A day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich
-- NOT--
Lesson # 14115
I do not know what is going on but along with the changes I conciusly made in the beginning of this year someother things have changed that I had not planned on but which just seem to happen. One of these changes is my reading, TV watching and movie watching habits. I am not sure what I am doing with my evenings but I no longer read or watch TV/Movies nearly as much as I use to. I keep renting movies keeping them the total check out time and never watching them. I have rented "The Red Violin" twice now and havn't even stuck it in the VCR yet. That is a total of ten days and eight dollars that I have waisted. the same is true of things that I tape from the TV but never seem to get to. This is new for me. And lastly I seem to go to the library find a number of books that look enteresting, check them out and never pick them up again other than to return them. This has happened several times lately and is getting old. I normally read three or four books a week and I am down to about one a week. This is definately weird. Fortunately I have been keeping track of the books I check out but don't read so that when I go through a dry spell I can try them again. my list though is gettting quite long.
I have been talking a lot more to both Charles and Andy lately. They both have found new love interests and are quite talkative about them. Andy and I exchange e-mails every day and talk on the phone nightly Charles and I have been instant messageing a lot lately. I have yet to hear from either of them this morning. Andy went to Iowa to see his new beau and I went to brunch with Charles and his new guy yesterday morning. Though he was fairly young, in is early to mid twenties, he was quite nice. We seemed tohave a lot incomon and a number of things to talk about. I realy liked him. I am not sure how much he and Charles have in common or how strongly Charles feels about him yet but I did like him a lot. We'll just have to wait and see.
I hope to hear from Andy this morning about his beau. If not we should talk tonight, He as been anticipating this trip all week long.
On saturday Charles and I went for a quick trip to Ward Parkway Mall, It really has gone down hill lately. we went and got the things he needed and I got an additonal new pair of paints. I have now bought six pairs of pants in the last week and a half. all of my clothes have stopped fitting me since I quit smokeing and i decided to replace all of my pants at once, I was tired of being uncomfortable. I now have enough new summer pants to last a while. Hopefully I will loose a little of this weight and be back down to a size that doesn't embarris me by winter. Even then I still need a whole new winter wardrobe of pants. I will try to plan to have the money come fall. Buying the summer pants came at just the right time, I was able to buy during the Fathers Day sale. I will have to scout out the sale dates for the fall so I can buy at the right time then too.
