zaftig

i am so tired. i wish i were a better napper. i am not good at taking naps on purpose, and when i just fall asleep on the couch or quelquechose comma ca, it never seems very satisfying because it was oh so unofficial. i had some of my favorite friends here visiting this weekend and it was really fun. last night we went to dinner at the safari grill in the davenport tower and told each other what we thought the best career for each one of us would be. i thought it was really fun, and i think it was also practical for me. BUT now i really do have to become a writer and/or open a center for overall nutrition and exercise help (is that the gist of it autumn? am i leaving something out?). it's nice when people you love and respect and who truly know you say what they think you would be good at because you know that a) they want you to be happy and fulfilled and b) they probably know what would make you feel that way. so i'm closing up the cookie shop. slash just baking cookies at home more often for my own enjoyment.

i'm about to go lie very still on the couch and finish digesting my cereal before i do my last pre-bloomsday long run. i do not feel up for it. but hopefully my good friend michael aussiello (sp?) will make me laugh and fill my mind with tidbits on gilmore girls and veronica mars via the weekly tv guide podcast. oh how i love podcasts. i will be so happy when project runway comes back and i can hear tim gunn tell me what things are inconceivable, zaftig, and worthy of being probed.

hi sarah,

i hope we didn't discourage you from your cookie shop. because i think you would be good at that too. but still my favorite idea is the center for health and fitness. I think you should start as a consultant and have rich people hire you and you can give them health and fitness makeovers. And then eventually when you've generated enough clientele you can open your center and have people come to you and you can publish quarterly newsletters. To do this you should study nutrition and dietary stuff, and also fitness stuff. you know what, forget that, you should be a life coach. well don't forget it but add to it- you could also help people with financial issues- like help them make a budget and reduce debt and learn to invest (this is where that book you have on the stock market comes in handy.) and you can help them with relationship and self esteem issues (so you will also need a counseling degree). and help them clean and organize their houses. and help them find jesus. Total Life Makeover. That can be the name of your center. What do you think??

haha - yes, total life makeover featuring organization and jesus. i'm not upset about not doing the cookie shop. it was never my dream really, it just sounded fun. and anyway, you can't stop me from doing it if i want to. i like the idea of your center. do you think people really want to learn about all of that stuff from someone like me?

i think i am probably going to take a class on writing magazine articles through sfcc. it is an online class that they are offering this summer. so first i'll teach everyone everything they need to know in my total life makeover center, then i'll publish their stories in national magazines.
