I get in the January funk of knowing the holidays are over, and summer is a long way away. I've tried to fall back on old escape routes-- new goals, new hair. I even found myself at a new grocery store yesterday just to take in a change of scenery. (Turns out Safeway is actually less interesting than King Soopers.) My dreamy distractedness has caused me to ruin two pans this week-- food burning as I mentally departed for Alaska, a new relationship, life on a boat. Good novels are the closest thing to escape I can get right now, but it's been too long since I've had an actual adventure.
In non-adventureland I had a major discovery. I told Greg I wasn't in love with him. Since then he wants to spend a ton of time together and buy me a lot of new clothes. I think I'll begin every relationship with, "Very nice to meet you. You seem nice. The kind of guy I could like but never fall in love with." That would certainly take the pressure off.

i am laughing out loud at the risk of waking the two midgets. i know a lot of guys who have used this method with raving success. some have even used it on me with mild success. go figure, i'm a knucklehead after all. always going for the bait of a challenge.
That's about where I am. After refusing his inquiry for a kiss he still wants to go out. And yes Safeway is no fun compared to King Soopers.
I think King Soopers rules! I remember walking in with Trista and she said, look at all the cuties... and of course I look all over and only see oranges.... cuties are oranges....bummer! I love your new hair color...and I have fulfilled a goal of mine for 2009...submit a note to one of my favorite and creative bloggers....getting lost in a novel and dreaming are GOOD things friend....
