I can't believe how beautiful it was outside today. It is mid January and an amazing 63 degrees outside. I took off early so Bailey and I could go to the dog park and I did about 1.5 miles of walking up and down the hiking trails as Bailey went after the squirels.
I had a very nice talk with a man who was walking his dog. He was very sweet and friendly. Unfortunately, very married. But his dog is a hoot and I enjoyed watching him run thru the woods.
I was considering going out on a date this weekend with Kamran. He is a guy from match.com who contacted me yesterday. Unfortunately, I spoke with him on the phone for a few minutes and I think he is lying to me about who he is. So, no date.
I think I will focus on chores and exercise this weekend.
I think I lost a pound, but so far the diet and exercise don't seem to be doing very much. Must try harder.

Monday Monday
So I am very tired, but after about 10 hours of sleep, I think I am back on schedule. Yesterday was a very grueling 12 hour trip home. Since we lost the last part of the trip definitely took a down turn, but I am still glad I went. It was my first football game ever and was a lot of fun.
The weather wasn't bad considering it was winter in Seattle. It did rain, but it wasn't a soaking rain and it would take occasional breaks. It wasn't really that cold either.
On Saturday morning I woke up and went down to the hotels gym and worked out. I ran two miles and felt very good for doing so.
I was invited to go by my friend Mike. He is one of the first people I met when I moved to DC and we went on one date that never went anywhere. Frankly, I was excited to be able to spend some time around him because I think he is fun and cute. Now I know he goes for the playboy type of hot girls, but I was kind of hoping that maybe we could at least have some playful flirting or something. Well, it turns out I am not even attractive to him to consider a FWB relationship with. Not that I was going to sleep with him, but it has been a long time since I met a man who thought I was so ugly that he wouldn't even consider casual sex. I mean, won't most men sleep with a snake if they can get the head to be still? So that's why I was so upset and am still very upset. I have officially been placed in the "too homely for any sex at all" category.
Well, at least I have to give him credit for being honest with me. But I have never felt so unattractive in all my life. Even my clothes started to feel all wrong. My fat seemed to grow three sizes in one day.
So I am back on my diet and exercise program and I want to see if I can lose 10 pounds by my birthday.

Cat Miracle Diet
Most diets fail because we are still thinking and eating like people. For those of us who have never had any success dieting, now there is the new Cat Miracle Diet!
Except for cats that eat like people - such as getting lots of table scraps - most cats are long and lean (or tiny and petite). The Cat Miracle Diet will help you achieve the same lean, svelte figure. Just follow this diet for one week and you'll find that you will not only look and feel better, you will have a whole new outlook on food. Six weeks will change you forever! Good Luck!
DAY ONE:
Breakfast: open can of expensive gourmet cat food, any flavor as long as it cost more than $.75 per can - and place 1/4 cup on your plate. Eat one bite of food, look around disdainfully. Knock the rest on the floor.
Stare at the wall for a while before stalking off into the other room.
Lunch: Four blades of grass and one lizard tail. Throw it back up on the cleanest carpet in your house.
Dinner: Catch a moth and play with it until it is almost dead. Eat one wing. Leave the rest to die.
Bedtime snack: Steal one green bean from your spouse's or Partner's plate. Bat it around the floor until it goes under the refrigerator. Steal one small piece of chicken and eat half of it. Leave the other half on the sofa,. Throw out the remaining gourmet cat food from the can you opened this morning.
DAY TWO:
Breakfast: Picking up the remaining chicken bite from the sofa, knock it onto the carpet and bat it under the television set. Chew on the corner of the newspaper as your spouse/partner tries to read it.
Lunch: Break into the fresh French bread that you bought as your part of the dinner party on Saturday. Lick the top of it all over. Take one bite out of the middle of the loaf.
Afternoon snack: Catch a large beetle and bring it into the house. Play toss and catch with it until it is mushy and half dead. Allow it to escape under the bed.
Dinner: Open a fresh can of dark-colored gourmet cat food - tuna or beef works well. Eat it voraciously. Walk from your kitchen to the edge of the living room rug. Promptly throw up on the rug. Step into it as you leave. Track footprints across the entire room.
DAY THREE:
Breakfast: Drink part of the milk from your spouse's or partner's cereal bowl when no one is looking Splatter part of it on the closest polished aluminum appliance you can find.
Lunch: Catch a small bird and bring it into the house. Play with it on top of your down-filled comforter. Make sure the bird is seriously injured but not dead before you abandon it for someone else to have to deal with.
Dinner: Beg and cry until you are given some ice cream or milk in a bowl of your own. Take three licks/laps and then turn the bowl over on the floor.
Repeat days one through three.
FINAL DAY:
Breakfast: eat six bugs, any type, being sure to leave a collection of legs, wings, antennae on the bathroom floor. Drink lots of water. Throw the bugs and all of the water up on your spouse's or partner's pillow.
Lunch: Remove the chicken skin from last night's chicken-to-go leftovers your spouse or partner placed in the trash can. Drag the skin across the floor several times. Chew it in a corner and then abandon.
Dinner: Open another can of expensive gourmet cat food. Select a flavor that is especially runny, like Chicken and Giblets in Gravy. Lick off all the gravy and leave the actual meat to dry and get hard.
There! It's simple and does not use exotic ingredients. Anyone can follow this diet - and the results after as little as six weeks are amazing!

On your mark, get set.... GO!
It's now 2006. Soon I will be turning 36 and continuing this adventure that is my life. Let's take a minute to review.
Life is good. I like a certain Richard, a man I will never have and need to get over. My home is wonderful and my business is doing well. I love my puppy and my friends. I will continue to work on the relationship with my sister and will try to spend more time with my family in general.
Looking forward I would like to see myself lose the weight I am carrying. I think it will do wonders for my self esteem. Kelly and I will get back to running tomorrow and I am going back on weight watchers today.
Dating has been more interesting lately. I have been meeting men who are closer to the type I can actually see myself with. It is still hard for me to meet men who only see me as a sexual encounter don't think they really get how bad it makes me feel to be told that I am not "relationship material". Even though I can't have children, doesn't mean I don't eventually want a family of my own. I just prefer to not think about every man I meet as a potential father of my children until I have determined if he is a potential mate for me. It's funny how often men go the other way around. Men who wouldn't think of looking for a girlfriend seem to hit this wall and suddenly they won't talk to a woman they can't marry and have little clones with.
Oh well. I am strong and doing well and maybe, just maybe, someone else will see that and love me, even though I am mildly crazy, sometimes difficult and very independent.
