visions of blizzards

i miss opus. i miss his good, no-strings-attached hugs. i find that my stress level multiplies the longer i go without hugs. don't really feel like going hunting for some here, either.

sat in my hotel room last night writing down ways that i could go about dropping a few pounds. have been reading the fluff writing that accompanies the models in my new book, 1000 pin-ups. it's a really interesting book but it mentions far too many times that a lady is 'watching her weight because she knows that we are!' the 'we' referring to the gentlemen in the audience.

the book also has proudly listed the measurements of quite a few of the young ladies. there are plenty of photos of miss bettie page. she appears here and there and they display her leg measurements in one instance.

i love the pictures and in general it's not a bad book. however it has me feeling 'cow-like'. my self-esteem never really seems to be shooting off the charts but today has been especially bad. i'm desired as i am and shouldn't worry about it. but unfortunately i can't stop thinking about that. these highly positive thoughts are unfortunately linked to visions of DQ blizzards.

ain't that convenient? smile
