Secrets

Man oh man, what a weekend, and what a day today is. I’ve already gone into how this weather makes me feel, and I know I’m not alone here. Let’s just say that yes, the Hixx feels delicious.

So this weekend I really took care of myself. I went to the dentist to have that pesky crown put back on. Temporarily at least, as there are problems with the tooth underneath, but what does that matter on a day like today? Anyway, the fine dental hygienist worked hard on my teeth for a cleaning and they look better than they ever have. It’s truly amazing, it’s like having new teeth!

Then I went and bought THREE NEW BRAS. Lately I’ve been having some serious bra problems and just that little thing can ruin a whole day, while I push and pull and try to make things right and curse my poor breasts for not fitting in the bra I purchased for them. Now they’re sitting nice and cozy in their own little cups, they’re so happy.


Then I went and got my hair cut. It’s all nice and smooth and shiny. I really like my new haircut, but realized the second I walked out the door that basically I have the “Rachel”. Which is fine by me, it’s a good haircut right? RIGHT? Then we took little man to the vet and he’s all fine and good and managed to get about 80 treats out of the doctor because he’s so handsome. Which he is.

Saturday night I went out with my ladies for some billiards and drinks. So nice to hang with girls sometimes.

Sunday the treadmill came and this mofo is HUGE. We thought we could put in our back porch, but were told we couldn’t, now we have this behemoth in the dining room and it sticks out like a really sore thumb, but no matter, the machine is for my health, and I will love it whether small or large.


And then…and then, I watched The Secret. It was … okay. I wasn’t as impressed as I thought I would be. It’s VERY WELL produced, so it looks sharp and pretty. And they say all the things you would think they would say, but what really concerned me was the push for material possessions. They kept showing people “wishing” for bicycles and necklaces and it was just really strange. I can get behind karma, or good produces good, I know this and I think I even live it sometimes, but I find it hard to get behind wishing for a bicycle with all my heart and soul and having it appear magically on my doorstep.

But who knows? What do I know? Maybe it works? So I’m going to try it on a very specific thing that I want, it’s not a material thing, it’s a habit of mine I’d like to be rid of. So I’ll do my visualizing, and I’ll do my “feeling good” about it, and I’ll give it 100% and we’ll see what happens, I’ll let you know how it works, or doesn’t.

Then I’m going to wish for a million dollars.
