It's OK Thursday

It's OK ...

... that I'm going to see "The Hunger Games" by myself this weekend.

I love going to movies solo.

And I'm not waiting any longer to see this movie.
Oh, and I'm Team Peeta ...
... even if the guy cast in the role looks nothing like the Peeta I pictured in my head.

... to be excited about a quiet weekend alone.

I've had so much fun with friends and family the past few weekends.

But I'm ready for some solo time.

And writing time.

... that I'd rather run that do almost any other form of exercise.

Except Zumba, of course.

Nothing ranks above Zumba right now.

But running is second.  Especially in this gorgeous weather.

... to have completely unrealistic daydreams.

Getting to touch Elvis Andrus' hair.

Writing a novel that becomes a movie.

Winning a huge lottery prize.

Ending up with that guy I know who gives me more than butterflies.

None of it will never happen, but it's fun to think about.

... that strangers have said some of the meanest things to me and about me recently.

In the past few months, I've had some horrible things said about me in public and private forums.

When I was in AZ, a woman walked up to me and told me I had beautiful hair, 

but then added that I should let it grow longer "because [I'm] chubby."

... to be upset by those comments, but then realize those people don't even know me.

I'm not sure what makes them think they have the right to say those things.

But the people who know me seem to think THOSE people are crazy.

I just need to remember to put more stock in the opinions of people who know me.
Sometimes that's easier said than done.

Sigh.

What's OK with you today?
