Laboring on Labor Day

Hello out there in cyberland.

I hope everyone is having a fabulous holiday weekend. Here in LA it is hotter than a heat wave in hell! After a fabulous brunch of the greatest French toast I have ever eaten (seriously, it was worth going anti-macro for) I spent the day grading papers (which I also did last night until midnight) and have been enjoying the airconditioning of my little house while I plan for tomorrow's classes.

Saturday I was referenced to a potential "set up" as the average Jewish girl. The match maker told me she hoped I wasn't offended. I told her no, but the comment has been bothering me ever since - I am sooo vain. The next morning I woke up and went for a hike. As I made way for an older man to come up where I was coming down he said to me "keep up the exercise." Hmmm do I look that bad AND is it such a horrible thing to be labled average? I thought I was over all of that superficial/physical bullshit after last year only to have it thrown in my face two days in a row. But this morning on my way to the Griddle, I slipped on my size 6 white pants to spite my matchmaker and that old man on the hill.

I have to admit that besides for Saturday, it has been a lonely weekend, but something inside of me is saying to enjoy it now since I may not be this lonely again! Oooh I am watching the end of Hamlet now...the part of the play called The Catastophe where Hamlet and Laertes duel and everyone dies! Such good drama.

I apologize for the lack of drama in my own life, but from now on I'll let the characters of fictional literature have all the fun!

Later,
Na-na
