Bridget Jones's Mom
I went shopping today with my madre for a few hours, and I hope that it cheered her up a bit. I bought a new pair of runners for the gym, and her and I went out to the Macaroni Grill for dinner. We had a good time, laughing and drawing stupid pictures of dogs on the paper table cloth with our purple, black and red crayons. I'm sad to be going home. I've been working on my geography for a few hours tonight, and I still have a few more to go. I was productive last night, but then slept until two today after staying up so late. I'm beginning to think I can't win? I haven't heard from M for a few days - saw pictures of the resort that he's at online, and it looks amazing. No wonder he's not sitting in front of a computer somewhere. But I still check every couple of hours, just in case. I realize that this is just starting to sound like a synopsis of my day. I can't wait to go to the gym...I had a fit in the bathroom today because I weighed myself on Michael's little british scale, and I weigh 3 pounds more than Bridget Jones. I know that she's fictional, and that's not the point...it's just...she was always the one that we could look at and say - well, she's fat, but still beautiful! Now I'm fatter. It was such a sobering thought. I'll haul my butt to yoga on saturday, followed by a good swim. Followed by essay writing...will it ever end???
