So, about a month ago I started wearing my old engagement ring from Darren on a chain around my neck. I wanted to just wear it on my right hand, but that finger is a little to fat for it (ok sometimes I wear it on my left for fun, don’t tell anyone). What’s funny about this is it always elicits comments and questions from strangers. For example, yesterday in the booze store:
Cashier Dude: “Engaged, used to be engaged, mothers?”
Me: Inward sigh because there is no short explanation “Used to be engaged from 18-20, broke up and now we’re dating again but not engaged.”
Cashier Dude: “Oh, wow, that’s interesting. Just remember things always happen for a reason.”
Me: “Ha, yup.” Give me my wine now please
As I was walking out the door he was still trying to talk to me, something about how he’s still a bartender at heart. Whatever dude, do I really look that friendly? I don’t think so.
Yesterday’s workout was 2 miles on the treadmill, 8:46 pace, followed by back, biceps, and legs. I was sore by late afternoon, which means I’m extremely sore this morning.

I finished the third Hunger Games book last night, yes I majored in speed reading, and pretty much agree with what everyone told me about it. While still really good, not as good as the first two. I loved the trilogy as a whole, but I did have one problem with it. The majority of the book is so detailed and everything is explained, you really become engrossed in the story. Then at the end, it’s like the author decided she was over writing or an editor told her to wrap it up, because the end of all three books is squished into like three pages.
I found myself having to go back and read something three times last night, because I was trying to figure out what the hell was going on. All of a sudden weeks of time were smashed into three paragraphs, and I didn’t like it. You just get the feeling the book is trying to end quickly. It was the same for all three, did anyone else feel like this? Maybe it was just me.
Anyway, tomorrow is the day I leave for Chicagoooo, and I’m pumped. Although I’m kind of sad no one will be there to meet me at the airport, that’s always my favorite part, big airport hugs. Hopefully Darren makes it from Wisconsin to Chicago before too late tomorrow!
