Wednesday, May 30, 2007In a Perfect World.......I'd be finishing my first draft of "Book Two," since now's the time to get it done without the added responsibility of a newborn in the house (not to mention the subtracted sleep). In the real world, I haven't been sleeping all that well and I can't write when my brain has congealed into a fur-lined mass. Really, I can't. I just stare. ...I'd be writing lists of Things To Pack For The Shore, since lists are a great way of reducing the stress of trying to remember what to bring. In the real world, everything is swimming around in my head while I noncommittally check them off, one by one. Am I stressed about it? Not yet. Not yet... ...I'd remember to faithfully do my 200 Kegel exercises every day in preparation for natural childbirth. In the real world, I'm lucky to get in 50 or 60, because I can't seem to remember and...well, I hate them. And I can't do them while I'm typing. I'm just not that coordinated. (I know this because I just tried.) ...I'd stop worrying about gaining too much weight. Everyone tells me I look great, and everyone knows you should never "diet" during pregnancy. But the weight gain is the one (and probably only) part of pregnancy that makes me break out in hives. In the real world, I'm obsessing over it. ...I'd have gone to see At World's End on opening night, like the rest of the Pirates fanatics in this country. In the real world, Eric only just got back from a week out of town that night, and I'll be seeing the movie this weekend instead. Stay tuned for my next Jack Sparrow emote-fest. And now, it's back to trying to balance my perfect world with my real one. Wish me luck... |
