place, I can now choose the right outfit. Ah these jeans. They feel nice, but according to Stacy and Clinton on the style show, I should not wear faded thigh jeans. "They highlight the leg and add the appearance of bulk." I look in the mirror and guess what? Could it be that my thighs really are big? I think the jeans make me look better.

I must admit that occasionally I will watch the "Why do you wear that?" Show. Sometimes I think they are blinded by popular fashion and the show is more about what they think. And do you think that some of it is hype? Noone really dresses that bad. AND THEN YOU SEE IT.
Walking out of the Target store, right in front of me is a mother with her two daughters. All three are dressed in tight sweat kinda pants. The daugthers were okay but the mother should have never been allowed out in those pants. She was not that overweight but the pants hid nor did nothing for her. Wait, they did highlight every crack, crevice, roll and pinch that she had.
Most of the time, I am pretty good about not looking to the outward appearance but to the inner. Some people just make that very hard to do.

What was I talking about? Anyway have a great day! Tomorrow I shall try to talk about graves and pool-ponds.
