March 7, 2000 -- 10:20 PM EST

Long day today running around with errands and then a meeting at the office. The good thing is that I ate today.

That sounds funny, but I did -- I ate normal meals at normal times instead of getting all distracted or bogged down. I had made food ahead this weekend so it helped keep me sane. Now I have to make more food ahead for the next few days. Otherwise I'll be eating cereal and oatmeal like crazy again and to be honest, I can only take so much cereal and oatmeal!

Since I was out at the office, I was at my old gym. Had a nice workout -- I really enjoyed it! I hope my near-home gym gets their new elliptical cross trainers soon because my near-work gym is so much cooler because of it!

Still no bras in the mail. Helllloooo?! Will I have them before for this weekend?!

I got Paul some pants he needed badly and lucked into some dresses for myself. I'm so used to heading right to size 14 that I forget to look at size 12, and I suddenly remembered to look on my way out to the register and what do you know? I got the three dresses off that rack. Go figure! I don't think I know my own size very well anymore. I really, really hope the bras fit, I'd hate to return them and then be waiting again for the next size over!

One of the dresses is an Apostrophe brand dress. At first glance, I misread it as Astrophe and did a double take like I always do whenever I see that brand. Laugh.

The thing I was more excited about was getting a new bathing suit though. So I am going to stuff it into my gym bag and try to squish in some swimming time tomorrow. I haven't done that in months and months! Maybe I'll call Holly up and make her come. I know she really likes swimming.

More excitement? I found my sneakers! I found them at www.gear.com, ordered them, saved $40, and they are on their way. YEAH! I was starting to get depressed that I was going to have to go through that whole sneaker try on thing all over again if I couldn't find anywhere stocking my model. I didn't want to fuss over my shoes. I know which ones worked on my feet. I just wanted the shoes. Well, I got them.

I'm almost through drinking my 3 L of water.

Am I on the ball or what?!
