Okay, so here's the thing. I don't have much of anything going on. I keep saying I'm going to do stuff, but the week goes by and I haven't done much. I do have excuses as usual--such as the fact that I was insanely busy working my last week of working preschool, only to jump into house/dog/cat sitting and working my other two jobs.
And since I'm house/dog/cat sitting, I have access to more than seven channels on tv, so I've logged a few hours watching reruns of House and watching dumb movies. I even caught an episode of "Saved By the Bell: The College Years" which is arguably the worst show ever made. Okay, so I'm pretty sure that award actually goes to "Yo Gabba Gabba." ...or "The Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters From Beverly Hills" (I promise that's a real show--it's too horrible to be something I just made up).
So yeah. I'm a loser who has nothing to show for herself this week.
OH WAIT! I did write two songs. Complete with music. Yay me (not really)! One of them I think is probably the best song I've ever written--but by next week I'll probably find something I hate about it. I mean, that's usually how it goes.
Also, with this week being so weird and stuff, I've let my diet/exercise slip completely. I had a minor injury to my back on Monday (leaning over to pick up a toy...I'm like an old person), so exercise has been out. And I wanted to eat pasta and cake and ice cream...and pretty much everything else in sight. So I did. And my pants are very snug now...
Boot camp starts tomorrow...theoretically. Boot camp will hopefully include a return to a regular exercise routine with lots of sweaty running (I'm SO excited the weather forecast is calling for temps in the mid 90's...ugh). It will also hopefully include a return to a strict 1200 calories per day diet. It will hopefully also include some actual DISCIPLINE in my writing life. I have got to send out some queries. I mean, it's kind of hard to find a literary agent if you're not sending them anything to let them know you exist. I also need to get some guts and make some progress with this song project--at least I think I do. If I keep writing new songs like this, I might need to make plans for TWO upcoming cds....
Hmm...either way, I will eventually need some guts. Do they sell those at Wal-mart?
So pray for me as I try to get my act together. The Ruth version of boot camp is not like real boot camp (my version includes LOTS more procrastination, whining, and general lameness), but I'm still pretty sure I'm not going to like it a whole lot.
