so today i participated in the 2004 Bay Bridge Walk. my elbows got sunburned. i don't really know how to describe this experience. and i don't really want to. let's just say that i've got the bug and plan on doing the national care for kids walk-a-thon in august too.
then i went to the montpelier mansion for their spring festival.
it was a lot of walking. and THEN i topped all of that off with cleaning the bathroom and 2 hours of yardwork. my legs are pleasantly jello-ified right now. i was very productive today, come to think of it. i even remembered my sit ups.
it was the coolest thing trimming the bushes in the front yard with the "tut tut, it looks like rain" sky looming overhead. and there is just something about powertools... the hum of the electric hedge trimmer... the ominous breeze... the clouds welling up inside, promising to let their tears fall as soon as they can't hold them back anymore.
the neighborhood was missing the swarms of children running around. clearly kept pent up inside by their parents. it was almost like a ghost town. i sat on my upper deck, covered with pollen polka dots, with a glass of lemonade. it was getting too cold to be wearing a tank top. i looked out at the playground and imagined playing on it, screaming "neener neener! i'm outside and you aren't" to all the kids with their noses pressed up to their windows. instead i just sat there and my thoughts traveled to a time when i engaged in another type of "play" on a playground back in high school. i haven't been naughty in public since a midnight drive to the eastern shore back in october.
i feel like that's too long.
what is it about the smell of rain that just makes you feel so dangerous?
i came inside and took the best cold shower of my LIFE. i totally had an herbal essence moment... only with finesse instead. and without the orgasm.
but it was still cool.
i don't know where i was going with this. so i'm done. werd 'em up.
