Sophistication and Sabotage

Sophisticated?

Okay so a few of you called me sophisticated after my last post. WOW! I never thought I would fit that bill. I have read a lot but I don't consider myself super bright and certainly not sophisticated although don't worry, the suggestion didn't offend me.

I just like to read, that's all. I have read plenty of unsophisticated garbage. Once upon a time my favorite author was VC Andrews. I think I read the Flowers in the Attic series 5 times in its entirety.

Also, some of my most cherished books are Children's Literature. That was my favorite class in college because I got to sit and read children's fiction all day. I love Newbery Award books and I plan to own all of them in hardcover someday. I know they are written for 10 year olds but I have never stopped loving them.

I just like words. I like to talk. I like to read and I like to write. I fantasize about being a writer someday. Just a childhood dream that I could never quite shake but I know that the reality is that I am just a HUGE fan of the art.

Sabotoged!

And now for Seth's sabotage of my "look hot for the Dells plan". I thought we were going to Wisconsin Dells in late April or early May but Seth and his buddies just decided on March 12th. I don't think 2 weeks is enough time to get bathing suit ready so I am going to have to go with the fake tan look instead.

I thought about using this as a way to abandon my get in shape plan. I also considered my exhaustion from caring for sick children all week as a suitable out but I am trying to stick with it. Honestly, if I give in to my excuses this week I will find replacement excuses next week. So I've been on the treadmill twice and at the bar once. I still have to do each one, one more time this week. It looks like I will be pulling double duty tomorrow to stay on track.
