the awful truth
my sister sara (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
solarfields) told me today that 'you look good for someone who's 45',not long after i mentioned that i feel like i'm 60 with my silly problems with circulation,stomach,etc.
yes,even with my fat little tummy. i'll take compliments whenever i can get 'em.
sara and rachel,my other non-fundamental sister, came over today to hang out. my social life for the week's vacation. bless 'em. they're cheap dates and they didn't care (or at least pretended not to) that i didn't tidy up as much as i wanted to. i'm lucky that two of the most interesting people i know are my sisters. we talked about how boring everyone else is.well,with some exceptions. if you're on my lj friends list,chances are i find you interesting. maybe i should put something on my bio about what a snob i am. no,i'm not really a snob,just very very very easily bored and since boredom tends to invite melancholy,i avoid it like the plague. hence,my love for books,music,movies and fooling around on the internet,especially livejournal. interestingly enough though,i like books,music,movies,and other people that inspire me and not just escapist stuff. it's like i go on mental vacation or a hero's journey so i can come back and save the world.
i still want to find the cure for depression so i can not only feel a hell of a lot better myself a lot more of the time,but also so i can help other people do so as well.
so anyway,rachel is notorious for just poking around and looking at everything. granted,since my place is filled with stuff to read,watch and listen to,and since i have eclectic and superb taste,and so does she,it's rather understandable. sara is interested in my stuff too,but she's less likely to snoop around.
i'd already had lunch,because if i'd waited for them,my blood sugar and my wacky stomach acid would have made me sick,so when they got here they decided they wanted to go to the restaurant down the street. it was nice...we can and did walk there. it was a gorgeous day today. so i went and ordered dessert,which i almost never have in a restaurant,because a meal and dessert in such a place is too much food for me to eat in one sitting.
after that,we came back here and watched some episodes of michael moore's the awful truth which a guy from worked loaned to me. i don't agree with all of michael moore's views,though i do with a lot of them,and i love his audacity and ability to get attention. plus,he makes me laugh.
after a bit,we went for a long walk in the cemetery down the street. a lot of the trees have just turned and they are so gorgeous. a couple of maples have mixed red and yellow leaves. when i was growing up,we had four fairly young maples trees (not much older than myself) in our front yard,and they were beautiful in the fall. we had to rake a lot of leaves,but we stuffed clothes with leaves and made our own scarecrows. and of course we had to jump in the leaves too.
so,we had a nice long hike. and then we came back and watched a few more episodes of the awful truth.
yes,it was a wild time! ah,well,probably the best thing is the interesting conversations we had. neither one of our parents is very intellectual.i have no idea how three of their five daughters ended up being such eggheads.

Not bad!
I hope you know I meant that as a really GOOD thing and not a bad thing! I've seen you at many different weights, and when you are skinnier than now you seem to have sunken in cheeks and are a bag of bones! Today Rachel and I both thought you looked GREAT (it was the first thing Rachel said she noticed) and most women your age I think woudl kill to have such a womanly bod. Bravo!
real women have curves?
seriously,i appreciated the compliment. it brightened up my day. of course hanging with you and rachel did that as well!
: )
p.s. i spellchecked and i'd spelled voluptuous correctly! it's a gift,as you know...
