Aaron . . . Beauty? or Beast?

Can you say "Pain in every inch of my body, and I can't walk, laugh, talk, or let alone climb stairs at school?"

I hadn't planned on going into the gym on Monday. Somehow I didn't get on Aaron's schedule, and I had to meet a classmate for a little study group, but...Aaron called and said, "You're going to be here at 1, right?" What could I say? I guess I could've said no, but I really did want to go.

After hurting my shoulder pretty bad earlier this year, my workouts were not half as bad as they used to be. Mostly we just worked on my lower body, and getting my butt to "function" properly. Lower body stuff, for me, is pretty easy. But, alas, the shoulder is healed, and my butt knows how to function... what's left? Complete and utter TORTURE!!! Monday, Aaron had me run through a kind of circuit training thing that I haven't done in over half a year. I was on the verge of tears, and I was stupid and hadn't drank water all weekend, and I hadn't eaten since 6 that morning...so being on the verge of puking up whatever was in my stomach was not so far fetched.

Do you think Aaron cared? Absolutley not! That's his job I guess. I would say I couldn't do something and he would just take those pretty blue eyes and look at me, and then look at the weights, and back to me, and so forth, until I could stomach up the energy to pump out the remainder of my set. I had to ask...why was he being so mean to me? His reply? "I want you to be ripped, and this is how it's done!"

He may look really cute, but only when I'm out of the gym, and I think back on him. In the gym? He's the most insensitive, unsympathetic, beast that I know!

Am I Going To Die? I just got stung for the first time ever by a wasp . . . So far so good . . . I can still breathe, I haven't swelled up like a balloon, yet . . . But it hurts and itches like crazy!!! It's almost the end of the semester and I am completely swamped! Two projects, two papers, and three finals, all in the next 3 weeks . . . Somehow I'll handle it. I've actually all of sudden "woken up" where school is concerned. I've been in such a daze for like the last 7 or 8 months. The AOC has changed my life as I knew it . . . in good and bad ways!!! Bad because he takes up too much of my thoughts . . . and I need all the brain capacity that I can get!!! Somehow, after years of barely even talking to anyone at work, and only a couple of years of actually being a little more friendly with my co-workers, I seem to have been sucked up in "office politics" and I HATE it! I used to really like going to work . . . now I just want to quit!! It still...
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! Last night there was a costume party (aka Halloween Party...but some people don't celebrate Halloween?...so hence just being called a costume party) for the Union stewards at work...I'm not a steward, and I only just became a memeber of the Union on my last day of work in June...and only became a memeber because there were a lot of "things" going on at work, and I didn't want to be easily fired...however, the party was at a good friend from work's house, so I got an invite...I think they just really needed an extra kid...the party was kicked off by us watching the little girls, including Gabby, do a project...the project was to get this guy from work into his costume...they did his make-up...he was such a good sport about it and it was hilarious!!! Then followed up by lots of Malibu on ice. I threw together a cat outfit, by the way, for the party...I'll have to post the pics...kind of funny. Tonight I will be out amongst all the other pa...
Time to Share? I have a huge crush. I have a huge crush on a man I've never met in person. I have a huge crush on a man who does things that are very cool. Yesterday in the mail I got the book that he sent me...the book that he wrote...a book about all of his travels and adventures. The more I read this book, the less confident I start to feel about this being a possible "match". I have no idea what I can offer this older, more sophisticated, more worldly man. The biggest adventures in my life are grappling with 18-year old freshmen for a parking space at school, finishing a set of push-ups and pull-ups at the gym, or wrestling my daughter to the ground for a bath. Maybe I can teach him all about Sponge-Bob Square Pants? This is again one of those times where things seem too good to be true. The emails we send back and forth would suggest that there is a great interest and curiosity on both sides, and that something really good could possibly come from this!!! His ...
