…because I think I’m ovulating now. So funny how few women realize that their cycle has this great upswing and not just the PMS part …it’s a cool feeling. Scientists have done studies on women in college that showed that girls were 2 or 3 times more likely to go out with friends; to wear brighter, more revealing clothing; to go on dates; and to have sex during this week of ovulation than at any other time of month: their behavior is dictated in part by something they’re barely aware of.
It’s great though; the energy, the drive, the sudden concentration on the opposite sex and sex in general. It is the zenith to the PMS-nadir in the circle of the month. This must be what men feel like all the time—lucky bastards…J I think that guys notice it on a sub-conscious level as well. Two male customers at the bank today told me I had pretty eyes, but my eyes look exactly the same as they do the rest of the time, so I think it’s the extra pheromones or something. They just aren’t sure what it is that they’re noticing.
I have drawn all the plans for my desk/screen, now I just hope that I have the skill to put them together without D’s help. (Eeek: power tools!) He is leaving Monday after this coming one and will be gone for a week—this should be plenty of time to do the thing right. I am over-engineering the desk so that it will be very, very strong; I want to be able to climb on it without fear and to have the dogs crash into it without wobbling—not like that coffee table. I need to read a book on stenciling to figure out how to get the words painted onto the screen, Debbie Travis or something; Borders, here I come! (yay!)
My little sister KK got her new car today, to replace the one that was totaled in the wreck; a 2003 Honda Civic, 2-door, silver, ≤30,000 miles, sunroof. It’s pretty cute. I’m glad she got something out of this at least.
