Meet my new secret girlfriend

[luckycanuck]

YW: From Crossfit: 25 dynamic pushups, 5 dumbbell swings, then 20-10, 15-15, 10-20, 5-25.  Then row 400 metres and 40 bicep curls, 5 rounds.  Awesome.

TW: A leg centric day.  200 leg presses 20 at a time and holding in a stress position for a 20 count.  100 calf extensions.  100 openers and 100 closers, with 10 burpees every time I stopped.  50 deadlifts at 90kg.  50 box jumps with 10kg medicine ball.  And a huge endorphin hit such that you could probably have cut my foot off without me noticing.  I actually got quite sleepy.

Another Bill was introduced to Parliament today which I am handling.  The Minister for Transport gave me a little sales pitch on why raising the excise on aviation fuel by 25% is a good idea.  It's been a good week and I feel like I am going places.

I was looking through pictures of an ex girlfriend's trip to America (I've always gotten on fairly well with exes) and seeing her travels made me miss her.  I've been single for well over two years now, and though it took me some time to get used to the split I have done so.  But when looking through some e-mails we exchanged in a rough patch I felt a combination of nostalgia and regret.  She really loved me, but everything about our relationship seemed to be a struggle.  Some of it was always going to be a struggle (like me considering the priesthood and her being an atheist) and some things were handled badly (like me still being friends with a previous ex.)  I've felt regret over this less and less and in fact I haven't felt regret for quite some time.  But I've felt it recently.

On a happier note, I've got a new secret girlfriend.  We have Sky News on all day, and while the insurance ads they have on repeatedly drive me to distraction (and have convinced me that if I were to have children I would be dead within a few months leaving them with mortgage repayments and funeral expenses) I am quite partial to one of their reporters.  Her name is Brooke Corte and she is a business reporter.



She is also unspeakably cute.

So what if she hasn't met me yet!

I asked my trainer what a burpee was today. There was an explanation followed by much head shaking and "no you can't do that your shoulder will snap in half" Silly muscles I don't have working properly yet and want.

Burpees are awesome exercise, but they can be pretty full on. I've done face plants on the way down.

What? You've never had a secret girlfriend/boyfriend?

Secret Girlfriend is probably married. :)

You are lucky to get along with exes. Most of my exes are insane. Your explanation of the recent e-mails viewings makes you sound like a masochist.

SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUP!!!!

I'm sentimental I guess, which would explain not deleting old e-mails. I'm not sure masochist is the right word, but I do tend to feel bad if I make the other person feel bad.

Ah yeah. Hubbs is the same way about hurting people's feelings, which started a few fights in the beginning because his exes were being inappropriate on MySpace and I let them know what's up. XD

I say masochist because you intentionally look over painful memories and relive them more or less. I'm sentimental, but I keep it in photos and I let go of bad things quickly. I save most of my sentimentalism for family, but I can understand trying to stay friends with someone who did, in fact, make you happy. Sometimes they can be salvaged.

There were very pronounced highs and lows. The e-mails I looked over contained both, and in fact the lows made the highs even higher.

That I can understand. Still seems masochistic to me. :D

Gentlemen in new suits prefer blondes.

Any other evidence for your blonde/new suit theory?
