At first I was gonna just walk to Irving Park and call it a day. But a little voice inside me said, "Wouldn't it be a trip if I went 4 blocks further like to Addison?" <br /><br />So I dared myself and I made it to Addison. But didn't want to overdo it, right. I couldn't make it all the way to Belmont tonight? It's too dark and spooky. Okay, so I'm running along Lakeshore Drive and there'd be tons of witnesses to any crime against me. But it's late. And did I mention it's spooky. The closer to Belmont I get, the more those lobbies look like future crime scenes to me. So I made it all the way to Belmont.Dwight Okitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00275411311011228162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-720842172093428757.post-10029470518720044282013-08-13T17:49:21.251-07:002013-08-13T17:49:21.251-07:00Thanks, Alison.

And it's fun to refer to people by their initials.<br /><br />DEAR DIARY, M. has resurfaced in my online dating sphere. He's got the warmest smile and a buzz cut. Each time he addresses me online, he starts with "Hi, Handsome." Which is wonderful of course, but I need follow through. We still have yet to have our first coffee date! I told him that I know he's got a nutty schedule but please don't make me chase him for that cup of coffee. A boy must have his dignity.<br /><br />L. is gathering her new Chicago friends for dinner tomorrow. I will be attending and it will be nice to meet her other buds. Tonight I had a cheeseburger at that restaurant so I know that's one thing I'm definitely not ordering tomorrow. It was a good cheeseburger, but I need variety in my life.<br /><br />I have promised myself to lose 25 pounds this summer. So I've set myself to goal to walk from my house to Belmont. That's 10 blocks each way or 2.5 miles. Wish me luck, Diary. I've got my sneakers on and a clear destination in mind. In the next few minutes, it will be a tug of war between physical fitness and watching CNN. Pray I am victorious!Dwight Okitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00275411311011228162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-720842172093428757.post-25154922420276297612013-08-12T14:12:40.429-07:002013-08-12T14:12:40.429-07:00I like the Dear Diary part and how I compartmental...I like the Dear Diary part and how I compartmentalize aspects of my existence.Dwight Okitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00275411311011228162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-720842172093428757.post-47761683982184032902013-08-12T04:44:02.457-07:002013-08-12T04:44:02.457-07:00This was really interesting - true journey into &...This was really interesting - true journey into "Dwight"!<br /><br />I don't do the journal thing, and I see what you mean - coming up with a topic is torture, sometimes. :PAlison DeLucahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06979026382091362305noreply@blogger.com
