headachy wednesday

[supercheesegirl]

so today my responsibilities at work got a bit more involved. i was just doing the fax system and the account creation, but marlene's temp assignment in this office is about to end and she's moving to a different department. so i get to learn all about what she does (the beginning-to-end of the account creation; i was just doing the tail end of it), and next week she starts splitting her days between here and the other department. by mid-june, i'll be super temp, doing my job and her current job. it hasn't been wickedly busy here, which is why this is going to happen. i guess i'm glad--not near as much time staring off into space--but you know, i just can't get excited about having more actual work to do. i already have a headache from starting to learn the steps to the stuff marlene does (i feel like her cube isn't as well lit as mine, and her chair is higher so i have to squint at her computer).

this evening: i'm going to a water aerobics class for the first time. last night jorn and i went to the health club for the first time, and it went pretty well--i tried a hip hop aerobics class (the on-dry-land kind), and it was good, except i got tired really fast and then jorn was done his exercising so i decided to skip the end of the aerobics and explore the nautilus machines with him. but this health club offers water aerobics in their pool, and i'm really interested to try it. it might be really fun, and this is really the only way i'll be able to use the pool--i'm not a great swimmer so i can't do laps effectively. so last night i packed my little bag to take to the health club--i didn't even glance at most of my bathing suits, just quickly grabbed the safe one that covers my neck to my hips (seriously, it does). we won't think about those bikinis right now. maybe in a couple months, if someone invites me to the beach, i'll worry about that, but for now, no way.

things to do:
-make jello
-get father's day presents; get freud doll for samantha; send them with pecan log and other things to mom & dad
-plan and make a mix tape for missi
-mend the little tears in the orangey shirt, and stitch the hole in my funky purse
-pay jorn back for the groceries we bought on saturday
-ask jorn to sweep the kitchen floor and the bathroom
-post my movies-to-watch list
-stop by trc to sign up for direct deposit
-do some clothes shopping
-move files on disk from home to work
-reformat thesis; print surreptitiously, take to kinko's for copying, and send to folks

Yeah, babe, cuz when you come to the beach with me, you gotta show some skin. If my fat thighs are out there, yours have to be, too.

oops!

Not that you have fat thighs. I haven't seen your thighs. You know what I meant.

there's a passage in a book that elan has quoted to me a few times, about taking one's big ol' white thighs out to the beach. the author describes her thighs as being like Aunties, the kind of aunties you love but are always embarrassed by. and she describes baring her "aunties" to the sun, and how happy and free the aunties must feel to finally be let out. it's a great section, i'll show it to you when you get home.
