it's saturday afternoon and i'm waiting for m & co to arrive or not arrive
and i turned on college football
and made corn cakes from scratch and sprinkled them with fresh chives
then i cleaned the house from last night's party
and sorted the recycling
and did laundry
all in tom's sweatpants and wearing a thin tee-shirt without a bra
and i realize that i'm trying to prove to myself something about my identity
like i'm creating myself as the perfect girlfriend
or what i think the perfect girlfriend would be like
or the perfect wife
and i don't have on any make up and i haven't brushed my hair
but i smell good and my toenails are painted
most of it means nothing
now i will go shopping for
a) a new corkscrew (grrr)
b) kahlua
c) a mattress pad?
d) a copy of "Knowing God" by Packer
e) garbage bags & paper towels
f) a velvet jacket
g) brown shoes
and i will not put on a bra first
