A week and a half ago I wasn't sure this day would ever come.
I came home exhausted about work, life, and the thought of typing another word, and I even considered stopping this little experiment.
But for the first time in my life, I couldn't quit. I have no idea how that is even possible! I can't even finish reading a book for God's sake! I am the queen of starting projects and never finishing them.
It's not something I'm proud of, but it is something I 'own' because it's who I am.
But this time it was different. I thought about how I would feel when I turn 40 if I didn't finish, and how disappointed I would be in myself.
And this little voice inside my head pushed me on, and somehow I managed to get through it, and here I sit at day 100, very thankful that I made it.
Work, was work, full of the usual struggles and small victories.
One of my favorite parts of the day revolved around a guest, or should I say guests on the show.
They wrote a book called 'Dan & Mike's Guide to Men: 10 Secrets Every Woman Should Know from Two Guys Who Do'.
Interesting... I know men are pretty easy, but I still feel the need to overanalyze their actions, or lack there of, so when this one came across my desk I thought 'what the heck?!'
I got them on the show and during their short time in our studio they shared some interesting insights.
More importantly they shared a copy of the book with me! I've only had a chance to peek at a couple of the chapters, but I think I can learn a few things.
Now... if only I can get through it before my next relationship or date for that matter.
Ha Ha... fat chance, given my previous track record with books, but who knows? Maybe I'm on a new track?
As the day drew to a close Sunshine and I were walking out to our cars and I found myself waiving a shoe at a guy I work with as I said goodbye.
I always take an extra pair in case I need a more comfortable heel when I'm running around the tv station.
I realized it was a strange thing to do, but not completely out of the ordinary.
Then as we got out the door and into the parking garage my mind immediately popped back to Cinderella, and of course the shoe.
I realize I'm taking this whole Cinderella thing very literally, but when you're waiving random shoes at people... or losing shoes it only seems appropriate.
We are inching up on day 16 past the tea leaf reader, so who knows.

Yay, glad you aren't quitting! Had my tea leaf reading on Saturday...very interesting! Didn't give me the 61 day message but did say I would get pregnant next year so I guess I have 300+ days to find him ;)
