keeping score

Count: 3 successfully picked ingrown hairs

Bridget Jones counted cigarettes ("fags") and food pertaining to her diet. Every day of my life is a struggle with my weight so I don't feel any need to make a special effort to contain my overeating. I revel in it. But I do figure I should count something as a means of separating the days from each other. And today was the longest day of my life. I didn't even mention the 30 hairs I tried to pick or the 12 I made up or the 5 I left bloody and unsuccessful because I couldn't retrieve the stranded hair.

I wish I could ask Bridget Jones what she would do if her baby put all his/her toys in the toilet while she was in the shower. I think I'd like her answer. I thought about keeping in theme with the title of this blog and theorizing what Gwyneth would have done had Apple done the same, but we all know what she would do: buy more toys.

Which leads me to the following thought: maybe it's more boring on a daily basis to be rich. I mean, when you have people to do everything for you, what do you do when you're bored?

Nah. Whom am I kidding?
