All Things Warm
April 5, 2007I love all things warm.
A glass, from the dishwasher.
Clothes straight from the dryer, soft and smelling of Bounce's outdoor fresh scent.
A fuzzy electric blanket, on winter nights.
Creamy corn soup, with big chunks of bread.
A loaf of french bread, freshly baked.
A cup of freshly brewed coffee, after it has sat in the kitchen counter for a while.
A warm shower.
The sun on my face.
A chair, after someone I love has been in it.
Warm lips on my forehead.
That night he asked me to be his girl.
Reclaiming My Waist and My Butt
How I lost my waist and my butt is a long story. It was sometime between my 30th and 32nd. Somewhere between the thyroid illness and the misguided belief that I could still eat and drink with abandon, despite the years marching on.
It was while I wasn't looking.
But I am waging a war to reclaim what is rightfully mine: a rockin' body. My breasts will always be small. My ankles will never be as shapely. My legs have stopped growing where I wished they would go on for miles. But by god, I will have my waist and my butt back.
Just you wait and see.
