I’ve been feeling sorry for myself lately, for no good reason. While I was at the gym this morning, I was blatantly, overtly flirted with by a very pretty woman. Everyone likes an ego boost, right? “Hi, my name’s Jen, I see you here a lot, I know you’re married, and so am I and I’m a good wife, but if there ever comes a day when I want to be very very bad, I’m going to want you nearby, ok?” ---

Today was a generally crappy day, so I ate a chocolate chip cookie with dinner. Holy crap, I forgot how damn _good_ something as simple as a cookie can taste. I also realize why I usually deprive myself of them; if I were to eat a cookie every time I wanted one, I would be…large. But man, that was a good cookie. ---
